Rinccoup being desirous of making some corrections in his testimony of Saturday, was re- called by the Judge Advocate. Question by Junge Apvocars.—State the con- versation that occurred between Lieut. Wilkes and yourself at New Zealand, on the subject ot dis- covery of the land on the 19th of January, 1840. A.—I cannot say that the conversation related to the discovery of land the 19th,but it certainly related tothe discovery of land previous to the 26th. Lt. Wilkes remarked to me that on the 26th he asked me the question if Thad seen land. I told him | had misunderstood his hail, and supposed he asked me if 1 wanted anything, and I answered, “ no— boa , Q.—From what do you draw your inference that land was seen on board the Vincennes on the 19th, Es pa ouaan of the appearances you saw on the jt A.—We were running on the same parallel latitude, east and west, and from the strong indica- tions of land 1 saw on the 13th and 16th, [think it freee a strong inference that land might have een discovered on the 19th by the Vincennes; moreover, pe on the 13th was near that of Bellamy, an English navigator, whose report of the discovery of land the year previous reached usafier eur arrival at New Zealand. Lam now almost posi- BY satisfied that what I saw on the 13th was and. Cross-cramined by Mr. Hamiuton, through the Judge Advocate. 4 x Q.—From the positions of the respective vessels on the 19th of January, 184), could they not each have been inthe yicimty of # contnent, if any there existed, tending eust and west, and is the fact that the Porpoise was 240 miles distant from the Peacock, and 300 from the Vincennes any evidence thatland could not be seen fro. one or Doth those ve-sels at the same time 3 ; A.—To the first part of the question 1 answer— yes. To the latter—no, Q —Were not the positions of these three vessels on the 19th the same as if they had been on the continent of America, one off Boston, another off New York, and the other off Nortolk, all parailel with the coast? A.—Yes, sir. Lieut. De Haven called by the Judge Advocat and sworn. j Jupes Apvocars.—Who was master ef the Vin- cennes in January, 18407 A.—I was, " 4 P Q.—State whether Lieut. Wilkes was in the habit pt examining the log-book curefully and fre- eat _ f Xt was sent into ery And at two o'clock. Q.—Did he ever find any fault that it was not re- eur on the log that land was discovered on the 19th? A.—No, sir—not that I recollect. Cross-examined by Mr. Hamiuron through the Judge Advocate. Q.—What portien of each day of Lieutenant Wiulkes’s time was employed in the duties of the squadron while you were master ? A.—I can’t say. He was on deck a greater por- tion of the day, and was very attentive. ‘ Q.—Was he not occupied ‘the most of the night also? A.—Yes. 3 The Jupag Apvocare then read the following ex- tract froma “Synopsis of the Cruise of the U.S. Exploring Expedition, delivered before the National Institute, (Washington,) by its Commander, Chs. Wilkes, Exq., on the 20th June, 1842.” “The discoloration of the water was soon perceived, and #ealsand penguins were seen in numbers, but no ap pearance of land, until the 15th, 16th and 17th, in longi- tude 160 deg. east, and latitude 65 deg. 30 min. south. though many doubted the existence of land, consid. fit 400 good to be true, Vincennes and Peacock, land was uscertainod positively to exist, though they were separated several miles,” Mr. Hamuvron said, as the Judge Advocate had offered an extract from the ‘‘synopsis” in evidence, the whole of it should go on the record as evi- lence. 3 The Junax Apvocate said he had no objection, he would permit it jogo for what it was worth. Lt. Cass, called sworn. Q. by the June Apvocats.— Who had the mor- ning watch of the Vincennes on the 19h January, 1810, from 8 o’clock till 12? A.—L had. Q —State whether you discovered land on that day, or whether it was supposed on |oard that land was seen on that day. : 4 A.—I did not see any: I think Lt, Alden said something about appearances of land when | re- lieved him, but my recollection is very indistinct, Tehould not have recollected it if my attention had not been recalled to it a Cay or two since. It was not supposed on board that we saw land on that is my knowledge. Q.—Have you any first saw land ? A.—I think I sawit first on the 25th or 26th, and afterwards on the 28th or 29th. What I saw on the 28th or 29th, when we certainly saw land, induced me to believe I saw iton the 25th or 26th, the ap- pearances being the eame. Mr. Hanttron objected to this course of examina- tion, as the Judge Advocate had introduced Lieut Wilkes’ “Synopsis” as evidence, which states land e Vincennes and Pea- cock, and now attempts to impeach his own evi- dence by showing that land was not seen from the was seen on the 19th from the Vincennes on the 19th. The Junge Apvocare offered the following as his reasons for introducing the Synopsis:—The objec- tion of the accused is founded in utter mistake, if he eupposes I read the portion of the Synoposis for jeut. Wilkes saw the land onthe 19th. ¢ purpose of the purpose of establishing the fact, that the Judge Advocate was this, to show that Lieut Wilkes determined to repudiate ang Yas of the dis- imself. That al- though there were some grounds to suppose that Lieut. Ringgold had seen the land on the 13th and 16th, Lieut. Wilkes assumes in the Synopsis that this cannot be so. My object was to show by his own declarations that he had much stronger grounds for supposing land had been discovered prior to the fan he had on that day, but that he would not adopt that idea because it was not discovered by him. The Counsel oe as well say that J have no eclarations of the accused to Lieut. Ringgold, upon the ground that it was brought out on the part of prosecution. I produce the he aecused, for the purpose of showing 8 intrinsic evidence that land was not covery of land by any one else than 19th, right to contradict the oposis of that 1t contai discovered on the 19th. Mr. Hamiutoy contended if the Judge Advocate selected a portion of the book as evidence in his case, the accused could select any other, and if he read an extract to prove that land was seen on the 19th, he could not bring evidence to rebut it The Cover was cleared and on opening the doors the Judge’ Advocate announced that the Court had ruled out the “Synopsis” as incompetent evidence, and the objection of the counsel was therefore over- ruled. Mr. Haatron requested that it might be noted e decision on had been putin evidence, and an extract read from it bythe Judge on the record, that he excepted to the ground that after the ‘synopsis Advocate, it could not be excluded. Ex on of Lieut, Case resumed. By Juper Avvocate—When did you first hear o the claim to the discovery of the land on the 19th? A.—It was either at Sydney, or when I read the rea but T think it was at Sydney. ‘ovetr—Were hag! not immediately employed ¢ Mh in getting out the boats on the morning of the to tow the ship off the ice? A.—I| think I was. Q.—Did you on the morning of the 19th January see any indications of land, such as Seal, Penguin, &e , and was the water discolored! paint A.—I saw a Seal, Penguin, and several varieties of Pesterel; I do not recollectabout the water, but think it was discolored. f By the Covrt—Did you ever see Penguin off ae yr a th ~~ thin! ave, i judge Advocate.

Q.—What entry did you make on the log, and did } it remain there ? A.—Iepoke to Captain Hudson, and told him J should enter it as land. In consequence of my cén- second my efforts, will please call at my Expense will not be more than is xpence ox 4 versation with him, I only entered on the log “strong appearances of land.” He ordered me to f “The Peacock, Porpoise, and Vincennes all agree to is nthe morning of the 19h January, on board the y the Judge Advevate and istinct recollection when you 16th January, 1840, whether you made a report of it, and howl: was received supposed morning of the 16th about 11 o'clock from the mast- head, with Mr. Eld.
