SEABURKING.

This is a name given to crime Of extreme
civilization; just as land burkins springs out of
science and humanity, so sea-burking takes its
origin in mutual association to prevent indvdu-
al distress. Advantage of this is taken to insure
unseaworthy vessels for greater SUN than the
value. when the owners and captain enter into
an agreement to wreck them on some dangerous
shore, the bad reputation Of which may az
"a an excuse for the loss, yet by its proximity to
succor NAV afford a refuge for the boat Of the
prepared consp,rators The wretched crew shift
Tor themselves, the majority are probably drown.
ed-that is to say murdered by this new descrip.
ton of pirates The reward Of blood.money is
received at Loyd's; it is the difference between
the value Of an unsaleable vessel and the insur-
auce money. How maov lives are to he thrown
into the debtor account of the book Of conscience,
as balance against this blood money, depends
upon chance. This horrid thirst Of gold is too
greedy to calculate lives; it is in thought guilty
of comprising the death of all, and If any are
saved it comes Of no mercy Of the blood trafiick.

this subject filed with ncredul0us horror; but
such doubt as remained is pretty we'll cleared up.
Captain Ovens surveying ships were directed to
some points of the coast OF Africa. famous for
wrecks. Itappeared, on examination. that no.
thing but the grossest Ignorance 6r the mns wick

these wret ks; and il seems to be well understood
in the navy which of the interpretations to adopt.
The fact l., these murderous wreckers have their
pet spots, their nook, ard corners Of the ocean,
TO which they retire for the perpetraton OF their
unnatural offence. ''Of the numerous wrecks
which occurred in Table Bay, and ITS vicinity,
during the term of our voyage, there was not one,

which could not be traced to extreme ignorance,
