Capt. Harry Upjohn master of the s.s. Bullarra, examined by Cr. Parker, said...
...
Referring again to the search for the lost steamer, witness said that in lat. 19.11 longitude 119.25, about 27 to 37 miles from Bedout Island, one evening they saw what looked like a portion of the deck of a vessel, but it proved to be the shape of a ship outlined by an oily substance such as would rise from a sunken vessel, floating on the sea. They had taken the specimens produced in Court at this spot. An awning spar and one of the planks exhibited in court had also been discovered in close proximity. The other articles were picked up about 20 miles from there.
