DISTRESSING ACCOUNT
Of the Shipwreck of theJloop Thetis,

I failed on the 16'h uit. from
New- Bedford, in the fbop Thetis,
of that place, bound to Savannah,
having on board, including both
crew and paff ngers 34 fouls. On
th 23d we experienced a violent
gale of wind from N. E. which
brought us ro under tn -fa 1, after
having feud fix hours. At about 7
o’clock P. M. we were fl ack, as
was fuppefed by a whice fquali from
N. N. W. which inftamly upf-t
u?, in latitude 34. 8. longi;ude 76,

into the Cabin, where 22 of the paf
fengers perifhed, or were wafted
from the deck as they endeavoured
to efcape our of the companion
way. The vcffcl lay upon her beam
ends upwards of 48 hour?, dunrg
• which time repeated eff r:s were
made to cut away the maft, but
without effc£l, fiie being aimoft
wholly under water, and a heavy

when two more, (Jofeph Crovel!,
and jofeph Francis) periihed with
coid and fatigue. On the thrd
day, the gale abating, and the wca-’
tber growing moderate, we cut ch*
fhroud?, and cleared away the maft
from the wreck, ani fte ncasly
righted, but was full of water. On
the fixth day after being on the
wreck, we faw a (hip, which hoift
