GALL4Sr-T EXPLOIT.

The Sowed, Mitchinson. of Hell, from Ileeiio- •
sand, sailed from thence on the tkieh of October.
On the :rid, the Santee/ was driven ashore on Tenni
ibland, near Arundahl, on the coast of Norway, and
totally wrecked. The crew hoisted out the smell
boat, but it was instantly dashed to pieces by the
vielence of the waves. They then hoisted out the
long boat, and under circumstances of unparalleled
danger, succeeded in reaching the shore in safety.
The Danes behaved tolerably kindly to the crew,
allowing theta a shilling a day each, and two shil-
linKs a day additional to such as were willing to
assist in preserving the cargo of the Samuel, the pima
cipal part of which they saved. The. Captain and
crew were then taken to Arundahl, and a guard
placed over them.
On the 13th December, Capt. Mitchinson, rapt.
Cnrnforth, of the brig Amt. oft ireenock, his mate
and a boy; and the mate, them men, and Ave
boys, belonging to the Samuel, were put on board
one beat, and the remainder of the Aeu'sevt'* iAto
another boat, and were ordered by the Magis-
trates to be conducted through the • Wends to
Dram, and sent from thence to KonksburK
While ashore in a mall bay that night,
Captain Mitchinson laid a plan for taking posses-
sion of the hoot, in which himself and companions
were, which was carried into effect next day.—
At the watch-word of Washington they rose upon
the Danes, eight in number, armed with muskets,
pistols, and swords, hove the fire-arms overboard,
and were in possession of the vessel in less than
ten minutes, withowt any blood being shed on either
side. At this period, the Danes in the other beat
began to fire on them, but the captured boat being
the bettersailer got outof their reach ; in consequence
of which the Danes bore away for Dram. The crew
of the other boat then made sail for Strowstadt, in
Sweden, where they arrived on the iGth, after en-
countering severe weather, and having the boat
twice filled with water. .At Stromstadt they set
the Danes at liberty, by command of the
Magistrates, giving them up the boat. Captain
Mitchinson and his companions proceeded
by land to Gottenburgh ; from whence Captain
M. his Mate, and two apprentices, came away in
the Lord &incept packet, on the id inst. and were .
lauded at Southwold on Sunday the 10th inst. Sir
Tuowia ALIELLIIID, who had been detained in his
passage through Denmark, and sent to Konksberg
prison, together with Comte La Marra, and C. C.
Aoticti.,v, Esq. came passengers in the Lord Dant-
ean.
