YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

Is Yesterday afternoon the examination of
Patrick III. Names, engineer Of the steam
er Jennie Gilchrist, was continued until a
late hour. After detailing all the circum-
stances in connection with his own expert
ence as an engineer, as published in THE
ANGUS yesterday. his testimony was as
follows @~ -
- Peter liver, the mate, drinks OCCASION
ally, have seen him under the inhaeHce
of liquor, and think that he had taken
some liquor GA Thursday, Oct. 9th, the
day of the accident; but do not think he
was drunk. He was about the deck attend
ing to his duties as mate. r..s
We had some trouble on account of
drunkenness with some of our colored
men short time ago. but we have had no
trouble of that kind lately. r1
Between $50 and 10 p. .nl., we backed
out from Rock Island with fat No. 8" and
Robert in tow. The mo. 3" was loaded
with empty lime barrels ahead and the
Robert" upon the port side. We blew
the whistle for the bridge and went through
the draw with 145 pounds of steam. The
captain intended to drop the Robert" at

with the port side under water. We got
on barge and drifted to shore where we
were picked up by the Evansville, | heard
some one call to everybody to get on the
barge, but don't know who it was, nor If
there was time enough for all to have done
before the striking. Think it was about
five minutes from the time Of the accident
to the collision with the bridge. There
WAS al anchor on DOdrU, Dub II WAS near
the boilers when I last saw it; don't know
that there was any effort to use it on that
occasion.
In answer to a question as to the proper
location of an anchor on board, he said
that its position near the boilers was not
the proper place.
II don't know that there was cable at
tached to the anchor; think not. The
skiff was abaft the pilot house when we
left Rock Island. When l got out Of the
engine house did not see the boat on~the

there or not I considered the Jennie Gil
christ safe for passengers.

LAST NIGHT.


Dora Dorrence, the captain of the Jen-
ME Gilchrist, last night testified as fol
lows: -''f*
II am 80 years Of age, and by occupa-
ton am pilot on the Mississippi river,
between Muscatine and Dubuque, and live
at LeClaire. Have been employed on the
river for the past 10 years; have had a
license for the past four years, granted by
Messrs. Girden and Scott. Have been a
pilot on the Jennie Gilchrist four months
in $780, and since the 9th of May, 1881,
up to the time of our loss
Have seen the license signed by the gov
ernment inspectors allowing the Jennie
Gilchrist to carry 169 pounds of steam,
dated last Spring. My license dates from
June 2, 1881, and runs for one year from
date. The Gilchrist was licensed to carry
% passengers. A boat to carry passen-
gers must have boat, axes, life preserv-
ers, floats, hose, wire tlller ropes and bell
wires; don't know that any extra tiller was
on board; had fire buckets and about two
dozen life preservers. We had boat in
good condition. Had an anchor large
enough for the boat, and 400 feet of 2-inch
hawser, which was used in towing barges
The witness stated that of late years the
custom of having anchors ready buoyed
and with cable ready to let 60 while pass
ing through the bridge was not generally
observed, although such was the custom
ten years ago. The Gilchrist, when the
accident occurred, was provided with
everything demanded by the United States
Inspectors. She has been employed gen
orally during the past season in towing
coal. One of the cams slipped during
the season when on my way to
Rapids City & to Clinton. 1t
was was repaired by the engineers in
a few moments, we continued down
stream. About two weeks ago the engin-
Ger reported the thread slipper on the cam
rod of the cast, off of the starboard engine.
We dropped down, made fast to the shore
and repaired, and then proceeded up
stream I,have heard the steam frequently
blow of, and was perfectly satisfied that
the proper amount of steam only was be-
ing carried. We only commenced to run
as u passenger steamer since the floods,
and as we did not have a distance of 100
miles to run, no list of passengers was res
quired. We have had from 10 to 10 pas
sengers during our trips, and only small
amount of freight. We have carried more
freight in weight than was carried on the
night of the accident, although not SO
much In bulk, as we had 600 barrelis
loaded on at Davenport. They were on
tho upper deck, piled in double tiers.
