bow, staving in two of her lower deck ports, and coming in contact
with the guard, the schooner losing her foremast by the collision, as
she swung clear. Capt. Griffin, after ascertaining that his ship had
sustained no material injury, hailed to enquire if they needed any
assistance; but getting no clear reply, despatched a boat in charge
of the first officer, to take off the crew, or render assistance, if
required. The boat wss Unable[to approach, on account of her
floating spars and rigging—narrowly escaping destruction from the
fall of the schooner's mainmast, which went over her side, nsnd her
