Twin the toeing ja Debate.)
i °Ur Paper 1 the 11th we gave an account of
he etal 'shipwreck of this vessel, almost within sight
of j alai glance), on the African,coast, which took
place. en 'the fld.July. This frigate was carrying nut
the French-Governor of Senegal, and, besides its
complement of seamen,had a number of officers and
soldiers on board. The following are some details
respecting this lamentable as well as inexplicable
affair, written by one or the actors and sufferers in
this scene of unpat alleles! horror. It w4ll be proper
to mention. that the recital commences at the mo-
ment when, the Medtise having been wrecked, it be-
came necessary to divide the crew among the beats
of the frigate, and a raft which was hastily construct-
ed of its masts and yards.
[The writer, we suppose, leaves it to the Captain
and other Marine Officers, if alive, to eeplain how
the shipwreck took place.]
" On the sth of July, 1816, the embarkation of
the crew and of the soldiers in the boats and ratt took
place without order and in the gkeatest confusion.;—
there ought to have been 60 real seamen on the raft,
and scarcely ten were put upon it. One hoindred and
forty-seven persons were oonfided to this frail machine.
The precipitation with Which it was built prevented
it from being fitted up wittirailings, because, proba-
bly, those who caused it to be constructed had no
intention of committing thedtselves to it, The raft
was about 60. feet long ; it solidly put together, it
would have been able to bear 200 men ; but we had
soon cruel proofs of its weakness. It was without
sails or masts; there were placed upon it a number
of quart measures of flour, five barrels of wine, and
two casks of water; but not a single biscuit.
" Scarcely had 50 men set foot on the raft, when
it sunk at least two feet. To facilitate the embarka-
tion of other soldiers on the raft, we were compelled
to throw into the sea all the quarts of flanr ; the wine
and water • were alone preserved; and the etitbark a.
tion was continued until we found ourselves 147 in
number. The raft had sunk at least three feet, and
so closely were we huddled together that it was im-
possible to native a single step. Fore and aft we had
the water up to our middle. At the mome.it we left
the frigate, about 201bs. of biscuit were thrown to us,
whieh fell into the sea, whence it was recovered with
difficulty, and reduced almost to a paste; we prized
it, however, in this state.
" It had been settled that all the boats of the fri.
gate were to tow us, and the officers who command-
ed them had sworn that they would never abandon
us. lam far from accusing these Gentlemen of a
breach of honour; a fatal chain of circumstances
doubtless compelled them to renounce the generous
plan which they had fs;rmed to save us or die with
us. These circutn.tan ces merit an investigation.
" The boat in which was the Governor threw to
us the first towing rope. Shouts of rive it Rol we-c
a thousand times repeated by the people on the raft,
and a small white flag was hoisted or. tl:e extretnity
of a musket barrel. The Commandant app°.irted te
the raft was a Midshipman of the first class, of the
name of Coudin.
46 If all the etforts of the boats had constantly act-
ed upon us, favoured as we were by the sea breeze,
we should have reached land in less than three day',
for the frigate was not a ticked more !bast 12 or 13
leagues from the shore : such were the calculations
of the Officers, which turned out to be correct, be-
cause on the very day of departure, the boats get
sight of land before sun-set. The first Lieutenant of
the frigate, seeing that his efforts became useless,
after having towed us alone for a few moments, cut '
the cable attached to the raft, and left us to our fats.
Several persons declared to me, that after this opera-
' don they heard the barbarous cry of ' Let us' aban-
: don them r I had this fact from several persons.
" indeed, we were not convinced tieet we were
entirely abandoned until the beats were almost out
of-sight. Our consternation was then extreme: all
the horrors of famine and thirst were then depicted
to our imaginations ; and we had also to struggle with
a treacherous element, which already covered one-
ii ill of our bodies.. An the soldiers and sailors gave
themselves up to despair. and it was with great diffi
culty that we succeeded in calming them.
it We had embarked without having taken arty
nourishment ; hunger began to make ,Iself imperi.
ously felt; a little biscuit, steeped in a little wine,
formed our first repast, and it was the best we made
tithing our abode on the ratt. Some order was esta-
blished for the distribution of our wretched pittance;
by the first day, which passed is tolerable tranquil-
lity, the biscuit was exhausted. In the night, our
hearts and our prayers, by a sentiment natural to the
unfortunate, turned towards Heaves': we invoked it
with fervour; and derived from our prayers the ad-
vantage of hoping foradeliverauce.
" We still cherished the idea, that the division of
boats would hasten to return to our assistance; night
however came without fulfilling our hopes—the wind
freshened, there was a considerable swell of the sea :
what a frightful night !
64 During this night a great number of our passen-
gers, who had not a seaman's foot, tumbled over one
another. In fine, after ten hours of the most cruel
sufferings, day arrived. What a spectacle presented
itself to our view I.Ten or twelve unfortunate crea-
tures having their lower extremities entangled in-the
interstices lett between the planks of the raft. had
'been unable to disengage themselves, and bad lost
their lives. Several others had been carried off the
raft by the violence of the us ; 'so that by
morning
we were already twenty fewer in number.
0 We deplored the loss of our unfortunate com.
pinions; but we did not at the moment anticipate
the scene that was to take place neat night. The
hope of seeing the boats again in the course of the
day supported out courage; but when it was disap-
pointed, depression followed, and from that moment
a sedkious spirit manifested itself by cries of fury.
" Night Came an; the sky was covered with thick
'clouds; the sea was still more terrible than on the
preceding night; and the men being unable to hold
fast to tae rafti. either fore or aft, crowded towards
thb centre, the Most 'ad part. Almost all these
puished who were unable to reach the centre. The
crowding of the people was such, that some were
piled by the weight of -their comrades, who were

In OW Rate they eattind. their delirium . so far it to

these madmen : that one who. was armed with 4 hat.

44 Many of the officers and some passengers joined
us for the preservation of the raft. 'rite revolted
drew their s titres, and those who had
.none armed
themselves with knives. We put ourselves in a pos-
ture of defence, and the combat commenced. One
of the rebels raised his weapon against air officer ; he
fell that moment pierced with wounds. This firm-
ness appeared for a momeni to intimidate the muti-
neers; but they closed in with one another,. and re.
tired aft to execute their plan. One of theM .feign-
ing to repose himself, had begun to cut the ropes with
a knife, when, being informed of it by a domestic,
we darted upon him: a soldier, wishing to defend
him, threatened ad officer with his knife, and aiming
a blow at him, struck only his coat, The officer,
turning about, floored his adversary. aril threw him
into the sea as well as his comrade.
" The battle soon became general the mast broke,
and, (idling upon Captain Dupont, Who remained
senseless, nearly broke his thigh. He was seized by
the soldiers, who threw him into the sea. We per-
ceived this, and wore in time to sake him s we placed

ed, sabre in hand, and many et them paid with their
lives for their m idnoss. The passengers seconded
us. After a second charge. the fury of the rebels
was subdued, and gave -place to the most marked
cowardice. The greater part threw themselves ow
their knees and aimed pardon. which was granted.
" We thought order testored, and returned to our
past in the centre of the raft. Ii was nearly mid-
night; we kept our arms. After an hour et appa-
rent tranquillity. the soldiers rose anew: they were
quite mad; but as they stilt enjayed their physical
' strength, and were besides armed, it became neces-
sary again to act on the defensive..
4( They attacked us: we charged them in turn,
and soon the raft was strewed with their carcases.—
Those of mu adversaties who had no arms endea-
voured to tear us with their teeth: many of us were
cruelly bitten; I was so myself in the legs and ou the
shoulder. * There were not more than twelve or tif-
tesn of us to resist ail those us etches. but • our union
formed our strenh-oh.
44 Day at List broke on this scene of horror. A
ereat number of these madmen had thrown them-
selves into the sea. In the twining, we found that
sixty-five men had perished in the maht, a foorth of
whom drowned themselves in despair. We had lost
only two of our party, and not a sinrle officer.

casks of water which were upon the raft. There re-

seven men in all t it become necessary to put our-
'selves on half rations. This was a now subject of
murmur at the moment of distrihut ion. Matters came
to such a pitch, that it was necessary to resort to an
extreme measure to support our wretched existence.

put in practice: I feel my pen drop from my hand :

goodness has already granted to oar repentance the
harden of a crime which was never voluntary, but
that ni the most awful necessity !
44 Tnose whom death had spared in the disastrous
night which I have just described threw themselves
ravenously on the dead bodies, with which the raft
was covered, cut them up in slices, which some even
that instant devoured. A great number of us at first
refused to-touch the horrible food ; but at last, yield-

nity., we saw in this frightful repast only deplorable.
means of prolonging existence; and I proposed, I
acknowledge it, to dry these bleeding limos, in order
to render them a little more supportable to the taste.
Some, however, had still courage enough to abstain
from it, and to them a larger quantity of wine was
granted.
64 The ((Mowing day passed without relief, Night
came, and we took some m oments of repose interrupted
by the most cruel dreams, In fine; the 4th sun since
our departure from the ship rose to shine upon our
yroe, and to shew us ten or twelve of our companions
stretched lifeless on the raft i we committed their,
bodies to the deep, reserving only one, destined to
feed us.
44 In the evening. about four eclock, a happy
event brought us some consolation. A. shoal of flying
fish got under our raft ; mid as there was an infinity
of open spaces between the plinks, the fish got en-
tangled there in numbers. We pounced. upon them,
and made a considerable capture, taking *lnuit 300.
Our first movement was to thank Goo for this un-
loolted.for benefit.
.By means of some dried gun-
powder, a flint and steel, some tinder and rags, with
the fragments of a cask, we prociired some fire, on
which we broiled the fish, and ate them with avidity,
but we'still joiond to this some of that sacrilegious
flesh which roasting rendered endurable, and_which
the °Scent and Myself touched for the first time.—
The night was fine.- and would • have been esteemed
by us fortunate. bad it not been sigaalised by a new
mitimicre. Some Spaniards. Italians, and Negroes,
wlsa had remained neutral is the first revolt,.-or had
come over to our side, formed a plot to throw us 41
jut* the sea. It was necessary to resume our arms ;
the diffieulty was to ascertain the guilty; they were
pointed out to us by some faithful Ramo. The first
signal of combat was given by a Spaniard,. who,
placid behind the mast; embraced it closely; made
the sign of the cross, and invoked the name of Goa,
brandishing at the. MOO time a long etulass. The
seamen seized and threw him into the sea : the muti-
neers ran to avenge. their comrade; they Were re-
pulsed, mad order was restored.

This law was executed on the moment, artd the two
culprits wete thrown into the Sea. Thiti there re:
tnained only 28 of us. Oat of this number 1.5 alone
appeared able to exist for some days longer ; all the

bottles of wine ; those 40 bottles of Wise were to Ili
of inestiMable value. We held a 65'110 sto put the
sick on halfrations was to (telly their death by a few
'Moments ; to leave them without provisions was to
put them toss slow death. After a long deliberation;
we resolved to throw them into the sea. This mode;
however repugnant to onr feelings; would procure to
the survivors provisions for sit; days, at the rate of
three quarts of wine * day; The resolution taken,
who was to execute it ? The habit of seeing death
ready to pounce upon us, despair, the eel tainty'of
our infallible destruction witluiiit this fatal exped*nt,
every thing, in a word, had hardened our hearts, so
as to become. insensible to every other feeling but
that of telf-preservatien.
Three seamen and a soldier took upon them-
selves this cruel execution. Vv'e averted our eyes,
and shed tears of blood over the fate of these unhappy
creatures. This sacrifice saved the fifteen who re.
•
matned ; for when the brig Argus fell in with us, we
had only one repast of wine left, and this was on the
firth day after the Gruel event whith I have just de-
scribed. The victims bad not more than 48 hours
n, live; and by keeping them on the raft, our sub.
sistence would have been gone two days before our
deliverance. After this catastrophe we threw all the
aims into the sea : they inspired us with a hoiror that
we could not conquer. We had scarcely wherewith
to spend five days on the raft ; they were the most
painful of all. Our minds were touted ; even in the
arias of sleep, onr imaginations depleted the mangled
limbs of our unfortunate comrades, and we invoked
death wick loud cries: A burning thirst, redoubled
by the rays of a .fiery sun, consumed us: it was such
that our parched lips sucked with avidity the urine,
which we endeavoured to cool in small tin vessels.—
We sought also to allay is by drinking sea-water;
but this diminished thirst only for a moment, to :an-
der it more acute the next instant. Three days passed,
in anguish inexpressible : we detpised life to such
degree that several of us were not afraid to bathe
even in sight of Cie sharks which surrounded our raft.
We were cceivinced that there remained in our cask
only about 12 or 13 b soles of wine; we began to ex-
perience an invincible dik:ust at the flesh which had
fed us hitherto.
" 071 the 17th, in tie morning, Captain Dupont,
casting his eyes towards the horizon, perceived a ship,
and annwinced it to us by a cry of joy ;. we perceived
it to be a brig, but it-was at a very great distance :
we could only distinguish the top of its masts. . The
sight of this vessel spread amongst us a joy which it
would be difficult to describe. Fears, however, soon
Mixed with our hopes; we began to perceive that our
rift, having very little elevation above the-water, it
was impossible to distinguish it at such a distance:
Vie did all we cisuld to make ourselves observed ; u e
piled up out casks, at the top cf which we fixed
nattnerchiefs of diff.aetn colon s. Unfortunately,
in spite of all these signals, the brig disappeared.
Front the delirium of joy we passed to that 4:1 dejec-
tion
and grief. For my part, I envied the fate of
those whom I had seers perish at my sides I then
proposed to trice an .abstract of our adventoret, fp
write all our lanes at the foot of it, and to fix it on
the upper part of the mast, in the hope that it might
reach Government and our lamilies.
!, Two hours after, the master gunner of the M.,
gate uttered a loud cry ; joy was depicted in his
visage: his arms were s:retched towards the sea : he
scarcely breathed, and all he could say was—' We
are saved! yonder is the brig corning towards us is
It was, in tact, net more than the third of a league
off, having all sails spread, and Manatuvring to pass
quite close to us. Tears of joy flowed from our eyes,
Every one laid hold of handkerchiefs or different
pieces of linen in order to make signals to. the brig,
*rick; was -tepidly approaching. Our joy was at
its-. height when we perceived at its mizen a large
fltg: we exclaimed--' It is to Frenchmen,
then, that we are to owe our deliverance l'--e'l'ite
Argil; had now come within two musket shots of us.
The crew, upon deck, waving their hands and hats,
announced to us the pleasure they felt in bringing
relief to their unfortunate countrymen, In a Ace.;
time we all found ourselves on board the Argils.—
Figure to youiselves fiftegen miserable creatures,
most naked, with bodies and faces scarified with the
sun'a beams, ten of whom could scarcely move, tit,'

a more hideous asp et. The rnottgenerous care and
attentions were lavished on us on board the brig ; cur
sores were dressed, and even next day several of the
sick got up, and were able to walk a few paces.
“ In closing this recital of the nnheard.Ot olds.

allowed to mention the names of those who shared
them with myself. They were Messrs. Dupont.'
