Mr. McRae questioned the witness: "Well, who went off this December night?"
"Mr. Blennerhassett, sir, and the whole of the party."
"At what time of the night?"
"About one o'clock."
"Did all that came down to the island go away?"
"All but one, who was sick."
"Had they any guns?"
"Some of them had. Some of the people went a-shooting; but I do not know how many there were."
"What kind of guns; rifles or muskets?"
"I can't tell whether rifles or muskets. I saw no pistols but what belonged to Mr. Blennerhassett himself."
