increased, she was onliged to take it in aguni ; she
appeared to labour us the breeze, increased, which
made him lie-to, in (truer to assist her, if it

no other signal than by nor did he make
any signal after she hail tacked. He did not think
there was any danger at the moment, except ahe
were to keep on the same course for three or four
hours. He remembered, when he came to Eng-
land, inquiries were made of him by Mr. Graves ;
hut he did not recollect sayiug he did not appre-
hend the Lady Warren to be in any danger.

plundering wine mid other stores ; he denied the
charge, cud had only got some share. The ship
was loaded with coffee.

duced to the same effect ; the log-book of the La-
dy Warren was read, stating the.particulars of the
shipwreck.

off his shoes for the purpose of store ellectual con-
cealment, carrying them under his arm, and ran
barefooted from his pursuer; he passed across the
terrace to the rear'of the officers' houses, and ran
swiftly towards the North Mesa 'House, at the end
of the walk; at this place a ceutistel is posted, who
