Paul Lyman Commentary
It is not known how Captain Collins “spoke to the ship W. M. Chamberlain,” which was bound for Liverpool.
Peder Madsen
simply reported that a communication from an American ship was received and answered. He also reported the discovery of a stowaway. He was an unnamed English boy. The captain wanted to punish him, but it was discovered that he was a Church member, and a free-will offering of two pounds was made for his fare. He was not punished.
