sail blew out of the bolt rope, when a drag was used to keep her head to the sea, until the morning of the 9th, when a sea struck her, taking stauncheons, trysail, mast, and boom and gear attached, smashing weather pumps by the deck and breaking the wheel, shifting the ballast, and heaving her on her beam ends. Immediately the foremast was cut away, but she did not right up; then the main mast was cut away, and then the lee rail came out of water. On examining the hold found three feet of water in her, and ballast shifted up to the deck. The only pump was then manned and kept constantly goirg; but the water kept steadily gaining until 5 p.m; the pump became choked, there being about 6 feet of water in the hold. Finding it impossible to keep the vessel afloat, the doat was got ready, and at 8 p. m., finding she was settling fast, the water then coming up out of the main hatch, the boat was launcied and all hands got safely into her. The boat was kept before the wind and sea during the night until morn- ing, but sighted nothing,—the boat was kept heading to the eastward as much as _ possible; and, on the night of the 11th, saw a vessel but could not come within reach of her, being ob- liged to keep her head to the sea, as it was blowing hard and a heavy sea running, and on the morning of the 12th saw a vessel under lower topsails under eur lee, but could not run for her on account of the high sea that was running.
