on his mind that the vessel went down with
all on board; the Margaret. which he was for
tunate enough ia gaining. after receiving very
serious hodity injury while embarking 10 the
boat, came 10 the spot where the James ought
10 have been in m hour or two after he had
left her, and she had then disappeared. From
the candition ia WHICH she was left, there can
be little Doubt ON his mind, that she must have
foundered with all on board, or, at least. by (
far the greater number. Some chance Of a !
portion being saved in the boats may exist
but AZ the Margaret had light out, they very |
probably would have been enabled to have
boarded her. No list Of the passengers had I
been saved. the Captains having been LETT on
