MISCELLANY.

SHrPwREcK. We fnd in nm English pr
per the following interesting narrative of
the wreck Of the ship Tiger, which sailed
from Liverpool in Juiy, 1886, on voyage
to Bombay, and was lost on the outward
passage:
"Ii appears that few weeks after tho
vessel sailed, the captain threw himself o.
vsrboafd in n fit Of insanity, aud the csn,-
mand dcvoyed upon the mate, in conse-
quence Of yhose incapaciiy, it is saId, the
vessel, after sailing almost mt random foe
several weeks; was eventually wrecked in
an uninhubited island, 10 degrees south Of
The line, the crew and passengers, twenty
six in number, including one lady, The wife
Of naval officer on board, all being saved.
The island, says Wrig!nson, called Astovias :
was a coral rock, aud no where could we
discover any vestige Of vegetable matter.
After hoisiing some remnant canvas from
the wreck in three dilerant paris Of the is-
land, which was about six miles long, by
three or four wide. we set out in search
Of fresh water, but, to our inexpressible nm
guisb, the search was without success. Our
thirst became intoIerabIe I; aud to appcasc
il, we were compelled to wiring of the.
heads Of seafowl, with which the Island
provideniially al oundrd, and which were
not by any means difficult to cstch,) and
drink the blood. Our food was turtle, nnd
we used TO take il by going out in small
parties of six aud seven in number. and
wsding through creek, on the banks Of
which they cougregated. Here we were in
constant danger Of our lives ffoo, the sharks

I his behavior became more naughty, inso'
lent and ntolerable, personally ill-treatins
every Master and Merchant of the vessel;
he boarded, stealing Sheep, Hogs, Poultry
&C., from the farmers round the Bay, and
cutting down their fruit and other trees, fol
fre-wood-In a word, his behavior was sc
piratical and provoking, that Englishmer
could not patiently bear it. This gave rise
to the unhappy scheme of destroying the
Gaspee, which though it has been repre-
sented by the Kings officers, as an affair
preconcerted by the inhabitants round the
Naragansett Bay, and that almostthe whole
town Of Providence were concerned in it,
say this action was done by about forty
people, in five or six Longboats, as the
Gaspee's people declared on oath the day
after she was destroyed. The enterprise
was hastily concluded on, and very secret
ly executed, SO that the authority of the
town of Providence had not the least knowl-
edge oft. The most effcctual steps were
Immediately taken by the authority in the
Colony to discover the perpetrators of this
riotous affair. A Proclamation was issued,
offering large reward to any that would
give information, so that the offenders might
be brought to justice but no witness Of
validity appearing, the brave Captain Lin
zee kidnapped Mulatto, and by promises
and threats made the villain swear to
number of falsehoods, whereby he has inn
peached some of the best characters in the
Colony; and because the civil authority
did not think the evidence sufficient to ap-
prehend them for trial, the Admiral and
other officers, in their great wrath against
the Colony, have so represented this matter
to the Ministry, that his Majesty has been
pleased to appoint special Commissioners,
for examing and sending to England as
many of the offenders as can be apprehend-
ed.
uust when the Commissioners come to
have true account of the exeitions of the
authority of the Colony, and that they now
stand ready to give every one accused, on
sufficient evidence, lawful trials, they will
give his Majesty favorable account. On
the othe other hand, when they see the gross
that have been made,
and all from lying servant, that has not
spoke word of truth, it is expected the
will do justice to the char
acters Of those gentlemen who have been
nnjusty accused" -

Gaspee, at least, is still living, viz. Colonel
Ephraim Bowen, of Pawtuxet.

By Order Of the Commissioners.
J. BRENToN,

The Commissioners frequently met, from
time to tme--and finally dissolved without
effecting the object of their appointment.
No important disclosures were made, nor
evidence obtained, against the people who
took and burned the Gaspee.
We extract the following from an anony-
nous piece published in the Providence Ca
zette of January 9th, 1878, relative to the
schooner Gaspee, &c.
shall give short history of the be-
havior of the Gaspee Schooner, from her
first arrival in this Colony, till her des,ruc-
ton on the 10th Of JuEe last, as introducto-
~ to the present alarming measures.
About the middle of March last an armed
Schooner appeared in our Bay, that board
ed, searched, and maltrentcd every vessel
she came up with, not showing any COM
mission or authority for SO doing. This
matter was represented to his Honor the
Governor of the Colony, who sent the High
Sheriff of the County of Newport on board
the Schooner, TO see who and what she was.
Lieutenant Duddingston, who commanded
her, did no, think proper to wait on the
Governor with his papers, as he was requr-
ed, and as it was his indispensable duty to
have done but sent the master Of the
Schooner, with some papers from the Com
missiouers of the Customs at Boston, i'm
poweriug them to make seizures Of any ves-
sells that should be found smuggling, &c.
Several messages passed between the Gov
er and Lieutenant Duddingston, in which
the improperly of Mr.. Duddingstou's con-
duct was pointed out; and he was even
told, by one Of his friends, what must be
the consequences Of such behavior: But
lie clustered much, and swore the whole
Colony could not get on board his vessel.
Admiral Montrgu was made acquainted
with the dispute, winch lie soon took very
improper par in. and treated the Governor
with grcs, indignity. After Mr. Duddings-
ton had yOt,d the Admirai in his cause,

MEMOIR OF RHODE-IsLAND.


This second act of violence committed in
the Colony of Rhode appears to have in
censed the Ministry. A reward of fI0O
sterling had been offered to any one who
would give evidence by which to convict
the person or persons who destroyed the
sloop Liberty and the same reward was
again offered in the case of the Gaspee, but
without effect by the Governor.
A board of Commissioners were now es-
pecially appointed to set at Newport, for
the purpose of investigating the affair, and
collecting evidence against the offenders.
The Commissioners consisted of-the Hon.
Joseph Wanton, Governor of this Colony !;
Daniel Horsmauder, Esq, Chief Justice of
New York i; Frederick Smyth, Esq. Chief
Justice of New Jersy; Peter Oliver, Esq,
Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Bay !;
and Robert Acumuty, Esq, Judge of the
Admiralty any three Of whom had power
to act.
The Commissioners met at Newport in
January 1878, and gave the following no
tice thrreof in the Newport Mercury. viz ::
Colony Of Rhode Island. &c, Newpcrt,
Jan. 6, 1873.
