found (on trial) to be extremely top-heavy, and
her timbers so much hurt by the weight of her up
per works, as to render her utterly 'unfit for fur

The Transports parted from the Whig Shepherd,
in a hard gale of wind on the Law-bite' Shoals, by'
the violence of which they have loft some of their
Cargo, particularly a large quantity of Half Joes,
and some African beef, which the Law-bites have
ever been fond of.
A great number of Ships under Convoy of the
Whig Shepherd, have in a late storm, been call
away on the L—g—vc Snoals, wliere there are
many breakers not fufficiently known; it is with
pleasure I can inform the public, that the Command
ing Officer, Public Demand is about to fend on
board the new Ship Convention, Honester Pilots,
to re-place the old ones: the New Pilots, are to
take a re-survey of the whole Coast, clear, and
open the Harbours, ered Light-houses, and place
buoys where necessary, to prevent similar acci
dents for the future.
The R , B—, I—.—, and many other rot
ten bottoms, together with mod of the Law-bites,
are to be converted into Hulks, or cut down and
and reduced into Pack-boats, to ply between the
United States, and New-Providence, Nova-Scotia,
and the Antient Caledonia.
The old Ugly Ship S te, being much worm
eaten in her bottom, is paid off, and it is hoped will
soon be broken up: her Crew however together
with the Crew of the Ship R—p—f-t-t-e, received
their whole wages, and tome of them large boun
ties; yet it was observed they went off jn'lll Hu
mour, confeious that their Impotence, Ignorance,
and Corruption, would have been difeovered, so
soon as William the Ilibernite, mould be enlarged
