Seven of the crew were in the forecastle and could not get out as the hatchways were under water and the ship on her beam ends with her tops in the water, consequently these poor fellows were obliged to cling on by their hammocks expecting any moment to be their last. This information having been communicated to the BEE Quarantine Cutter which was lying about 3/4 of a mile from the ANDROMACHE. Mr. J.M. Williams, mate of the Cutter immediately manned their boat, taking with him hatchets, axes and saws and a light, it being dark as pitch, and after half an hours search they found the ship and immediately commenced cutting through a hole, through which they got out six men alive and a poor boy who was drowned being asleep in his berth. The men said they could feel the water flowing fast on them, and that in half an hour more they must all have perished. Resolved that the silver medal be presented to Mr. Williams and that the award of three sovereigns be made to his boat's crew'' A photocopy of a family portrait of the recipient is also included with this lot.
