appeared that the vessel was bound from London to
Blwith flour, she being a new one, and this her
first cargo. At Dover her London crew deserted her,
and the five men now brought in joined her there, and
found she was about 220 tons, fore and-aft rigged, and
with 1660 sacks of flour (eight to • ton) and 20 tons of
local on board, the flour consigned to Baker's Flour
Mille. She put into Dover for repairs, and when she
