then flood to the northward with
such a continued series of cloudy
weather, that intervals of five and
fix days sometimes passed without
observations, when at length, te
our greatest astonishment, we found
ourselves to the eastward of the
Ms/dita, made the Malabar coast
in 10 degrees, lat. 600 miles east
of our longitude, as pr. account.
" The wind ftili unfavourable,
induced us to puffi a second time
for a southern passage ; —and rub
as far as 62 deg. east, (London)
but as we could not aflertain by
Azimuth more than three deg. vari
ation, we still supposed that the
current had swept us some deg. to
the east ward, under this impreffioh
after we had passed the parallel of
the north extremity erf the Laeadita
—fleered north-north-e Aft, and oh
the io<h of ynly, about midnight
got ground in 30 fathoms, then io
lat. 17. 30. under the firm assur
ance of beingbn the Malabar coast
—and hauled up north-north-weft
from Bombay. I was upon deck
until 4 2 o'clock A. M. and went
down to the Cabin for a couple of
hours rest, desiring to be called at
four—and ordered the lead to be
hove every half hour during the
interval. At a quarter before four,
I^heard the (hip strike, and before
I could get upon deck the was hard
and fart among the rocks, and to
ourfurprife and sorrow, found our
feivs on the coast of Arabia, fome-|
thing to the northward of Cape
Chancely.
" The rudder soon gave way,
we carrned out notwithstanding an
anchor, and used all possible means
fro get her off but to nb.purpofe,
soon after she bilged and filled=
we then hoisted out the boats, and
[went towards the shore, not being,
more than two miles distant.
" The Savages came down but
^appeared so anxious, to have us on
shore, that we mihrufted feme bad
intention, and did norland ; on re-
; porting this to the owners on my
[return, (two of whom were in
[the ffiip) it was concluded on, to
rate to the boats, and try the paf
^ge by Tea for Mfat, the three
Iboats taking us all with great eate :
The wind also waxfair and mode
rate and the water Smooth, the
whole crew confined of 20 white,
and 13 black men. We foiled a-
Jong shore all the next day, butat
nigh Lawbreakers that were judged
impossible to weather, and anchorec
in 12 fathoms; Before day; then
arose so heavy afwell, that we wen
obliged to lighten the boats ; and
at daybreak came on a hard ga%
of wind; with a felfo tonfufed and
dangerous, that wehad no other
alternative, but to cut and rar
athore, though at thejmminent rifl
of our lives, from the high anc

" We had just time to get a few
cloaths and provisions out ofthe
water, and ere& a tent, when the
savages came down armed, and
plundered us of every thing, ex.
cept such simple covering to each,
as appeared to them hot worth tak
ing. Notwithstanding their booty
was very,valuable, they most inhu
manly drove us off, in the most
forlorn plight.—Without provi
sions, firework, water, andhalf n^kj
ed, we fer forward on the land pas
sage for Muscat, through the most
dreary A and dismal country ever)
trodden by human footfteps.
" The barbarous treatment we
met with from the Arabs, the dread
fol precipices we had to moust and
defeend,the gloomydeferti to crofs|
the torments of bare feet/fharp
rocks and thorns, scorching lunj
hunger, thrift, and fatigue inceffantf
were such, that the strongest push

'" I arrived at Mnfcat with fivi
men, and one black, in a weak and
slickly condition. The two own
lers, Messrs. Robert Williams
and Nathaniel Seaver, with
the other whites, I much fear wifi
never more be heard of. The

ALBANY, April B.—lt is with
the greatest pleasure we can an
nounce to pur readers, that, byac
counts 'from various parts of the
country, it appears that the maple
sugar harvest has been more abun
dant this (ptiog, than for fix or sev
en years past —that the greatest ex
ertions have been madein part with
a view of gaining the bounty whk%
was contemplated to be given by
the legislature—that the new let
tiers have generally run upon {he
pl^n of graining their sugar ina
handsome manner fit for market—
ancftlthough it is foid,that the
baffle spirit of party defeated the
bounties tor the present year, yet
we flatter ourselves, that the i>ext
legj^tyre will be folly ig^
with the policy and necessity of the
measure.
