on his mind ; that was particularly on the afternoon of the "28th Novem ber. After tho vessel struck, 3a\v that ho had hi* face bandaged up, and prevailed upon him to come to town and see Dr. Haines. That gentleman extracted a tooth at once, and gave him a sleeping draught after a shook of the electric buttery. Took the captain to Dr. Haines afterwards, when he got another shock of the battery.

By Mr Williamson : I have had com munications with the owners of the Triumph on behalf of Captain Brotherton. I cannot say a syllable ns to the amount of insurances on her. I made no inquiries. The sale did not tako place by direction or with tho knowledge of the owners, but at the request of Lloyd's agents, and of the agent for the Associated Insuranco Companies of New Zealand, on the report of Captains Clayton and Worsp. The inatmctions were to sell her as soon as possible, on behalf ot whom it might con cern. The captain was told by Dr. Camp bell to follow tho instructions of Lloyds' agentc and surveyor (Captain Clayton), or otherwise he would have been blamed for any accident that might have occurred. In carrying out those instruc tions, Captain Brotherton applied to me for funds, appliances, &c, which I have sup plied all along. Thero was some difficulty about divers ? -Yes. It has been said that^t was through you tho agreement with the diver was not carried out. Can you tell us about that ?—I am sorry to say I have not tho agreement with me, AH I can say is that I was on tho stranded ship when a pigeongram was ashore by Captain Neariug, asking for n diver ainonv other things. What message waa dc-livoved by tho Star to our ship ping clerk, who did not woll know what to do, but made some private agreement. When I left for there Captain Nearing asked mo to send a diver; 1 asked him what I should pay, nnd he said £2 per day. On landing our clerk said tho diver would not go for loss than £30 a day. Tho diver was puttinghia things on board tho steamer, but I at once stopped him, and told him there was a great difference between £2 and £30, though I would not obje t to pay i' 4 per day. The diver went to consult Capt. Haddock, who threw cold water on the matter. I quite expected my oiler would be accepted the next morning. Afterwards I made a moro farourablo ngreoment with tho diver —to take out cargo at so much per bar and bundle. Captain Nearing, recalled and examined by Mr Hesketh, deposed to assisting to get the Triumph floated. Captains Clayton And Worap were there, and about 50 lttbourors. Tho mon remained on board tvith witness until the day before the vessel was fold, and used every endea vour to get her oft". Every means that could be got was used, with the exception of tlivors. Mr Nathan oS'erod witness and Mr (rouk £50 > a-piece If they succeeded in getting the vessel off. We gave up o ir effcr s to float h:sr becau-o we had done all wo could, and ydes got bad, while a north-east gale altered tho position of the ship. By Mr Williamson: Were not all tho appliances, which were afterwards used, to S» got in Auckland at the timo you were working on tho vessel ? Witness : They were here, but could not begot. People who havo the?o things are not willing to let them out. I applied for a pulsometer pump, and could not get it. This closed tho evidence on behalf of -Captain Brothorton. 1 [Left sitting.]
