vantage Of the drunkenness Of his cap,ors to
orerpower them, having hoisted afterwards the
signal OF distress, was relieved by Spanish
guarda costa, and brough, into Almeira. Some
doubt then arose as TO whether the vessel did
not become The property of-the captain of the
suaida costa, or whether he was no, entitled

vessel should be restored TO him, and the
captain punished. The determination Of the
governor on this point is not yet known.
