Captain Brothertbn, irt reply to questions by Mr Hesketh, said: I was suffering from neuralgia before and after my arrival in Auckland. J consultM? the doctor of the ship, who prescribed for m«. Neuralgia affeoted the right side of my, .head and face. I was affected the night before we went to sea and part, of the morning of that day. I had little sleep during the time I was in port—from Monday till Thursday—and felt the want of it. I got up at ball-past four on the morning of the 29th to shift the ship round under the oranei to get two large boilera out, and worked at that until mid-day. After that I.was,engaged running about shipping and other offices until six o'clook. I had not had a drink when the pilot left. I was asked to take-a dririk when the pilot was leaving, but refused. After the pilot left I went on the bridge, relieved the second mate, and from that time until the ship stmoklneyer -left tho =■ bridge, and am able ,to tell no more -than that some time after epealnng to the mate and passengers I fell asleep. There was no jollification with my friends on board, and except when I went to look at the chart and to write a certificate, I never left the bridge. The sole cause of my going to sleep was exhaustion. It never before .happened to me, but I have known it to occur to others. It cannot in any way, directly or indirectly, benefit me to lose this ship, and cannot in any way benefit my owners, as tar as lam able to tell. The ship was a very strong ship. She was built at a cheap rate, as iron was cheap when she was contracted for and rose afterwards. There was a disturbance with builders on this account, and they wanted more money. I believje she cost L 40,000, but the owners had been offered LIO.OOO on their bargain before she was launched, do W»t know what insurances are on the vessel, except LIO.OOO in Lloyd's. Ido not believe she is insured to her full value.

At the inquiry to-day Captain Brotherton deposed that the second officer was not with him on the bridge. Three officers and all the men were on deck, clearing up.' . ; , j ', Robert Thompson, a passenger, testified that he was on the bridge with the captain ten minutes before" the shipstruok. He also dozed off on the bridge on bis leet, holding by the iail. He was perfectly sober; so was the captain. Shipping Telegrams.
