ground but did not succeed. I then ordered the Boat on board and run 

 a Kedg and wharfs out dropped the anchor on the Bottom when the 

 Kedg- was run hove the anchor from the Bottom took the wharfs to the 

 windhis and hove up as it turned the vessel Head 2 points by the com- 

 pass but wast not able moving the vessel ahead and hove the Kedg 

 home I then orderded tlie man Pieter Gaaseland and Martin Jhonson 

 to get the stream anchor out of the hold and whyll engaged getting 

 the stream anchor up the mate of the vessel C. Lumberg came on boar<l 

 and started taking the conmiand out of my han .s by telling the two 

 seaman not to mind the Anchor out of the hold but hoist the sails 

 which I master of the vessel counter manded Avhich put the two man 

 in disput and disorder and did not know how to obey but at my com- 

 mand obeed my order then the mate commenced hoisting the sails by 

 himself which I prevented him to do; at which time the mate com- 

 menced fighting me and using bad Language and said I was drunk, 

 and whyll not on my gard struck me a heavy Blow on the Head and 

 tryed to strike me in the face which I prevented him to do as much as 

 posible by wearding the Blows of with hand and feet, and the work 

 getting the vessel from the ground wast Entirely stopped. 



as during this tinje the tide had vailing 6 a 7 inch and ther was no more 

 possibility getting the vessel of. and to prevent more trouble, 1 wend 

 on shore with Mr. Robertson ships Builder and stopped in his house at -5 

 p m when the water commenced rising I left Mr. Kobersons house and 

 returned to my vessel, on my arrival on board my vessel a open letter 

 was handed to me from James J.Gray my owner, stating to let Mr. 

 M Maccinnan^ take charge of the vessel, and and after the vessel wast 

 (P. M.) aflote take her to a safe anclnnage after reading the note or 

 letter I took the ships boat and pulled over to the light house, to con- 

 sult with Mr. Macinnan about the Kedg anchor which which I had hove 

 home a good deal I thought was to light if miTch wind. I sugested to 

 him getting a heavier anchor out or run the Kedg farther out was told 

 by Mr. Macinnan that he thought the small Kedg would do, but left it 

 to myself laying a heavier anchor out or run the kedg farther, on my 

 return fi-om the light house on board my vessel 1 ordered the mate to 

 put a longer line on to the kedg Anchor and run it farther out but I was 

 told by the unite that 1 had nothing to do with the vessel and refused 

 to obey my oiders and put the man in disput again. 



at about 5 p. m. the mate wast going to hoist the flag to get Mr. 

 Macinnan on board for Avhieh was no need as Mr Macinnon had told 

 me that he would be on board in in good time to remove the ves- 

 sel to a safe anchorage, so I told the mate tliat he did not wanted hoist- 

 ing the flag as Mr Macinnon would be on board in good time, wast 

 told again by the mate that It was nothing of my Buisines and that he 

 would hoist the flag, at this Language of the mate I ordered him dis- 

 tinktly not to hoist the flag, and whyll in the act preventing him hoist- 

 ing the falg he commenced fighting me again tore my clothing and hatt 

 to pieces, and was not able with hand and feet preventing him injuring my 

 face this causally took place in presenc of most of the ships comiDauy
