Early on -----
Sunday morning, two convicts named
J. Porter and John Baptiste Hennot, made their escape
from the Tortoise convict ship, lying in Plymouth Sound.
They were sent on deck from below to empty the slops,
and they took the opportunity of slipping overboard from
the head, unperceived by the sentinel. As the ship was
more than a mile from the shore, the wind blowing hard,
with a heavy sea running, and no boat in sight it is
thought that they were drowned. It is almost impos-
sible that they could have landed under Staddon Heights
in such weather. They were heavily iroacd.—llyinuath
