were procured :—That JEFFERY was ditchargt4
from the navy upon condition that be should as

favour ; but that he should itnmediately retire t,
his mother, at Polperro, whither this Gentlema,

he had nothing to eat while he was upon the roeht,
but a piece of the bark of a tree, which had wohtit
ashore, which ho devoured most ravenously-34
that when the American boat came fur him the,
serf was so heavy en,the shore, that it could not
approach the rocks.—and that he was obliged, es‘
hausted as he was, to throw himself off the rock
into the water, whence they took him into the
boat.
