" Under the impreffioo of the molt poig nant tegrtt, I hare the misfortune to report to you Sir, the disastrous filiation of the United Slates frigate Congress under mv . command. I failed from Newport on the 6th inlt. accompanied by the Essex frigate j <-apt. Preble, havirg under convoy, a ship and a brig, belonging to Philadelphia ; and a small ftr'p from New haven , but finding them to fad very heavily, a d two of three being m ballast o.ily, on the day fucceding that ofl/which I left Newport, I detrrmi lied on leaving them : and Vvith the Essex to make the belt of ny way, to carry into effea, the ifiltrtnSions.'with which you had been pk?fed to honor me. The firft three or four days fubftquent to leaving port, we had tin winds far nortluvaidly, the vrta'her co. 1, «rte:-ded with 'snow a: d ha 1 Oh ijslurdiy the Mih the wiud vte'cd to the f.uthwird and came 00 t blow v.ry frcfli,' attended, wirh warm mi 1, /nd a heavy sea ■ this wen!her produced an allcnilhiig t ff r a tipoh my riggi g, (which had prsvioufly been m very go: d order) it stretching so 1 •mnchi» to irduce apprehenfiatis, Jfor the f 'ctyof the malls. The weatlur being I fiich as io prtc ude the prafbcaoility of fct-' ting ft up : I caused ta kles to be got up j to futcour the malb, and the rigging to be ] 'f.vifter'oi ; but unfoi ttinauly every Hep tj-J . ien 10 fuppnvt the mads proved futile. On ' {su:itfey morr i,.g t r nth it bloWiitg hard, i and a heavy sea running, at half pa Pi fix the i mainmall fpi ung about eight feet above the ! tipper deck 1 I immediately cauftd the j mam yaid to be lowered down : (the top I gallant yard having previously been feiu down, and the top gallant marts housed) on c»nfultati'.in with the officers it was decided as affi-rding the enly probable' mean, of fa ying the mainmajt, to endeavour,to cut a way the main top-iraft, i bis was immedi ately attempted-; Mr. Bofworth my fourth lieutenant, with 4 or 5 smart aftive men, going into the top to perform that fcr- I vice ; while in its execution the mall un fortunately gave way, and in its fall involv- I ed the loss «if that active, dtferving officer ; the oilier men who w ere aloft, and engaged : in the fameferv/ce, were all happ ty saved. The fall of the main malt carried away the t nii7cn topmafl, with the head of the mizen | iriali Being under an apprehei lion that 1 •from the rctighnefs of the sea, the hull ot the fliip might be eflkntially ijured-by the a&ion of the wreck, was iixiuccd to clear it from the fiifp with all possible expedition, by which means a very small part only of rigging ahd fails attached to those masts were saved. I now turned all my attention to, and ma e use of eve y pra&icajble exertion toprcfervc the forematt ; the wind ftilVeori tinun'g * bl hard with a very heavy sea, arcl the fbip from the loss of her after malts, laying in the trough and labouring very' much half pa(t 12 she rolltd away her fore topma(t ; f on which it was dif covered t|»at the bowsprit was very ba ly sprung jalt without the gammoni. g. I im mediately caused the jib boom to ba rigge ip, and endeavoured to secure the bowsprit by (lro» g around the heel of the jib bn'.ni • at ihe save time up | tackles to the foremr (i he dto fccuic the maP (which was already fp ung) and to relieve, in feme measure the stress upon the bowsprit, caused by the fore and fore pre venter (lays. It u with reat regret lam to add that a!i my endeavours proved of 10 farther coniequence, than probably to re tard, for a very litt?,e time what eventually took piace, as at hall past P. Ivl the bow sprit g'.vf way, and at the fame inftan.t the fore ma It went f>ver the fide, us to 1 tally difmaited, arc! with the loss of the principal part of t he fails and rigging, which in cu r then fituat/or. it was not practicable Jo preserve. I'hus, : fir, we were left in ihe short space of a few hours, in a molt de pier able situation, entirely at the meicy of * winds and waves ; and thus my expecta tions of being enabled to renderimnortant services to my.fellow citizens, by affording a prote£tion to th ir commerce, were at once marr'd. I hope, fir, you will do me the justice to believe thar this misfortune (which I molt lenfijjly feel) is not attributable to any negligence on my part ; every thing prafHrahle having bten attempted t-» ward off the evil whi eh the nature of the circum s would admit."
