Tie Advertiser, of May 9Th relates the follow
i ing We were somewhat surprised at the arrival
on Tuesday of the whaling bark " Cynthia, owned
by James /. Dowsett, minus her captain. Il ap-
pears that Capt. Sherman had the misfortune total
in love with one Of the fair daughters of Mexico
misfortune all the more to be wondered at, he
had twice before met the same accident leaving
4 the trdtse here to lament his untoward conduct
and another damse in the United States to whom
he was lawfully welded. In other words. the fair
descendant of the Aztecs is his third wife, and be-
inc no doubt q Jewel OF a woman, the captain pre-
ferred shore life to ship work. Bills on Honolulu
not being current in Mazatlan, he was obliged, in
order to raise the needful, to sell OIL some eighty
or ninety barrels finding ready market. Besides
which, anchors, chains, boats etc., TO the value Oh
$1,000, went the same way.
The first officer, Mfr. Edward Lowe, being a man
of honor, and thinking the owner had right to
some Of his property, planned to get the vessel to
sea before she too might be sold. So he proposed
and cruise off ting coast for sperm whales, to re-
turn in twenty days, which would give ample time
TO close the bargain for a sale Of the cargo and
ship. The Captain took ashore the ships register,
n ana the mate, furnished with o clearance, put to
sea and squared of for Honolulu leaving the Cap
tain to enjoy the fandango with his Mexican girl.
Mr.. Dowsett considers himself very lucky; Tor, as
thc case has turned out, he will not lose over
two thousand dollars by the Captains breach OF
i, trust.
