piivate yacht, after having surmounted in most
gallant style all the impediments at the mouth
of our river, moored off the Quincunxes. Her
appearance attracted the admiration of all beholders,
not only from the brilliant effect of her rich gilding
upon her dark black hull, but for the beautiful
symmetry of her masts and rigging. This interest
was heightened by the activity and sailorship of the
seven or eight men who formed her crew, dressed in
snow-white trousers, with blue and white striped
shirts, the collars thrown loosely over their shoulders,
confined round the neck by black silk handkerchiefs.
Shortly afterwards a graceful woman, wrapped in
furs, came on the deck, and seemed to be enjoying the
glorious sight of the sun setting in its greatest splen-
dour. At the same time another yacht, but sloop.
rigged, and dressed in the united colours of England
and France, came in, and let go her anchor within a
few fathoms of the schooner. Here they remained
two days side by side. At sun rise, on the e third

able to keep so pertinaciously in her wake, that she
entered successively with her, first into all the ports
