Their left Liverpool on the 9th ult and proceeded to

abled. On the morning Of the 18th, while attempting
To secure the foresa seven men fell with the mast
and the boatswain John Westwood OF Dunfermlne,
and four other men were drowned. After losing her
masts she drifted to the leeward, and had she not

that the loss of her spar is due in measure to the
slackness of her rigging.
