Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ...I suppose the universal idea would be that anything that would capsize would be, under the conditions, top-heavy. Was that all you said?--That was all my idea. 565. You do not mean to say that the view of the deck, as things lay about it, caused that impression before she careened?--There was some loose material, such as wood and things like that, knocking about. 566. Were you obliged to be on board the vessel at the time of the launch?--I was sent down from Mr. Wilson, the master rigger, to take the boat up to the quay, and get some stuff from the store to work with it at the quay here. 5t57.
