He does not moralize or try to improve the occasion, but, writing with a restrained pathos and a graphic touch, he lets the stern simple facts speak for themselves."—Athenæum."The circumstances attending the foundering are given as far as they are known, and also details of the ship and its armament, with lists, of the officers and crew who perished. The book forms an interesting souvenir of the melancholy event."—Court Journal.
