None OF the Nipsic's officers desired to
return, and they expressed willingness to
accept the risk of eneouniering bad
weather. Captain Mallan, however, be-
lievei it would be impossible to lower
boats from the Nipsic in case it became
necessary to do SO, and there seemed to
be some danger that il the vessel met
with rough water she would lose her
rudder entirely and then be swept into
the trough Of the sea and rolled over.
Captain Mullan accordingly gave orders
