evidence of the Chinese witnesses badly interpreted that it was even impossible to reproduce it. It would thus seem that the European evidence; as to which there could be no doubtful meaning should have been the evidence on which to consider their rider.

The latter is very strongly worded and, is to the effect that: the deaths on board, the Quiding War were in a great measure due to the want of sufficiently wholesome provisions and by the insufficiency of clothing, consideration whatever having been given to the request of a good many of the passengers to taste lime juice.

They say the evidence shows that the provisions, with the exception of the fish, were poor from the first though eatable. As I presume the jury agree with the Commissioner as to the value of the Chinese evidence, I will confine my observations to what is stated by the European witnesses.

The Master Thomas Bishop had stated, "The passengers were rationed, with the exception of one day, up to the time of our arrival. We had plenty of pork, fish and rice", and immediately afterwards adds, "We ran out of biscuit a fortnight before we came in."
