neglect of tie crew of le Brat Enfant.
Mr. Serj •ant Brs.A. towed the case.
Osoiel Greg son, pilot, stated he was in a gator;
not far from both vessels, when the accident happenir

that the defeniant's ship, by proccejing a little far-
ther withdut making a tack, v:.nr;rl

the injury, as the sails of the init, were not fully
trimit.ed, and she was therefore t tinder command.

Saturday a boat belonging to Hastings was upset

all of whom have left large families to lament their
untimely end. The other two were frenclimen.
