56
. A report given to Taaffe and retold in conversation:
The Journal of Clarissa Trant
(1925), pp. 198–9, dating from 1826. There were, inevitably, numerous subsequent versions of the sinking which already had achieved a kind of mythic significance even before it occurred. The variations are discussed in the letters of Mary, Trelawny, Captain Roberts and in Dowden,
The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley
, II, pp. 534–6. The main point of contention lies in whether the damage to the mainmasts and stern timbers was caused by manhandling during the salvage operation or by collision with a
felucca
. But Mary’s original letter to Maria Gisborne of 15 August 1822 underwrites Taaffe’s account: ‘A Fishing boat saw them go down — It was about 4 in the afternoon — they saw the boy at mast head when baffling winds struck the sails they had looked away a moment & looking again the boat was gone.’
