the best feamen that could be collected, and as numerous as the eftablithment admits; to whom were added a confiderable body of foldiers, deftined to recruit the forces of the company in Afia.

"The refpectable paffengers were: Mifs Eliza Pierce, Mifs Mary Anne Pierce, daughters of the commander; Mifs Amy Paul, Mifs Mary Paul, daughters of Mr. Paul of So merfetfhire, and relations to captain Pierce; Mifs Elizabeth Blackburne, daughter of captain Blackburne, of the fame fervice; Mits Mary Haggard, fifter to an officer on the Madras ettablishment; and Miss Anne Manfell a native of Madras, but of European parents, returning from receiving her education in England; John George Schutz, efq. returning to Afia, where he had long refided, to collect a part of his fortune which he had left there.

"Monday the 2d of January, at three in the afternoon, a breeze fprung up from the fouth, when they ran in thore to land the pilot, but very thick weather coming on in the evening, and the wind baffling, at nine in the evening they were obliged to anchor in eighteen fathom water, furled their top-fails, but could not furl their courses, the fnow falling thick, and freezing as it fell.
