intelligence that Mai. Blomberg had
embarked on board a vessel for Do.

have subsequently sunk about the time
in which the figure had appeared to
the governor and his secretary. as she

The legitimacy and the claims
OF the orphans of Blomberg
were established, and they were ad-
mitted to the enjoyment of their rights
without any controversy or dispute.
The tale was related to the late
Queen Charlotte, and so interested her
that she Immediately adopted the son
as the object of her peculiar care and
favor: He was brought to Windsor,
and educated with her elder son, af-
terward George w., of whom he was
through life the favorite, the compan.
ion. and the friend.
