At 10 o’clock I went below, being 
relieved by the boat-steerer Comstock, 
to whom I passed the orders given me 
by the Captain.——(Here follows a de¬ 
tailed account of the mutiny, with which 
the reader has already been made ac¬ 
quainted*) 
Q* Bo you believe that Joseph 
Thomas had any knowledge of Com¬ 
stock’s intent to commit murder that 
night 1 
AL. I think he must have known 
something about it, according to his talk. 
Q. Do you believe that any other 
person in the ship, besides those per¬ 
sons who committed the murder, knew 
of the intention ? 
A. Thomas Lilliston knew about it, 
because he went to the cabin door with 
an axe, and a boat knife in his hand, in 
company with the murderers, but he 
did not go below. 
Q. Bid you live with them aft, after¬ 
wards ? 
i A- No; I lived in the forecastle, but 
all on board eat in the cabin*
