to fare them, but in their hurry, the after tackle
gave way and the boat filled, confequently the crew
were floating, which threw the (hip into the tumult
confufion ; another (hip being aimed aboard of them,
owing to the darknefs of the night, and the fhip get-
ting (tern-way, they endeavoured to flay her, but
