THE "TRAVANCORE" INQUIRY.

FURTHER EVIDENCE-

After our report of the proceedings had left the Marine Court fast evening another witness was. caled and examined.

Thomas Nash, bo'o'n, said that on the 31st May, he was officer of the watch from six to eight pm. The chief mate said to him “ Bo's'n, I must be a capable man, as the captain has given me charge." Witness thought it was then, that the captain was under this influence of drink. the cbserved him in the afternoon

p.m., he saw him slide backwards and fall into a sitting position on the deck. He then fell on his back. Henior apprentice Cordon was at the wheel at the me. He got up and leaned with his side against the ravi, looking forward to see if the men were taking notice, Witness went on deck at seven bells on the 1st June; ani saw the ship near land. At eight bells they had orders in "onut ship,” and he sent two men forward to attend to the head

But she is fit to essay the sea. The naval engineers in their workmanlike overalls go to and fro, examining the engines, watching the stokers, and holding conversation with the man testing compasses. We are sure of our selves. The apprentices smoke their pipes and enjoy the crowded river. The plot on the tall, upper deck calls to the man at the wheel, and our siren drives barges and rowboats to the

river banks.

We suck a great scoop of water from the river level with us at the bank, and a ceaseless wave pours foaming into this hollow as we forge carefully forward. Steamers and boats are set rocking violently in the wake of our 660 tons. People pause un the bridges to watch us - as we come. Out of a grey,heiven slect des cends in a stinging hiss. We are making a dramatic entrance on the age of the world.,

Daylight falls as we calch our first glimpse of ocean. Far ahead of us a fishing. fleet stretches across the broad mouth of the river, the multitudinous masts silhouetted mistily against mountainous white clouds which buttress a green sky. Rebind us darkness intensifier. We are moving at a great pace, making a wide path of milky foam in the iron-coloured water. The stokers are work. ing with every muscle in their bodies, and sparks and flames begin to whirl out of our chimneys into the cold gloom. Twenty knots an hour, and a clear course. We are racing to the open sen.
