The wind lulling a little, and being on the lee-fide of the ifland, favoured our endeavours. " People in fuch circumfances hold themfelves firil in view. Five men got on fhore, principally with their own and the relt of the crew's baggage. While the boat was gone, thofe on board howled up from the after-hold all the baggage belonging to the cabin-paffengers and the Captain, which we piled together on the quarter-deck, ready to throw into the boat, with ourfelves : on her return. Four of the paffengers got to town the night before, the weather being fine and moderate, I then remained the only paflinger on board. The boat returned in lefs than an hour for us : by this time the tide had fallen conliderably, and the lee-fide of the (hip becoming inacceffible to the boat, The had to take to the weather fide; the wind alto fpiinging up frefh and violent, with difficulty was the kept from clothing to pieces againft the !hip's fide. We had in this fituation to take to flight without delay; and in lets than four minutes !hipped ourfelves, aban doning our baggage, and unable to hand a Tingle package into the boat. " The mailer, overwhelmed with forrow for his lots, was with difficulty dragged out of the fhip, and I, in getting out, though I had not hung half a minute by the (hip's fide, was dragged by the heels into the boat by the fecond mate, who had a kilt fenfe of the danger we were in, and the neceffity of difpatch to fave our lives. In a (port time we fortunately made the fhore, upon a bar ren, uninhabited .ifland, not a houfe, habitation, or hut upon it, nor fo much (helter as would cover a eat, blowing a hurricane from the north, with heavy fhowers of hail beating upon us ' • the (hovers cea fi ng at intervals.

At length, between eight and nin' o'clock, a voice was heard from the tliore, hat led at tile happy alarm ; the cutter's boat landed, and one of the men came up, ordering us t'il board four or five at a time, we eacycd the glad fumnions, and in three trips we embarked on board the cutter at half pail nine. The Captain received us with the utmoft tendernefs and hofpitality, had good fires prepared for us, with comfortable refrefhment, and provided beds. " One of the cutter's crew had almoft 101 l his life.—The boat at one oldie landings was, by the violence of the furl, overfet, and one of the men thrown upon a rock, which could not afterwards be approached, though the beat was immediately righted ; he remained in this fituation about three quarters of an hour, wathed by the waves ; at latt a rope was thown to him, which he fattened round his body, and thereby he was dragged though the water to the boat, as a fifh out of the fea by a net.
