state of things on board. The Captain and most Of
his officers, except the chiefengneer seemed to be
much under the influence OF liquor as to be unfit for
duty. The Captain supposed himself sground on the
South Shoals, and that hiliOck on the beach was a
ship. He was of Highland Light about noon, and in-

in such weather, account for being ashore ON Mon
nomy beach, Why should man ashore on the sand
