under bare pules, and with oil bags over the side. Out tremendous sea thai curve thundering ou board started the deck-load of timber, flooded the cabin, and hurled the boatswain against the ship s bide, with the result that lie was rather severely injured. Binnacle and compass-went, also both ends of the companion,wlnle the wheel was completely demolished, together witli the hardwood*cover over the .-crew steering gear. Having brought the ship to the wind with tackles on the rudder, Captain Nanus ana his men got the injured boatswain below, uailcd a new awning over the broken companion, and then rigged up a temporary wheel. The gale shortly afterwards moderated.
