CAPTAIN cAENAGHAN.
the commander OF the vessel, was universally
known aD.e ana Trustworthy seaman. KIND
ana considerate oiiccr, and man possessing IN
domitable courage. His lntrepldty has been proved
more than one occasion, especially III the cssa
OF this same snip on former voyage across the Al
lanic when the propeller having become loose and
dangerfng greatly the safety OF the ship, lie was
lowered iuto the sea aud with chains he secured
the propclsrr as 70 enable htm to san the vessel
safely into port
The esteem when he invariably engendcred has
on several occasions been handsomely and APP
proprlately testified to by those who had
sailed with him. and on the day on which
he last sailed from this port he received
costly testimonial OF silver plate from the passcn-
gers ana friends who had been with him on former
voyages. IL is safe TO conclude that everything
which human skill could do to avoid the accident
