we experienced a violent gale
of wind from the N. E. which
brought us too under a triiail,
aftci having feud (ix hours.—

upwards of 48 hours, during
which lime repealed ctloiis

with cold and fatigue.
On ihe* thud day the gale a
batmg, & the weather growing
moderate, we cut rhe shrouds,
and dcared away ihemafl fiom
the wreck, and she nearly right*

the sixth day after being on
the wreck, we saw a Ihip,
which hoifled American colors

abidance, but at fun (et (he loft
light of us, the fliip flood by us
ali the night, during which time
we could diftin&ly fee her tho’
J belie ve we were not perceived
by those on board her—about

up, and the ship 101 l light of us
and proceeded on her course.
We saw several other vefle's

ThomoS Snow, wrapped our.
selves in a iaii spread across the

ot the weather, and to the vo

around us, leeniing impatient
for their prey ; one of our
companions, having already fal.
