the hearts of the crew and people were made of adamant.
He (Sutherland) is confident they might all have been
saved. When he found she was sinking he endeavoured
to take ofr his „shoea ; but would not, as they were eyle-
holes, and laced up to the allele. He managed to cast off'
his great coif, and after freeing himself from those who
were hanging to him, he jumped into the water and swaut
after the Ayr, calling on them, " by all that's good." to
pick him up. This they did not do, although be is sure
they must have heard or seen him. After swimming half
an hour lie observed a light on shore, and made for it.
Had it net been fur the assistance rendered to him by those
on land he must have perished. lie was benumbed from
head to foot, and could not stand upon his legs. He heard
John APLachlan call "port" to the pilot of the Comet,
which was done. This term means for the boat to fall to
I the starboard, which he believes was attended to. Their
crew also cried to the other boat to keep off, but no notice
was taken of this direction. Sutherland cried out, when
the concussion took pl&ce, "you have done it now," but
the worth were scarcely out of his mouth before the order
was given "to set on the engine." The Captain of the
Comet instantly ordered his engine to be set on, and the
boat to be run ashore. Five or six minutes after this she
went down. The Comet's stern-boat was put cut, but she
was instantly overloaded, and went down. Sutherland was
east away on the coast of Holland in 11417, at the time the
Albion smack, of ',Atli, bound for Hamburgh, was lost ;
and in MR he was on board the Stirling steam-boat, when
she exploded at Grangemouth.

for a stake or Plate, should not be affected, as to that Stake or
Plate. by any au rent event. •
