The next cry I heard was " There he is, right forward off the port bow ! : ' It was Lieutenant Warren. Cap tain Arbuthnot at once threw out a Kisbey lifebuoy as the ship went past him. Another Kisbey buoy was thrown from the after bridge, and both it and the other thrown by the captain were floating within a few yards of Warren. The port lifeboat was quickly lowered, and pulled straight for Warren, who was at that time oft' the ship's port quarter. I ran up to the top of the signal house over the after-bridge, and from there watched Warren, apparently still swimming, near one of the Kisbey lifebuoys, though no doubt it was further from him than it seemed to us. I made no doubt, nor did the others standing near me, that he would Eee it and reach it; but, to our horror, we saw that he evidently could not see it and waa swimming away from it. Next moment, as I looked intently at him through his own marine glass, which he had lent me for my use on board, I realised that he was evidently exhausted. His face then turned towards the ship, and we saw that the wave 3 were washing over his head. Before the second boat could reach him we saw him sink, and he was not seen again. The ofiicer for whom Lieu teuant Warren thus sacrificed his life, Mr John P. Good, the assistant engineer of the Hermione, was appointed to the ship, as were most of her officers, when she was commissioned in January last as one of the Flying Squadron. He had been in bad health, but had lately much improved until Sunday last, when lie appeared to be de pressed. Suddenly he sprang overboard, and, as before narrated, the sentry gave the alarm and pulled the haudle which released the calcium light lifebuoy. Good, how ever, was not seen to make for the buoy, and he was probably drowned before Lieu tenant Warren had time to reach him. Mr Warren, although wearing rather heavy laced boots, kept alloat for a longer time than one would have thought possible, and, as I have said, sank from exhaustion only a few minutes before the boat must have seen and reached him.
