" Nothing particular occurred nn our voyage,
except having head-winds and had weather. until
the Bch of June, when we were surrounded with
squalls, and it came to blow a gale. On the 10th
it in ,cierateds and the wind hauled round horn
F..; F. to S.S.W. We stood on very well (al-
thrvi,;!, it began to blow again very hard), under
close-reefed top-sails, and foresail, and fore and aft
main rail reefed, trntil about half-past twelve, a. ,a.
of the 11th, being then in lit. of 40. 21. long GI.
31 ; it still blowing fresh, the vessel seemed to
carry toe wrench of a weather-helm, when I ordered
the main-sail to be hauled down, and settled
down the maintop-sail en the cap, and, all at
nn-e, I heard a reetriag in the elements like
thunder : it mired to he a water-spout. acrom-
proied by a whirlwind ; arch it was so thick and
rainy, that we could not see any thing. I called
the Mare, and told the watch to call all the hands ;
this done, I took the helm, and ordered the top-
sails to be clewed up, and to haul up the fore-sail—
but hcforr the wateh could get out, the 'nit! was
knot ked don n with the whirlwind, and the body of
water that fell into her, that our lower mast lay in
the water : she was ca low, that I thought she would
be 'rimed bottom up. The body of water from cbs
water-spout then fell into the forecastle, which sunk
b'r bows under water, and that breaking from her
vises. carried away the main-hatch, and the water
breaking into the main-hatches and companion, she
filled so quick, that it was impossible for all the pas-
sengers to get out of the cabin—and those that did
go, Nit, were obli4f 1 to break their way through
the .-ky.light, and were badly cut. Four out of
eight were drowned, as was also my apprentice boy.
The vessel was knock,_! down so quick, that every
bode on deck was thrown overboard, except myself.
I hung by the tiller-ropes (for the vessel was so
low, that it was with great difficulty I could reach
any part of h. r rigging) and carigltt by the topping-
hft, and hauled mrvif op by the other rigging,
and got on the weather-giro-wale. By that time
the rest of the people volt ~n hoard, except the tifur
passengers that were on the weather-gun-wale,
whom we relieved. We then cut away our wea-
ther rigging. By a jerk of the sea, boils the
roosts broke off by the deck, and caused the brig
to right. By this time, our decks were tinder
water, and the bales of cotton which were in,
floating out, we were apprehensive that she would
sink. I then told the people, that, to preserve
our lives, we must make use of die boat, which
was full of water ; we then, with great disficulty got
Ler clear of the deck ; b-ing under wee,, we hauled
t u- upon our lee-gun-wale, and some of the WAILS'
tall out. One of tie rumple rrovidentially pro-
crated a bucket, .se hailed her nut. The vessel
isi..king very fast, we got int. the boat, having hut
little provisions, an 1 onl,• part of a riot of sweet-
enestes, and a few hot!! .of cordials. At nine is. IN
we kit the wreck, and Jeered N.N.W. in hopes to
fall in with some vessel. There were twelve per-
. wins in our small beat, and al'. ri them without bats
to their heads or shoes to their feet. We remained
in thie perilous situation for vivo days. On the 13th,
it being calm, we descried a sad. and providentially
came up with her. She proved to he the schooner
tilancti, of Halifax, James komfrrt, master, bound
to Dominica, who treated ut very kindly. Four of
the passengers were afterwards, at their own desire,
put nu hoard of the ship Elsa Ann, from New York,
bound tn Eti ape. The Nancy arrived at Domenico
on the '.!,1 July, at which place I was very kindly
and hnmaitely treated. particularly by Messrs Bolor,
Hardy. and Co. I afterwards took passage nn
boarsi the brig William, Captain Thomson, for St.
('t,..1, where I ark:ivied* jef2d a few days stace re.
