I took cliargo of tliu sliiji at tho
nutomatio buoy at 12:30 A. iM. It van
ii fl'.tu'liglit night mid I had no doubt ns
to keeping my courso nnd gatUng in nil
right. After taking chargo of Ihn fillip
I headed her for tho bir, which I crossed
in safctv nt 112:55 A. M., nnd kept the
lend constantly going from tho timo I
took chargo of tho ship. After getting
ncross tho liar I put tho ship under slow
bell nnd so kept her until alio grounded.
After crossing tho bar I took iny courso
for tho middlo of .Sand Island, tlicro
being a bright lookout kept. Oaptam
Carroll reported Sand Island to mo nnd
I answered him nnd'said thnt it was nil
right, dipt. Carroll then said to me,
"port your helm, Doig; sho is getting too
near tho island." I nnswered nnd said, "I
don't think that shn in far enough in
over from two to lour minutes."
lVom that timo 1 sighted Sand Island
myself nnd put her helm hard over,
. and tho vessel nnswered her helm nnd
camo uji on her courso heading Ii N. E.,
nnd immediately on tho ship getting her
course bI.o brought up on tho spit with
her port bilgo nnd on her stnrboard
quarter. I hnd fivo fathoms of wntcr
by tho lead; nnd tin only reasons Hint I
can givo for tho disaster arotheso: When
I took chnrgo of tho vessel, 1 know that
it was obit tide, and thnt tho tido hnd
been ebbing for nt least ono hour nnd
thirty minutes; but had no fours as to
her not having wntcr enough, for she
was only drawing 17 feet, nnd I know
that I had water enough for that draught
at that stnga of tido; but I had not
counted on tho ebb being ho strong ns it
wns, unit with tin) ship working under
tho nlow boll tho ebb tido caught her
Blrongly upon tho starboard (piarter and
sot her down from at least ouo-qunrtcr
to otio-linlf of a milo from where 1
thought I wns on my course. When
slio brought up on tho spit, her headway
wns so slow thnt tho jar wns scarcely
noticed by tlioso on deck, and both tho
Captain nnd mysolf had every confidence
that alio would go o(T nt tho next high
water, nnd consequently felt no uneasi
ness about her, nnd nt daylight wo tried
to movo her by backing nnd filling, but
found it impossible to movo her. I don't
think it is of nny use for mo to say any
nioro in regard to tho matter as every
thing elso has been stated by Captain
Carroll.
