letter from Mr. Gabriel, R.N., dated " Dundrum, Sun-

away ; the sea made a clean breach over her, and swept
away several skylights on deck ; the ship filled with
water to such an extent that the cabin doors and bulk-
heads are nearly all washed into the holds and about
the decks ; the promenade deck was covered with water;

board had to fly to the upper deck, and there wait till
is correct,
