lat. 42. 0. N. long: 10. 0 W. at night, .during a
tremendous storm, passed very near a large ship,
in great distress, which appeared to be settling.
It being moonlight, she was distinctly seen, and
a number of persons were observed on deck cry-
ing for assistance. The moment it was practica-
ble, the Dawn wore to near the distressed, but
long ere this could be effected, she was lost sight
of, and, it is feared, foundered..

The storm continued to rage with great violence,
and rendered it almost impossible' to relieve the
unfortunate 'from their miserable situation, which
could only have been attempted by •running the
Dawn alongside the wreck, and this might have
been destructive to both. Her colours were not
hoisted, consequetitly it was impossible ,to dis-
'cover to what nation she belonged.
