On Her Beam Ends.

As the ship broached to, the cargo again shifted, and the Invercargill went over on her beam ends. Many of the sails blew adrift, and the lifeboat was swept away, Then, when the ship lay down with her lee foreyard arm dipped 6ft into the broken water, the seas worked havoc on the flooded main deck. Daylight disclosed that nearly everything had been washed overboard. All that day and the next night the ship lay like a log with her lee rail buried deep and her main deck full of water. On the morning of the 10th, when the wind dropped, cargo was jettisoned to bring the ship on an even keel, and at last she was got away on her course.
