B: T, purser, brother of | the managing owner of the steamer, | Third Engineer William Moore and a | stowaway named McKay. The bodles were being taken in a rowboat to Den- man Island.

He says Captain Yorke evidently became bewildered, for he gave many contrary orders that kept the ves- sel dodging from port to starboard before she struck. Young rested on the anchor until & receding wave laid bare the rocks. Then, s‘lnging himself outward, he drop- ped upon the rocks, made a dash for the cliff and even the white bundle of rope he carried was lost in the darkness.

Ernest Gough was the first seaman to cross the line and he found that Young was unable to fasten the rope against the rocks, had been overcome by his strug- gles to reach shore and was exhausted. With one hand bracing himself against the bare rock and the rope wrapped around his other arm Gough held up the line alone for the next half-dozen men to come up. He was frequently knocked against the rocks and lifted bodily off his feet, but he heid to the ro xe untfl his arm’ was frightfully lacerated.
