sail from QueDeC, WIN a cargo OF
timber for Sunderland, England. We
had a crew on board of twenty-fou,
Nssp, including the captain and other
oii'>7 The first few days the, weather
Was ~h;san aaifi h rsith variable winds, followed
srom Sn,e! tTs ~ ';SSh stiff breezes, blowing
lIom 1 1ne nGehwest. All went
along pleasantly u TO the 18th, inst,
when our ship met VIII sudden souall
and sudden shift of win1. from south
west to northwest. On the 18th a ter
rife storm arose, which increased in
violence on the 18th, splitting our main
sail and causing the topsaiI sheet to
give way; we also lost our lower mizze n
topsail. The carpenter, in trying to re-
cover the lee fore braces, was very seri-
ously injured. We tried all means
to get the ship under control, but with
out avail. She was rapidly making
water, and all hands were ordered to
the pumps. The sea was washing the
decks fearfully; at 10 P. NJ, we found
the ship full Of water, and all hands
were obliged to 60 on the poop for
safety. During the night everything,
including the two hest boats we had,
were washed away Soon the star
board side Of the deck broke up, and the
forecastle and cabin, except the root,
were gone completely; we had no time
to look after saving any clothing till
too late. 1t appeared as 'ifA the ship
would soon put us under, Z On the 10th,
the weather moderated a little, but
nothing could be done; we were with
out any water to drink and with only
a small quantity of undamaged bread;
everv man was lashcd to the mizzen-
mast, SO violent was the gale even now.
About 4 A. NJ, on the 18th, we espied
a ship on our port, and we made signals
to her by burning oakum and paraftine
oil. AT daylight she wore around and
bore down on us, sent her boats along
side-and took us of. Our rescuers be-
haved very kindly towards us.

corpus for his discharge it was contended,
in opposition to motion for discharge,
firct-that the Court could not 60 be-
hind the requisition. Second-that part
of the amount collected was an Offset
