MacLoughlin, the surgeon in charge of the S.S.City of Chester, speaks of a young stowaway found by the stevedores in an insensible condition after a voyage of eleven days.

The man was brought on deck and revived sufficiently to be sent to St.

He gave his name as John Donnelly, aged twenty, of Dumbarton, Scotland.

On the whole voyage he had nothing to eat or drink.
