In lla report given the course hc waS Ht'riinF'
thouph "A knowledge of this Is essential \"
con,plrtr understanding of the oa'o' II must
nlan bc pontrd out that hts statements on olh'r
rnints contradict point blank the declarations
of tho master Of the collier Thus Captain M'f-
=, ANY, that ho showed the schooner his green
hpht nj Arst, whereas Captain Reed asserts that
hc first saw the red light of the steamer.
A,,in. Captnin Merry says hc starboardcd
ms helm. whereas, according 10 Captain kecd'
he ported il. Captain Merry further alleges
that the schooner ulcd, thus causing the col
li.ion. But Captain Reed says that though he
ordered his helm hard down WHEN the steamer
green Light came INTO view, the collision 90
currcd before the schooner had answered hcl
helm.
twill be seen from these comparisons that
tbc commanders of the two vessels contra
diet one another on the most vital point, ana
that il is. therefore. impossible TO determine,
from their statements alone, where 'hcrrSpon~i-
bHity rests. OF course. il makes all the differ
cucc i'm the world which Of the vessels shifted
her helm; i'm what direction; aud how their
LIGHTS bore to one another when first sighted,
and lust before the collision. There Is one
significant statement in Captain Mcuy'> report,
however. He says the schooner when first
sighted bore two points on his starboard bow.
Now when the collision occurred inns must have
been almost precisely the direction of the blow
received by the TalapooSa. and If that proves
70 he the case il will be difficult to show that the
TalapooSa made any effort 10 get ont OF the
schooncrs way. 1t must further be sad that
the burden of proof rests upon the commander
of the steamer II was his duty TO make way
for the schooner 1t was not the Schooners
duty to get ont of his way. Every sailing vessel
has a right To assume that steamer VIII give
vav to her. The question therefore Is, did the
commander of the Iallapoosa endeavor as he
saws he did. to give the sailing vessel room. In
view of the present hopeless conflict OF tcsti-
mony. it is plain that only an official inquiry,
including the watch ON deck from both vrssels,
can settle the question of responsibility, and
such an inquiry is certainly ncccsstatcd by the
singular contradictions regarding plain matters
of fact which have thus far been put forward.

but onr Government had long before been ON

This recital of facts established by ohicIal

pressed vital facts in every case, and has done
40 with deliberate intent to deceive. In nearly
all instances. the representations made by Mr.

to conceal the fact that those who were long

abandoned their right to protection as Amcn-
