I went forward).

Arbat Imich. I heard a noise and came aft. I did not see the Captain but saw the mate. The mate ran into his room and shut the door. Then I stopped for a little longer when people from the Steamer came away, then I went down to the forecastle and laid down.

They told me to get into the boat and go. William Clarke, Boatswain of Ship "Frederick" examined as follows:

Question: Do you remember the statement you made at the trial concerning the disturbance which occurred on board the "Frederick" on the night of the 24th July? Yes.

Statement enclosed read to Witness by Interpreter. Is that statement correct? Answer: No.

Make any further statement. When I was questioned by the Interpreter as to whether the Captain had quarrelled with several persons, I said there had taken place a quarrel with the Captain between I. Gittens, Mason, Mare's Soldier, and that the Captain had threatened them.
