hers were the first signals l heard. All

| Scioto signals. The first whistle that
| heard from the Tomas was
| three short blasts, after she
struck US and she was on our left, nearer
| the Ohio shore than we were. l do not
| think the Scioto changed her course after
| she whistled, but kept straight up the river:
