Q. Did any thing happen in conse¬ 
quence, during that day 1 
Jl. No: I lived aft; I heard noth¬ 
ing about it; Capt. Joy of the Lyra, 
was on board nearly all day. 
Q, How were you stationed during 
the night ? 
Jl* The Captain, first and second 
mates, kept no watch during that night; 
the rest of the crew were stationed in 
three watches, in charge of the third 
mate and boat-steerers. 
Q. Who had charge of die first watch 
during that night ? 
I had charge of the watch from 
7 to 10 o’clock. At 8 the Captain came' 
on deck, and had two reefs taken in the 
topsails, and at 9 went down, leaving 
me the orders for the night, to keep 
the ship by the wind, until two o’clock, 
and not to tack until the other watch 
came up ; and on tacking, a light, to be 
set for the Lyra who was in company, 
to tack also.
