Copy of the Report of the Marine Surveyor.
"Marine Surveyor's Office, May Bth, 1839.

"The Marine Surveyor has to report that the North-west
Light-ship's South-west Mooring, parted in the hurricane
of the 7th of January, (crept up and brought in by the" Ant,"
Anchor Flat,) has been carefully examined and measured,
and that it appears to have parted about eleven fathoms from
the vessel's bow. As both Moorings have mow been reco-
vered, and it is satisfactorily proved that each chain must have
parted at 70 feet from the vessel's bow, the Master and Crew
of the Lightship must, in justice, be fully exonerated from
the imputation of having nicked the chains, as it is evident
they parted in a place that was totally inaccessible to the
crew, even could any one have been found of sufficient hardi-
hood, and insane enough, to have ventured over a vessel's
bow in a hurricane for such a purpose.
(Signed) " WM. LORD, Marine Surveyor.
