a celebrated Actress. The principal
physician of the former town having
died without receiving the sacrament,

accustomed funeral rites. A com.

said, he understood that the captain
(who was also the owner) had un.
|skiifully navisated the ship, and had
taken the wrong course; for that In
stead Of sailing north OF the Island
he should have gone south; but
against this, it would appear for the
plaintiff, that 10 the state ofths winds

other course than that which be had
done; and also that he had used every
proper precaition, and resorted to
