exclaimed that IL nothing was impos-
sible to him, and said If the naval en-
gineerB aboard were unable to devise
means Of lowering the masts while the
ship was ahoat he would teach them
how
Accordingly, he drew up a scheme
for unshipping the masts by means OF
hawsers attached to the bow and to
the other masts. It was while this
hawser was being rugged up under his
personal direction that a rope snapped
and the end struck him III the face.
His eye was seriously injured. The

had the pole mast lowered, doing con
