After being ovit for several my wife's Japanese maid fell and severely injured herself so much that we she might not recover for a It so far had been very The engines worked The captain had decided to keep the sea behind him by taking the Palawan passage and in that way avoid the rolling of the ship When off Sarawak I think it the course was changed and the ship headed across the China Sea for The ship then rolled violently several rulling everything from the The heat was so intense after the first wife and f| hart taken up our quarters skylight that we might have fresh air and be as cool as On Victory This was the last land made he informed me a moment after the ship Monday he told we would make the Horsburgh Light about and be in Singapore at 6 o'clock in the Whether he got a sight of the sun or not that 1 do not know the day was overcast and it was generally raining most of the 1 that he did not get his sight that As to the Time of the Final I cannot state There appears to be a difference of opinion on the ship and my watch was not The third states that the ship struck nt five minutes past one the first puts it at ten minutes to one just tho ship 3truck,,niy wife and 1 both We were sleeping on the 1 noticed the ship running at half and it was probably this change in the speed which awoke covered by an awning which was down on the hut we could see under the awning on the port and my wife noticed land on the port side engineer also states having come on deck about twenty minutes to quo he saw Shortly after we the speed was changed to full and in a few minutes the ship It seemed as if she ground along her whole entire keel and then I left my wife and ran forward where I The a f ter heard tell his wife in Dutch that the ship was He then told me the same and said that lie had no idea of his and that the last position lie had obtained was Victory lie told me that in the course of the lie further stated that we could do nothing that we would stay by the ship until and then I went forward found breakers on both sides of and or what appeared to be behind the The engines were then reversed full but they had no except shaking the ship violently from stem to The boats on and port were then swung there the captain and mate seeming to pick their men there and Both the captain and mate seemed to do their work very The boats were out and left there ready for Stores were then brought up on and everything made ready for provisioning the By this the Beating Heavily on the shaking the and I thought that she was beginning to and I feared that she would capsize in deep I urged the captain and if they wished to stand by the that they that at all would be safe in case of the iship But the ii seemed to that it was best to stand by and said that there was no yet that they were aground and that there was a little water to spare the What the captain to the ship when he did do so cannot but I think it must have been through the force of the sea on the star and that the water was in the saloon and the engine room the which I have since learned from the officers of the had been on the reef now for wife packed up all her household In my it was very largely due to several trunks which were into the captain's boat that the captain later lost his The mate told me that I was to go with my wife in his The bouts were now lowered and the boats on the starboard were brought round under the shelter of the port side where the water was and were there Into the captain's boat we put liis wife and and I put there also my wife's Japanese The captain's boat had several large trunks in it and she was very There were three boats alongside the e re were The the first officer's and the boats with several men in The captain's wife and child and my wife's Japanese maid were in the captain's my wife was in the first officer's When the captain and mate were ready to I joined my wife in the jind we were then Lear the stern of The ship roiling toward my fear was that our bout would be overturned before we could get her off.
