Extract of a letter from Captain Heard, of the brig Whim. from
Demerara, addressed to 3lr. John Marshall, dated of Dover,
19th Mach:—•• With pleasure 1 have to inform you of the oval
of the Whim thus far, for I assure you, on the 28th ult. I never
expected to address you again. We had pretty fair weather iq
crossing the Trades, after which time we experienced strong gales.
On the 2fitit ult. we saw a fine launch ; it was then blowing aursag,
and she abeam of us ; before we saw bet, therefore, milldam get
close enough to make out what she was. The brig nods, of
Whitehaeen, passed us that day. On the 27th it blew very stemg
and the 2l;th it blew a most tremendous gale of wind. We scudded
all the day before the wind, under close-reefed main- lo ; sight
coming on, I thought it prudent to have-o, sal in half an hour
afterwards, dreadful to relate, a sea struck the ship fore and aft,
laid her on bar beam ends, and swept the deck clear of the beets.
water-aoks, binnacle, round-house, broke the spare main-yard on
deck, threw the spare top-mast, with the gallows, bell and helttey,
over the starboard yardarm; in fact, every thing on deck. The
crew were sated with the greatest difficulty, as we were all under
water fur some time. The chief mate and one man were washed
overboard, but regained the ship as she lay on her beam ends-
When I got my head above water I thought the ship wee stove to
tr., as all the quarter and waist-bawds wee gone. The *tar-
si& of the deck was usuler water, and die ship hag rot
righted herself to this dap: The whole of her cargo 'assent adrift.
and I fear much damage is done in the hold. The cabin and fore-
castle were filled with water, and all our dry provisions spoiled. On
the Ist last. we fell in with the John, of shielda, Lotheringtoa„ for
inimichi, who supplied us with breed, &c. ; and on the 12th.
spoke the Claremont, tiordoa, for Jamaica, who supplied or with
provisions, &e. &c. To the masters of both these veseels I ant
under great obligations, for their kind attention to us."
