The storm which the Jamaica Fleet encountered
was so violent, that not one of the sixty vessels, of
which it consisted,
,escaped without injury. But
notwithstanding their crippled state, they have all,
arrived except three, the Calypso, which is said to
have foundered ; the jtmo, Ross ; and the Lady
Ilfeichvorth, ER RICK. Since the year 17142, 110
Jamaica Fleet has sustained so much damage as that
which. is now arrived. The Captain of the Dale
states, that during the storm he run foul of a vesiel,
.which foundered immediately. He is ceriain it w3s
either the Caljpo, of 16 guns, or the'.7usio, but
thinks it Was the Fortner. 'Mc! %Wein. came on with
so watch violence, that' the Goliah, which had

under the water ; and which must unavoidably' have
happened, if a Sailor, with a charaderistic defiance
of danger, had 'not cut the towing rope. •
