"On the morning of the } I 211. it.t.w.,rL:ng •?i, to the
Northward of the Teed, and tiat..fing in t.ir Seliel-
ling Ifland, on the Dutch coda, (having two pilots on
board) at eight A. M. founded in fourteen whom.
Rood on ti'l half palt eight, when we law Schelling
Light Houfe, about E.S.E. (even miles unchut our lee,
which was (hewn to the pilots, who were both tin deck.
and who were exhorted by Cap:. Muse not to (land
into any danger, they at the fame time affuritig him
there was none. At forty minutes poet eight the Blip
(truck, when the helm was immediately put a lee, tie
pilots laying it was impollible, and that the did not
touch the ground; the (hip came round head to wind,
and immediately fell round with her head tothe (bore;
every effort was made to get her off, being near high
water, but to no purpofe, the tide left us. Two neu-
tral veffels, (landing along-(borer the Mailer was fent
to luting them to our Alliance, for the purpofe of car-
rying out bait felts and anchors ready for the next high
water. The lower yards and (pare top-malts were
got over the fide to lhore her tip ; on the falling tide
the water was (tarred, and every poflibl.t endeavour
'lied to lighten her t—hawfers and fire.im cable were
run out to the veffels, and Love " mut." which
kept her bow to the fwell, and every hope was
entertained of getting her afloat on the tiling tide.
Mania four o'clock in the afternoononade a t aft with
the launch and w iter calks to carry nut a bower
anchor ; at this time the wind had (hilted from N.E.
to N. W. and blew thong, which forced in a heavy
fea over the fond, arid rendered it utterly inarolfildo
to carry out a bower anchor. In the midst of this
dillrefs our attention was called to threeDittch brigsof
war, and a number of gun-boats, full of men, working
towards us, which hal corn: out of the Fly Pottage ;
we prepared to receive them as well as our miferable
fituation would admit, but the tide of flood making,
(topped their nearer approach (when they were about
two miles from us) till the next tide; being therefare
releafed from any apprehenfions during the flood, our
exertions were again employed in endeavouring to
lave the (hip. By this time the flood had made two
hours; we hove on our hawfcrs and fiream cable, one
of which broke ; and we hove the other veirel home.
The wind by this time had increased, and brought a
very heavy fea, which, as the (hip floated, made her
motion violent, and it became dangerous to Rand on
deck, as we expetleti the mails to come down every
(hock, and therefore we could do no more than wait
for the tors of high water, and make our 1111 effort
with the Rream cable, which was yet fall. This could
not be done till eleven o'clock'; about ten the fea had
increafed, and broke violently over the land ; the
rudder was unhung, and the Item poll worked much.
At eleven o'clock the cock-pit deck was under water,
although a few minutes before we had pumped the
(hip dry ; in five minutes the was full of water fore
and aft up to the cable tiers; the then became perfeft•
ly with an inclination to one fide. All hopes of
laving the Chip being now at an end, our lives became
the next confideration (clothes were out of the quef-
tion). It was now twelve o'clock ; the night was
dark ; we had 270 men and (even women to get
through a heavy breaking lea, which run between us
and die verels that were to receive us. This held
out but a faint profpett that all would he faved ; but
by that coolnets and pretence of mind which dillin-
guillied Captain MiLaa, be made the neeetary ar-
rangements, and with the great exertions of the Of.
ficers, and orderly condna of the men, by three •
o'clock in the morning every perfon was fate on
board the two weals, except the Captain, Firli Lieu=
tenant. and Maier, who left her thortly after. and
got Cafe on board the neareft vette', when both got
under way. Day light now coming in exhibited a
miferable fcene ; Officeri and men worn out with
fatigue, wet, and cold. without a rag to (hilt thefts-
hives ; the (hip full of water clots to us, where we
but a few hours before were all fo happy; the ene-
my's veffels and gun boats nearing us, and we with-
out means of defence. It was judged neceffary, in
order to prevent any part of the guns or Rotes front
falling into the enemy's hands, to let the wreck on
fire ; therefore, at half pat three. a boat was tent
with Mr. MOOR., to put an order to this effett in .
execution, which was promptly effected ; and by four
o'clock the (hip was completely in flames, and by ten
entirely confumed, in the face of the enemy's brigs ,
and gun-boats, leaving nothing that they could pot-
fibly profit br. ,Thus was one of the fine( frigates
in his Majetly's fervice deßroyed by the ignorance of
pilots; our lots is great, being amply fitted out its
expedation of our going on foreign fervice. Our cafe.
however, will probably be taken into coofiieratine
by the gallant and dißinguithed Nobleman who Co
ably preftdes over the Naval Department. An Officer
in the Army, when he is unfortunate to lofe his bag.
gage, is allowed for it, but this has not hitherto been
the cafe with refperft to the Navy.
