Baked in his chase of his wife, he
determined to wreak his vengeance
upon the earl. AS the boat drew close
to his bows, by a sudden sweep of the
helm he sent his own heavier cutter
crashing fair into it. The force with
which he struck the other boat caused

the bows of Carrington's boat. There
was no loss of life, for Strathgate,
