Thus it continued till Friday, the morning of which was ufhcrtd in with every appearance of a heavy gale* At noon on that day, a storm of great violence arose, with thunder and ■ ligh nirg so fierce and vivid, as had rarely " it who were on board, . At this time, the captain becoming ap prehensive thaf the wand, being at North Etit, blowing very violently, andofeourfe the drift of the veifel towards thcland being verv great, he might get aftiore, set a dole tecied (orefail, in hopes of the vcffel claw ing off, Under this (he continued labouring till twenty nurtures after nine on Sunday morning, when (he upset. Nothing of tie hatches being battended down, the lea made its way through, and ru(hed by them into the hold, while the cabin was immediately filled with water by the way of the com panion. With an extraordinary prcfcnce of mind, supplied by the love of life, opera, trng upon brave and intrepid spirits, some 0. the passengers in the cabin ruflud up the companion, and some bunt their way through the (ky.light, and got into the Tea. Among the firft cf those was Miss M‘Pher fon, whom Mr. John Rutledge, by vigor ous efforts, got up the companion. About three o'clock in the morning, they were cheered by a distant light, which the manners infilled was a (hip’s light. It in creased in size—it rofefaft from the horizon, and they had soon the affiitflion to preccive that it was the morning star, instead of the light of a fiaip. At day light on Monday the gale had quite abated, and the heat he. came aimed as painful as the cold had been before. In little more than an hour after sunrise a fail was defen'ed in the S. W.

He continued by the wreck till the evening—footled the a.ter part of the quarter deck which was above water, and by great exertions in di vind, caafed force few trunks to be fayed, which helped to clothe the lurvivjng fuffor- f • ers.
