and a-half from tho island ten minute? before the ship struck. 1 ilmi't believe I W ns ownkc ten minutes boforo tlio ship struck. 1 misiM l'l^'l-' l )CL' n walking on the bridge and still asleup. There havo been' such" cases. I felt drowny when I went on tho bridge, but I did not take the precaution of having someone on the bridge with mo. The otlicers were all busy. 1 shipped .several men here, but I do not know whether they knew the; course. It was not. his intention to pass the island before lie altered Ilia course, but (o get abreast of it. After tlio ship struck iind I realised my position, I kept tho esgiiie* goinir full speed astern, and took Roundinga, ascertaining at the same time how much of the ship was hanging on the reef. On that and subsequent days, I called in assistance from liero to get the vessel off. I did everything 1 considered best accord ing to my own judgment and tho judgment of others to gut the vessel oil. I was repeatedly recommended to take the iron out of the fore part of the ship. It was corrugated and railway iron, nails, bolts, &c There was about ISO tons of railway iron, belonging, I think, to tho New Zealand Government, while the restof the dead woight consisted of rails, bolts, &c., corrugated iron. &c. I did remove as much of°this as I could: When I loft the wharf, I considered the crew were in a tit stato to go on tho voyage. Only two of them wero a little the worse for liquor. I heard about one of my original hands falling overboard. I attribute my sleeping to over fatigue. I had been suffering from neuraluii for some time and could got little sleep. Besides that, I had been up at 4 o'clock. I had a gla?8 of champagne about 12 in the day, some claret and lemonade about 4, and a glass of brandy with tho pilot arter leavin tho shipping oilico. Ido not think that had anything to do with my drowsiness. That would riot nlP.ct me, Some of tho passengers were down to see me off. They regretted they were unable to present me with a testimonial, but have dono so since. I havo not been entertained at a banquet. When the testi monial was presented soveral bottles of champagne wore drunk, but nothing on that night. 1 heard tho pilot say one of my friends went over tho side worse for liquor. I believe tliftt was so. Part of that liquor, I believe, he got oil my ship. I had some emigrants for Wellington. They woro transhipped to the Manapouri because the fittings had to be pulled down to getthc cargo out. Tho eharterovs were at tho oxponse of tJiis transhipment of immigrants, and the reason given for this transhipmet is tho only ono 1 know of. After getting out the cargo, wo though it would bo more expen sive to put up the fittings and engage fresh cooks, and attendants, who had only boon engaged for Auckland than to pay the pas sages by the Mnnapouri. He had instruc tions to start whon the cargo was all in, (Ro plying to tho question whether ho thought ft'a judicious tiling to start at such an hour, when himself and the crew wore knocked up, the witness said he had simply to obey order.--, lie did not auk for any grace.) I have beun a niaster for" six yearn. I have not had a casualty bofore on a trading in China, i».')t havo collided with ice. I know 0 Captain Brotherton (my brother) who lost a ship (British Star) on the Macassar reef. By Mr Button—l know tho vessel was insured, and I havo heard there was £10,000 at Lloyd's, but I don't know about any other. I myself have no interest or sharo in t'io ship oither directly or indirectly, and the only explanation I can givo of the euiseof thiscasualty is that being ovoi tired, 1 wont to sleep on tho bridge. The light was not shining on the ship's deck when she struck, and when she was aahpre, theio was no light from tho house., on the ship! We CDulcTseo tho light, ..which was about. 300 fetfcabovo us. On the 30th Nov., I cnlioil in the assistance of several sea-faring meu to get thaehipoft'. , Captains Worsp and Clayton wore tho surveyors. The reports are in Mr Uesketh's possession. The fora part of tho_sl|ip was lightened by taking cargo out. - Cargo was taken out oi. tho aftor part too. Wo got the cargo out ol the fore part of tho ship as fast as pos sible, while wo could get at it. We could not get at the railway lion, bocause tho wate" was* in that p.irt the moment tho ship struck.
