It was decided that an attempt thould be made to carry the news of the ship's unfortunate condition to land, and volunteers to make the dangerous trip were exiled for. Archibald Pell, first officer; William Maltesce, boatswain i James White and Alex McDonald, Bremen, and Jobs Monfrance and James Allen, seamen, stepped forward. Captain Petrie effered to go in the boat himself, but it was deemed best that he stay with the ship.

The lifeboat (24ft. long) was lowered and the six brave seamen started out to reach Acapulco, a distance of 820 miles, though the chances were,

owing to the storms that blow in that region at this time of the year, that they would never

reach land alive.

During the first four days the daring naviga. tors had fine weather and made 113 miles. Then regularly overy afternoon squalls broke over them and mountainous sear threatened every mament to engulf the best. The man, with death facing them, kept up their courage, and at 8 pm.

At 10 am, on the 29th they were safely inside, having salled 960 miles in alxteen days, making one day only twenty-one miler.

There was no English Consul of Acapulco, and the sailors were taken charge of by the American Consul, Edgue Battles, who clothed and fed them. Their bant had been supplied with food for thlity days and water for twenty- five.
