Sunday, July Is, when she encountered heavy gales
which Increased the leak so much that all hands work
ing at the pumps could not keep free The captain
at o'clock in the afternoon bore away for the
land and with much difficulty succeeded In landing the
passengers mail bags and part of their clothing
After remaining the beach three days they were ia
