EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM AN oFFtchR ON IiDARD
HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP WARRIOR, DATED PORTS-
MOUTH, SEPT. 5, 1815. •- •
" The Warrior, 74 guns, sailed from Jamaica
in coMpany withthe'lilectra gun.brig and 90 sail
of merchantmen under convoy, on the 10t1h July.
On the 9th- of August, at 4 P.. NI. near the Bank
of Newfoundland,, it .began to blow hard from the
S. E. With -very thick- Veather; at a 'quarter past
four, shipped a heavy sea, which carried. away the
lee-quarter boat, quarter deck gangway and fore-
castle bulwark, also our boats, tiVe in number,
that were -stowed on the booms a-nridship. We
then obseved a ship on the lee'-bow, obout 100
yards train us ; at this Moment we brrike our
tiller and carried away our rudder head, and so; n
4 after 'felt on board the George merchantman, -of
Liverpool, when we lay some time beating each
other to pieces. The George's masts were Car-

► fled away, .and our anchor .stove in her'side3. lu
this sinkiiiig state, the ship's company,
number, got on board of. us, including two chil-
dren she then dropped her stern; and in a few
minutes sunk, with the master, one man, -and -a
child.—To get the Warrior helore the wind, we
cut away- our inizen-mast, and hove our anchors
ovetboard, but it had 'nit the desired effect : we
then strove to throw overboaid part of our guns,
lint were unable so io do, owing to the ship be-
ing nearly on her broadside, and in some degree
water-logged. ‘Ve-theu cut away ourinain-mast,
and got a tiller shipped in the ward-room, when
She righted, which' enabled us to thyme Overboard
13 of our main-deck guns. At this tune the-wind
shifted to the S. W., and we got her •before it,
but found the lower deck ports under water, and
, 7
feet water in her 11°1117—all hands to the
pwnps,. when we soon gained on her. At this
tiine
_are gale, %melt
.had lasted for seven .hours,
began to moderate, and by two o'clock A M. on
'the. 10th; we had nearly freed the whole from
water : our bed-rooms, powder magazines, pro-
vision rooms, and alano,t evrry other place in the
interior of the.ship, got filled with Water dining
the gale, which n.'firly destroyed every thing
therein. About 40 sail of the. convoy, we under-
stand, are dismasted, and several foun.lerel during
the gale. We have spoken ships haring on board
the crews of five others.:'
