and the sea making a clean breach over her. With
great difficulty tt ey sneceeded in getting her off the
rocks, and brought her round to Swanage Hay, at
which place the crew had previously landed in their
boat. The cause of the vessel getting on shore was
the thickness of the weather, the captain being
unable to obtain a sight of the land, and having
previously shipped a sea which washout away the
binnacle and (minima, they did not know where
they were when she struck. Had she not been gut
off that evening she would have been beat to pieces,
as the wind and waves increased in violence. The
vessel does not appear to have been much injured,
and the cargo, which is consigned to Moors. Francis,
tanners of this place, is insurtsl for CAM. The
vessel is now in the hands of the Collector of Customs
as droita of Admiralty.
