rocks in the Vineyard /; soon after which the
tide caused her to slew round and she backed
of the ledge, filled and went down bow fore
most, in ten fathoms water.

got out and the passengers rushed into il,
when the captain gave orders to shove her
from the brig. He then jumped overheard and
swan TO the boat, and kept her as close 10 the
brig as possible, picking up such as jumped
into the water. The whole number thus pick
ed up alive was 81.

boat to assist and succeeded in saving more
alive, who were in the water, and more from
the rigging of the sunken brig. Sixteen bo-
dies, women and l2 children, were also
picked up by the two boats, which, together
with the survivors, were put on board the
