• place on the morning of the'l6th of December last,
in a Most violent snow storm and hurricane, on
the Harrick Sands, near the Coast of Holland.
When the Ship struck she.was bilged, and went
over. Out of the above number, Capt. J. writes,
only 14, himself, the Assistant-Surgeon pf the 26th;
and 4 sailors, were saved, by clinging to the rigging,
• though constantly in fear Of being washed off by the
• breakers running over them,
When the morning dawned, it presented the
horrid spe&ade of their drOwned comrades' bodies
entangled with,those of their wives and children
amidst the wreck of the Maria. At length a
-Dutch Schuyt put off from the shore, and conveyed

them prisoners of war onboard 'the Brutus Dutch
-Prison Ship, with only the clothes they had on.
