excitement Orders were given by the Cap

the first man who attempted to force his way
into the boat before all the women and

selwas soon discovered at 8 distance Of eight
miles, and the Glasgow was at once put I'M
der full head Of steam towards her, firing
minute guns and displaying signal flags,
saying 81 am on IRE" The vessel changed
her course and made for the Glasgow. In
