The St. Georges Chnntiele (Grenada) of the 13th
alt. has the following :—"Captre George Rose, of the
ship Home, which arrived esterday from England, reporte
having fallen in on the 11th of September, with a derelict.
Captain Bose stistee—q boarded the British ship Conway
in latitude 35.36 dap. N., longitude 19.15 degs. W., having
her fore lower mast rending, the main and mien lower •
mars lying far and aft on the port aided the main deck and
carts-deck, they Irvin gone by the partners. I found
the ship in poreadon at numb and Spanish captains and
=is of their arena, two barques, to which they be-
lying by sod reaming the plunder arrest
by their boats from 'the derelict. It is impos-
sible to describe the appearance of the nude deck
and between decks ; it fairly outstripped the early
incident' of the Crimean war—the French and Spanish
Wilms on board the Conway being dressed in women's ap-
parel 41 hi Bremer, with tad artificial flowers waving
on their heads Facefully to the Arose, while busy a
breaking open cheer, carpet bogs, knapsacks, bedding, h.c.
I found also the Preach crew taking all the small sails, they
=now, and, as the captain said, suitable for his small
Bops, canvas. compares, signals, ha., were all
gone. The ship was so completely gutted by the crews of
the barques that I bad to supply her with a compre,Na coil
of rope, and other noragaries, having intimated to the cap-
tains
.o.6that. the Conway being a British ship, it
became my a. my ,a British subject, to act for the benefit
of all and pea a stop to further plunder ; that I
did not wish to interfere with their claim upon the ship, bat
should certainly remain by and see that the ship was carried into
port. One of my boys giving the French captain rather a
hnll.deg shake, they
thought fit to take their departure. I
found five feet of water in the hold, which proceeded from
two auger-holes in the starboard lower bow-poet. I,nel
from the inside; the water from the lower hole running
constantly, but from the upper hole oily when she dipped.
I immediately planed the holes from the inside. At the
said poet we fried fear angers, one gouge, a hand-saw, a
lantern and matches. I left four bands on board for the
night, and remained by her. Next morning sent the chief
mate and six me to get spars tip and canvas set. At six
p.m. on the Weidner* parted from her, having left her .
in charge of my chief mate with five seamen, with instruc-
tions to make for the first port that wind and weather would
permit, in Erased, and upon their arrival the chief mate
was to deliver my sealed report to Lloyd's agent."

Another use has occurred on board the Clara, of London,

The pirates attempted to board forward, but the crew called
the officers, and drove them back by pelting them with cook
They had only time to deal the jib down-haul. Several
other wade have been robbed ; in short, scarcely a vessel
in port es escaped attack. A daring awe hse also bee.
discovered on board the steamer Champion, Captain Lind-
sey, from Hustandjie for Constantinople. One man shipped
for the pasrgs up, another for the passage down ; and the
