from thence on the 11th, and since that time have
bee❑ on our passage.
s, Lord Nelson, with his fleet, was blockading
Toulon ; amused now and then by one, two, or three
of the enemy's ships attempting to put to sea, who
are ver; care:ul to keep close to the land, that our
s!iips may nut cut .fr their retreat.
6, The transports we left at Malta, and higher up
the Mediterranean, were the Eis.4 and Braee Grore,

uhich were in the Black Sea, loading with naval
stores; the Ber....ick and A.'exan.hr were detached for
the island (Malta) service, and the bail,: and Chat-
ham, for the attendance on Lord Nelson's fleet ; the
Coe was empluyed in supplying the fleet with wa-
ter from the Bay of Hoses. The Thwarter, Lady
Nene SteJrt, Crania, and En!erprire, were lying at
Gibraltar,

" We have seen but few ships on our passage ,
only one ship joined us from Cadiz, and a Spanish
ship from the Western Isles; have had tine weather,

noch. She has three flush decks, three masts, is
123 feet 10 inches long, 33 feet', inches broad, 11
feet 10 inches high between decks, 12. feet 10 in-
ches deep in the hold, measures CIO tons, and is
about 1,100 tons burden. This is perhaps the lar.
gest vessel that ever was sent from any port m she
North ; and, if we take Into eonsikration the sti nog
and hhndsomemannei, in which she is built, and the
difficulty of launching on a bold and open coast, we
must allow that the highest credit is due to Mr.
Thomas Huistwick, the superintendent, for his
knowledge and ability as a ship-builder.

and who fastened himself to the cloaths of this boy,
and would have drowned him, had he not had pre-
