 Captain Killed.
 At last one shell blew the captain off the bridge. killing him outright and terribly mutilating him. Just before that he had given orders to launch the boats, but this was very difficult under the shell fire. Several men were struck down while working at the davfts.

Another shell burst along side him. shattering one of the spokes of the wheel but young ParsloW re- mained at his post.
