Several ban ends were that morning found to have Railed under the fore chaiss.art l i under the water's Adige, and a very bad leak id the after hold.; we lay by the greater part of the day feenring the butt ends, and flopping the leak in the alter had as much as poifible. Finding it necelfary to lighten the 'hip fonward, I ordered fix of the fore mod guns on the main deck to be thrown overboard, is tons eli, iron Labia out of between decks and the fore peak, with all the iron and lumber out of the carpenter's fore room. Four pomp. were con.

Daring the whole of this day. the ihip's company were employed in thrumming a main top fail to put underber bottom, and the French prifnners kept con. Randy pumping to keep her free.

Several bad leaks were dikovered between the fore and main hatchways on.the larboard tide, the Slip leaking foie and aft on both fides through the (cams, and the bolts working in and out in many parts of the hold (one of which bad been drawn out by band by the ?defter's Mate), and the knee of the head loofe.— Got up two ftudding fails, and turned all the (hip's company to thrum aM it while the French prifoners kept the pumps conflandy going. The invalids, We, and French officers, picking ixham ; the (hip making five feet an hour, and fearcely able to keep her free. Moderate weather, pumps frequently choakiag, and one rendered almoft ufelefs. The Blip's company were now beginning to fink fall ander the fatigue of working hard from daylight to dark, for fevera dfys together, and pumping all night in bad weather with very little intermirso% and without relt, and which they could not have kept up fo long had it not been for the &Rance of the French prifoners : I therefore thought it a duty I owed the public fervice as well as to all under my command, to take tie opportunity of the only moderate day we had had for Tome time, or were likely to have dnring the pelage. to respell Captain Smell, of the Cumberland, would order a forveyon the Blip, in order to afcertain whether front her pre. fent leaky Rate, and the , great profpea df the bad weather coming on again, it was poltble, by any means in our power, to keep the (hip afloat until our arrival in England. The refult of which was, that the flip was found in Inch a dangerous Rate, as to render it impoffible for her to reach England. or any port whatever. Captain Serrell then direacd her to be detlroyed, and the boats of the two (hips began removing the invalids, prifoners, and (hip's company to the Cumberland about noon.

I quitted the Creole, having about ten feet water in her hold. as near as could be calculated, from the upper tire of water calks, walking from fide to fide in the hold, and having effeaually de firoyed her, as the flip went down in an hour after wards . • but I null it will appear, that every effort was made ufc of to keep her afloat as long as poffible. and that the was not abandoned while there was the finalist! hope left of her being able to reach any port, (the neareft there was a potfibility of finding relief at, being at die dißance of near 400 leagues) but that the lives of all on board mutt have been facrinced, had we attempted to keep the Blip in poffe(fion even one day longer.

The Gravefend mat were vied to rowing with the water in fuck a Rate. and befides this, their boat was better calculated to Rand the bobbing of the feat they foots (hoc two or three boats' length a-head. However, the Londoners perfevered and rowed down to the Lights at the Noce. They there loft fight of the Gravefend men, as they had doubled round the Lights. This was not thought much of, as it was fuppoied that the Loa dopers Would have the fuperiority higher up the river, where they would tinderfiand the different lettings of the current, and would turn into them, or into the places where the flack was known to be. according as it might be found advantageous. However. in doubling the Lights they could hardly keep their boat in 'lmage oaf, and whets they had got a little further, one of the London Watermen laid that he law clearly it was of to avail to pull any farther, and pofitively gave it in. Captain Duaawo's boat. which headed them a good deal at this time, put about to fee if all was well with them. and loon found that every thing was not right.
