In this situation, exposed to the inclemency of the weather, almost without clothing, and without the slightest sustenance, they remained until the 28th, when the gale having abated, they obtained, by diving into the cabin, a ham, a cheese, and two bottles of porter. On the morning of this day they saw several sail, one of which approaching the wreck they were cheer. ed with a hope of speedy deliverance,-this hope however proved illusory, for on her coming within hail, and discovering their situation, they were told to swim off and they would be taken on board,this their exhausted condition rendering impossible he bore away, apparently with the design of leaving them; on observing which they begged him to come again alongside, and they would make the desperate attempt; he made signal he would, but stood on his course to the Eastward, inhumanly abandoning them all the horrors of starvation and death.
