EXPLANATION OF THE ABOVE MAP.
Very little explanation is necessary in order to
make this map perfectly Ineligible to our readers
On the LIST of December 1912, the day of the exc.
cution, the Somers in latitude lid. 34m 2ss.
NJ, and longitude SD. SIM ass W. The distance
by the log from the Island of st. Thomas, was 525s
miles, which is fifty miles more than the geo.
graphical distance The distances from several OF
the other islands are stated in the map, and need not
be repeated here.
The position of the vessel, as laid down on the
map, is that which she occupied at noon the day
referred 10, when she was running before a fair
wind, at the rate of eight knots an hour and as
the execution did not take place till upwards of
hours afterwards, the brig was about eighteen miles
farther on her course, and consequently distant only
1873 miles from the Island of Antigua, and 1874 miles
from Gaudaloupe. Now, from the 2lst of Novem-
Der ill the Sd Of December, Q3 days. the Somers
ran ZOOS miles, being at The average rate of 200
miles per day. At the time Of the execution, there
fore, the brig icas one days sail from Antigua and
Guqda'oupe

period of the year, the trade winds uniformly blow
from the north east andthat the Caribbean Islands
lay directly to leeward of the Somers, we believe
