586 APPENDIX. 
30th. July 1887 as told by J. A. Harvir Brown, and seen by 
him, and written in his Journals of that date’. 
“At 10” to 15” to 10 am. I was called quickly on deck by 
Cowell, and I went up from breakfast. “What is that’? said 
Cowell. After some time I saw between me and the shore to the 
E., which shore was about one mile distant, undulations upon al- 
most calm water (The ship was moving at the rate of about half 
a knot an hour) being similar in appearance, and having the mo- 
tions of the (described and supposed) Sea-Serpent. I counted with 
the binoculars twelve or perhaps thirteen humps at almost perfectly — 
regular distances the one from the others. ‘The first of these humps 
appeared to be moving rapidly through the water across the line 
of vision, and to be breaking and spraying water, and the other 
eleven or twelve (I had only time to count them once) maintained 
all their relative positions with one another and collectively with 
the first, ye¢ did not appear in themselves to me to move, though 
slight ripples of water were visible, nearly throughout the whole 
length. The whole disappeared and reappeared at least four times 
to me, apparently simultaneously or almost so throughout its length. 
When last it was seen, it was moving on a course almost parallel 
with the shore, which shore runs N. E. or thereby. The distance 
from the ship at which time I first saw it, and from that time 
to its final disappearance was estimated by me at about half a 
mile by eye (but this may have been an over-estimate of distance)”. 
“John Campbell, seaman, and mate on board the yacht, stand- 
ing at the helm, deposes in a seperate document — drawn up and 
written by R. L. Cowell, Steward, from his oral statement — 
which seperate statement, was at once closed, without being read 
by either Dr. Heddle or myself, and still remains so”. 
“R. L. Cowell, Steward, who was on deck at the same time as 
John Campbell (having laid and served our breakfast) deposes in 
similar manner in a seperate statement, also closed and not read 
by Dr. Heddle and myself’. 
“But John Campbell on being examined by us deposes on cross-— 
examination that: — While we were at breakfast in the Saloon, 
he saw approaching from the direction of Corrie Chreachan a series 
of large undulations which passed “within 40 yards” then “within 
30 yards” and again “within the length of the ship” (which 1s 56 
feet) from the stern of the vessel, and travelling at a great pace; 
that he saw nothing above the surface of the water except broken 
water in front of the first or foremost undulation. That except —
