44'^ NAMES OF THE CREW. 



Price, who was drowned by the smallest of the cut- 

 ters swamping at the time she was lowered. 



The passengers on board at the time the vessel 

 was wrecked, were Captain D'Oyly of the Bengal 

 Artillery, his wife, and two sons, George and 

 William ; an English gentleman named Armstrong; 

 and a Bengalese native servant. 



The ship's crew consisted of twenty-four persons : 

 J. G. Moore, master ; J. Clare, chief mate ; W. 

 Mayer, second mate ; G. Pigott, third mate ; J. 

 Grant, surgeon ; L. Constantino, carpenter ; W. 

 Montgomery, steward ; W. Perry, J. P. Ching, 

 midshipmen ; R. Quin, A. Quail, W. Moore, C. 

 Robinson, J. Caen, W. Hill, J. Berry, R. Lounce, 

 W. Jeffrey, J. Wright, W. Gumble, J. Miller, and 

 W. Williams, seamen; J. Ireland and J. Sexton, boys. 



The five seamen in the cutter, not seeing any 

 possibility of saving more of the ship's company, 

 and the next morning not perceiving a single person 

 on the wreck, concluded that these unhappy persons 

 had been washed off by the increasing swell of the 

 sea during the night. On Sunday morning, August 

 17th, they left the wreck, and steered as westerly a 

 course as possible by the sun and stars — they had 

 no compass — in order to reach the Dutch settle- 

 ment of Coupang in the island of Timor. The 

 whole of their provisions consisted of 30 lbs. of 

 bread, one ham, and a keg containing about four 

 gallons of water ; which had been placed in the boat 

 before she was lowered.
