A. Yes, sir; we had no boat sufficient to take our crew aboard of her. We had a small boat, considerably warped, and it would not float.
Q. Where at sea was the capture made of the Savannah by the Perry?
A. It was in the Atlantic Ocean.
Q. About how far from Charleston?
A. Well, about 50 miles from Charleston light-house, in about 45 fathoms of water.
Q. How far from land?
A. I suppose the nearest land was Georgetown light, about 35 or 40 miles; I should judge that from my experience and the course we were running.
Q. Were you all transferred to the Perry?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. When was that?
