Juswer to Mr. Francis Mr. Lowe again re pented that Captain Lee did not live a fast life, and that comparing his mode of life with that of other Captains as far as he knew, he did not think he led a fast life at all; but he could not very well make a comparison as he had been more intimate with Captain Lee than with any of the other Captains he had sailed with.

Lee's death, about its being a sad affale and so on. Dr. Clouth did not then ask witness about the amyl nitrite, but said he had been informed by the chief officer that Captain Lee had been to see Dr. Fisher. Witness said to Dr. Cloath that he considered it very strange that Dr. Fisher had told Captain Lee that there was nothing the matter with his lungs. Next morning witness told Dr. Clouth that he had got, the amyl nitrite from the Dispensary. This was when he went to the Civil Hospital to ascer tain the result of the post mortem examination. One of the three bottles was open and standing on the Saigon aideboard and witness told the chief officer take it with him to the hospital lest the boys might get hold of it. There were other medicine bottles in Captain Lee's cabin,

which was locked up. Witness could not say why he did not put the one bottle in the captain's cabin instead of ness was not on board it to the hospital. Wit

The Coroner replied I don't wish you to make any remarks of that sort.

Mr. Francis-I shall make any remark 1 like; this is a public Court of Justice.

Dr. Clouth continued From the way in which the body was found, and from the position of the hand and handkerchief, witness thought that Captain Lee might have taken an overdose of the drug when he lay down, and died in con- sequence of it. He took the handkerchief in his hand and smelled it, but could detect no partic- ular smell about it.

After a certain time nitrite of amyl leaves no trace, but how long he could not say. He thought not after ten hours. Witness enquired at the Chief Officer of the Yangtrae yesterday what had become of the handkerchief.

[The Chief Officer being in Court the Coroner asked him if he knew where the handkerchief had been put. The Chief Officer said he believed the handkerchief had been put into the coffin with the body.]
