1t was at Spithead, whore the English fse

| repairs, but keel her over until the damaged
part was over water, and repair her there
Kneeling a ship over you know is making her
lean over on one side. A gang Of men were
from the Falmouth dock yards to help the
carpenter. The larbQard guns were run out
as far as possible and the starboard guns run
in amidships, which made the chip kneel to
larboard, so that her starboard side was far
out Of water The workmen had got at the
mouth of the water pipe, when lighter laden
with rum came alongside, and all hands were
piped to clear her. Now the portsails of the
arbeard side were nearly even with the water
before the lighter came along side, and when
the men went down to take in the casks the
ship keeled more than ever besides the sea
had grown rougher since morning, washing the
water into the lower deck ports. The caIpen-
ter saw there was danger. He run to the sec
ond lieutenant, who was officer of the watch
and told him the ship must be riehted. The
lieutenant angry that the carpenter should
dare to dictate TO him, ordered him back to his
work. Growing every moment more convinc-
ed of the imminent peril of the ship, the man
went second time to the officer, warning him
that all would be lost if the vessel was not
righted instantly but he only got a vollcy of
oaths for his pains. The lieutenant, howeter.
ordered the drummer to beat his quarters
but before the drummer had time to get his
drum, the ship keeled over little and little, |
and the men began to scramble down the
latchways to put the heavy guns back IN their
proper places. Alas it was too late Al I
ready the water was rushing i'll she filled rap

George, carrying her admiral, officers, men, and
many mobiles and strangers on board, TO the I
number of a thousand soufs-down, down, to |
watery grave, so.awfully sudden, that few only
on the upper deck could save themselves. And
thus to perish, on fair day, in sight of land
surrounded by fleet of slips-al aggravated

you further swear that you will, by one
ponderous blow of your fist, planted be-
