There was at the time a north east wind and a fairly heavy rea, which is always to be expected at this time of the year, and it is also alleged that owing to heavy rains the river current was very strong. Attempts were made to get the vessel, off but without

The coolles of the ship, without 'orders, had meanwhile gone off in a bost, taking with them thres of the passengers and all, with the exception of two of the coolies, are believed to have been drowned. The rent of the passengers were safely landed and the vessel was abandoned by the officers the next: day.
