We have seen it stated that five of Capt.
BIS officers, who had made declarations mot
dispositions; for the statements appear not
to have been made on oath) had confirmed
the statement given by capt. Bingham of his
rencontrc with the President. These five
oihcers were Lieutenant, the boatswain,
Surgeon and PHrSer, and one of whose rank
or station is not known. 1t is fair presump
tion that these were all the men on board
who could be got to certify to his statement
and we may imagine the difficulty to which
Bingham must have been retlucedto procure
testimony in his favor, when the surgeon and

command, whose duty requires them to re-
main below, and who of all on board, must
