approaching the hdrbOr from the offng under
full sail, with a fresh breeze from the south.
ward and westward. As this approached the
harbor, many cOnjectures were made respect
ing her character and name. AT length she
was recognized as the Sea Bird Captain Hux-
ham, vessel which was expected from Bris,
toll in England, about that time.
The brig continued her course toward the
har5or still yawing about in a remarkable man
ner and it was about eleven O'Clock in the
forenoon, when, having entered the fair clan
mel between the Beavers Tail and Breuton's
Reef, she kept along before the wind directly
toward the town of Newport. An arrival
from abroad in those days was an event of no
little importance in which all the inhabitants
of the place were interested, and the good
people of Newport assembled on the wharves,
eager to greet their bluff townsmen, Captain
Huxham, and learn the news from abroad
The course ct the brig was still onward, but
when the people expected to see her hauled to
the wind and enter the harbor to anchor in
front OF the town, or haul alongside the wharf
to their establishment they found that no
change was made i'll her course, and no sail
taken in. The brig was evidently not ound
for Newport, but instead OF passing up Nara
gansett Bay, was running directly for tie beach
to the northw ard of the wharves!
The brig WIS hailed from the shore, but no
oil o,,t to Lor and tbnSo ~, ha
to change her course, or the vessel would be
wrecked but even this could elicit no reply.
1t was then remarked, to the CONSERVATION OF
the assembled islanders, and eagerly whispered
around that not a man could be seen on hen decks :!
Tue brig was stecred by some invisible hand,
and in a few minutes struck the shore within
halt a dozen rods of the wondering crowd
