THE JEANETTE INVESTIGATION.
Washington. Nov. 20.-In answer to .
question as to the condition of the jean
nette before the heavy pressure of June
18th. Danenhower said: She was very
strong ship. with the exception. that her
fore foot was twisted.
Question-"Knowing her condition al
that time, would you, If in command of
the expedition, have deemed it expedi.
ent to continue the Artic expedition ?''
Answer-"No, for she had fitted out
originally for thres years and the sup.
ply OF clothing, provisions, &C., would
not warrant another year in the
ice. The supply of coal
also would have been insufficient for the
coming winter as the ere had already
been exposed for two years to tho rigors
OF an Arctic climate; furthermore the
custom when ship is fitted out for three
years Of Arctic work is to return at the
end OF the second summer.
The entry in the ships log for the last
day previous to her Abandonment was
identified bv the witness as the hand.
writing of Capt. DeLoug.
Danenhower stated that about 4 O'Clock
in the morning he was awakened BY q
seaman who was calling his relief, say.
ing: "Hurry up, for the ship is going
down." Witness heard the crash and
the remarks OF two men as they watched
her go down that morning. After all
hands were called the ship sank
and she was visite. by the
party. A cabin chair, signal
chest and piece of wood were found.
Witness was asked, "what was the con.
dition Of the ice on the 18th of June?'
aud replied: 1t was vety much broken
and thrown up in ridges. The large foe
in which We had been drifting for ten
months. seemed to have been broken W
by hanging on Henreltta island and
swinging around to the northwest. The
average thickness of the ice was abou,
ten feet.
Record and court adjourned until to.
morrow.
| Washington, Oct. 2l.-Danenhower
testified that everything was done that
was possible to avoid the loss of the
Jeanette. No shi pcoul6 have survived
under the circumstances and had the
witness been in command of the jean
nette be would have tried to get her out
OF her pack on the evening of Sept. 9Th
as the prospects OF success would have
been good.
