Salvatore (see p.988), Edward Mayne, jun. esq. of Powis Logie, in Scotland, writer in the service of the East India Company. When just about to step into the boat which was to carry him from the awful scene, he recollected that there was an unfortunate passenger confined by sickness to his cabin. He flew to rescue him from the impending destruction, and in a short time appeared with the helpless invalid on his shoulders. It was too late; the boat had put off, and in a few minutes the ship blew up. Also, Mr. Smith, a gentleman of the bar, and one of the passengers. In endeavouring to get from the ship, one of his arms was jammed between her and a boat lashed alongside, whilst the fire was raging near him, so that he was precluded from all possibility of escaping. |
