and brought off about 80 OF the crew.
The next boat brought the IT passengers

In the morning searching parties had
gone out to gather in the stragglers but
they did not meet with much success an
perhaps forty or fifty still on the island

three. When the passengers and crew
were brought alongside they were so
weak they were unaibe to climb the lad

Many of them az soon as they reached the
Grocian's deck fell down, overcome with
exhaustion. Captain OAlvert said that
