mouth Town Council ; but having been submitted to
Captain Gibbs, Captain licriven, kn., the feet that a
vessel can always "rid, at winroad" at Portland, instead
of the wind and tide being so opposed as to drive her up
on her sable, as at other porta, mu inoorporated.
It was remarked that two or three ports were all
