viduals had in the morning embarked in a yawl on a shooting and fishing
excursion. They remained out till a late hour, when it was found in,-
possible, from the ebbing of the tide, to bring their large boat on shore'
and they cast anchor about a hundred and fifty yards off the landing-
place. It was then after ten o'clock; the night was dark, and it rain

They had recourse, as their only means of landing, to a small flat-bot-

sons drowned are Messrs. Johnson, Hoy, and Whitely.
