wrre continually occurring-all sf which it is i'm
possible for me TO recoliect. A change of manner
or beard ship is very easily observed, and ! had
observed it in this casc but could not trace il TO
any cause until | was told that there was nutiny
on board, and then my mind turned back to naRy
instances which had occurred.
Judge Adv Was there any change observable

steerage cook Gallia frequently talking together in
Spanish; and carelessness the part of Small
about doing his duty. On soEc part of the passage,
sheet carried away. The yard was clewed
d.wn, ard the Commander ordered me 10 shift the
ialyards end for esd. Small, Godfrey, GoIdeman

them te make the necessary changes, but they-were
lazy while about it, and | finally had TO go alot
myself found they had done The work in such
a slovenly manner ihat had to do it al! over.
The manner of all except Godfrey very flif
and disres peciful.
Jadge 14dv.-Hnd you observed any change in
the general conduct of the crew-and at what
time did it take place

| Wales reported TO me morning that MIR Spen-
Ger was exercising his hands upon ba,tle-axc, as
it for the purpose ofusing it. Immediately went
upon deck and saw him have hold of the axe, NOV
ing it up and down, apparently to see what use nc
could make of it with his irons on; Wilson's hav-
ing concealed the knife have mentioned was also
suspicious circumstance. Mr. Wales, think,
mentioned Wilson's having been about the lauach,
and McKinly's having his hand upon haud-
spike as if they looking about for some
weapon. His manner.wps threatening to in

Judge Adr.-Was the conduct of the rest of
the crew after the OF Spencer, Cromwell and
