Annex #5.

Memorandum delivered to the Court after the letter annexed was read.

I beg leave to call the attention of the Court to a part of my letter wherein it is mentioned that in consequence of the ship's breaking off to west by north, I directed the Master to keep a good look-out. This is a mistake which occurred in copying the letter, and which now, I beg leave to correct, as I did not know that the ship had broken off to west by north until I sent for the First Lieutenant after he was relieved, which was about 20 minutes past 8 o'clock, it being about as many minutes before eight when I gave my orders to the Master, not only to keep a good look-out himself, but to impress on the minds of all the watch, the necessity of doing the same.

(Signed) James Galloway
