| Is, in spite. of his. name, a Yankee, born
| In Bristol. But, alas, Reliance did not
| have a Yankee crew. There was not
| an American ON board Of her nor a
| person born in America. Its captain
| is a ScOtchman, who has taken out
| his first papers. The first, second,
| and third mates are Norwegians OF
it's crew of forty-two men, thirty.
| seven are unnaturaliZed and two natur.
allied Norwegians, two unnaturaliZed
| Swedes, and one an unnaturallZed
| Dane. Reliance therefore was

Britishers, for the Norwegians are the

have dreamed Of few years ago.
