While the crew were manning the small boats, Capt Ingram rushed into 'his cabin for .some' valu ables which he hoped I to save He only had time however to seize a pair of trowsers, in the pockets of which were several hundred dollars and throw them to the boat, when he reached the ship's side the boat had drifted out of reach about that time the smoke shifted so as to envelop that side of the vessel and the captain ordered the crew to row the boat to the wind ward side. This they did, : but in the meantime the wind shifted again, -iihe heat and smoke forcing them to pull off without their captain.. There were three vain efforts of this kind, the boat being rowed to first one side ofthe vessel and then the other in attempts to reach the. cap tain.
