The sailors on the Mistletoe were in the act
of dipping the flag in honour of the Queen

hands and In a state of dreadful suspense. !

serious that she sank in few minutes, carry

,jlred, was carried to the house of the Admiral,
at Portsmouth,. One Of the crew, who had his
arm broken, was taken to Haslar's Hospital.
