and landed the crew Of the British tank

and later foundered.
The sufferings of the crew of the LII

were greatly increased by the bolster

before they were taken off, heavy seas
constantly washed the vessels decks.
Signals OF distress wcro hoisted in the

burned at night. The crew was amazed
that two steamers which were sighted

fer-proceeded without attempting to rem

The correspondence diseloses some in

Commander Fulam did not hesitate to
call him a traitor because Isauia at that
time was in arms against it, He further
told him that by reason OF his conduct
lie would be treated as an enemy of the

Ensign McNair would have been jush-
fled in shooting him on the spot. The
fact that the British man-of-war was
not present to resent the insult TO the
British flag. says Commander Fullam, In
one OF his letters to 1saula, was all the
more reason why the United States
should take prompt action of the fact
and demand an immediate apology In
unmeasured terms. Commander Fullam
