John Whalen embarked in two boats from Po: Covo for
the purpose OF firing four charges powder containing
100 pounds each, the Fryingpan" Two Of tho
charges fred and the third lowered down upon the
rock but. before the operation was finished. the bog
containing the canister became broken. and the sand
with which it was ballasted out into the watcr-con-
sequeny the buoyancy Of the canister caused 1t to riso
to the surface and it therefore hauled alongside
the wooden charge boat, with the view Of conveying it
ashore. the other charge sunk upon the rock and
the wires properly attached 1t appears that by
mistake the part Of the two in the charge boat
they handed Mr. Maillefrt The wires attached the
floating canister instead If those attached the canister
lowered upon the rock and he accordingly applied them
TO the galyanc battery which he had with him and inn

The body OF one Of the two men in the wooden boat
