Th* letter is dated from K M.S. Edinburgh, off Tripoli, and among other things it state* : " Th* accurrence happen- ed about 3.40 p.m. I was in the ward room and went on deck, but did not imagiu* for a moment that th* ship would sink. Then 1 came down again, went te the sick berth and cleared it, getting all the sick oj the upper deck, ana even a man whose aakle had been completely crushed was brought on dock, and also two sick officer*. To show you that there was no panic of any kind the two prisoners in the cells down below wets got out and both saved. Six of the invalid- ed in the sick betth wsrr also save*. That being finithed, I went to the stern part of th* ship about fifteen second* before she sank, and then saw there was BO bop*. Slie turned completely over, and whereas most of the men went over the side which was highest out ol th* water, I meditated, a* the screw was out of the water and still go- ing round on that side, aad thought it better not to. I had to m.\k* up my mind quickly, a* the ship heeled over, and I >lhl down the deck into the water on the side which went into the water first. I was not long under water, and on coming to the surface I swam as hard as I could away, and saw the ship turned upside down, with her bow going down, her utern out of water, and both screws in th* air. I then got a wreckage, held on to it, aad saw aa upturned bunt near, but there were so many people hold- ing te it. and so many swimming for her that I thought it best te keep oat of the way. Now, however, the wont hegsn, as evidently th*ship|> igiat extent. Mew up, and the wreckage as p^r-piug up every place, sad on* might easily have been dit- al'led In it. I gut into the whirlpool of water caused by the ahip going down, aad my wreckage was whirled out my hand. However I wascomparetiiely strong, and got hold of a plank, and oon after a boat from the Nile took me on board, where I helped to do a certain amount of medical work .n restoring th* apparently drowned. There is a good proportion of officers saved, and this is doe mainly. I think, to their leaving the ship last, and also keeping their head> better.
