Q. Were all the persons you have identified here on board the Minnesota?

Q. State the facts as to transfer from ship to ship?

Q. All of you?
A. Yes, sir; all.
Q. State, as near as you can, where, at Hampton Roads, the Minnesota came?
A. She came a little to the westward of the Rip Raps; I suppose Sewall's Point was bearing a little to the west of us, 3/4 or 1/2 a mile to the west of us; I should judge west by south. I am well acquainted there. We call it 24 miles from Old Point Comfort.
