sent from the quarter deck and the Order
~ from the cabin door. The commander

the men confined and the ensign placed
under arrest for being asleep on his post
and denying il. Kline then called and
said after coming on watch he went AIT to
look at the steam cutter which was towing
astern; then took several turns OH the
bridge and went into the pilot house. Be-
tween one and two bells the sentry re-
ported alright. Later the quarter

dercd him, the quartermaster and the or
Gerly under arrest. The with ,ss stood

roborated this testimony. II was brought
out that Flynn stood watch for the quar-
termaster while the latter went To the
