in misfortune, and bis family Of Young
Children had sprung up TO manhood and
two OF them become midshipmen in the
navy. doubtless with the fixed pufnose Of
wiping off the stain one day from their
fathers name, The government relented
and gave Capt Bingham the command of

youthful fires were nav extingnisbed, and

seem 10 justify the gloomy forehodings
which sailors always connect with The life
OF an unfortunate or illstarred officer.
