Stuckell, Master. The very handsome manner in which M. Hoi.
trel, clergyman of the village of Men, came forward on the occa-
sion, I hope will be noticed in the newspapers. 51. Hoitrel having
come to the wreck, had all the surviving crew, thirteen in number,
carried to his house, and not only have them every thing their case
required, but even gave them up has own bed and a quantity of his
clothes, and for these three days has subsisted them all in the most
noble and disinterested manner, haring refused to receive money 1
offered him for the reimbursement of the expense he has incurred
on their account ; and it is one of those acts of Christian humanity
and charity which deserve to be noticed. I leave this to your care.
as such actions cannot be made too public."
