"They would die like sheep," he 1 When once the cattle get adrift, the attendants cannot go amongst them so as to give them water: it would cost them their lives, or at least terrible injuries; therefore they never now attempt it.--S.

He says that they were lying dead, one upon another, up to the ceiling--i.e., the underside of the main deck, just where the last great lurch or ' send' of the ship had thrown them. On another ship they had had, after a gale had blown itself out, to heave overboard over 200 cattle; that when the hatches were taken off, and the men w...
