"There was nothing to do but to drive ahead and face the gale. With great difficulty: our captain naaged to keep the ship's head to the storm, for if we had gone kroadside, even for a few moments, all would have been lost. On the third day of the gale I was stand- ing in an alleyway looking forrard and watching the breakers. This was at about nine o'clock in the evening. Suddenly a great wave camo over the ship.

Mr. Oddie said that it was un- Iortunate that the dropsy in the man's lungs was not discovered, Ho added:

It ought to have been, but it was not. It is a case of mistaken diagnosis. One must feel deep sympathy with the widow in this case, for it is quite obvious thai her husband ought not to have, been subjected to this operation.

It may be some comfort to her to know that if the doid:in the chest had been found, as it ought to have been, it would have had to be drawn off, and probably an anmsthetic such as he had would have been given, and probably he would have died as he did.
