Fruit was being loaded, and pieces of timber, known as unnage, were also brought on board to place between the cases of fruit and the flooring. At 11.40 a.m., witness asked the hatchman to bring a sling of dunnage on to the ship from the wharf. Several seamen were standing on the deck with witness, and he warned them about the timber. Some men were handling a trolley of sand, and when the sling of dunnage grazed a stay, witness called, "Look out!" Two men left the trolley and stood in a safe place, but Humphrey tripped over the trolley and was struck by about seven pieces of timber... (reference)
