inquiries, he at length brought a few of the crew from
some neighbonrieg ships to the vessel, in which his
brother was swallowed up with four of the crew, the
keel of the ship only being above water. It was near

with water contained, scarcely suffieed to prolong his

out, " Captain, we must die, let us embrace." They
