Q. What was said was said loud, so as to be heard?
A. Yes; it was heard all about deck. That was the principal of our concern in going out; it was our object and our conversation.
Q. When you ran along down towards the Joseph, state what was said.
A. That was about the whole of what occurred—the men talking among themselves.
Q. When you got to the Joseph what occurred?
A. She was hailed by Captain Baker, and requested to send a boat on board.
Q. Who answered the hail?
A. I believe Captain Meyer, of the brig.
Q. Would you recognize Captain Meyer now?
A. Yes, sir.
