fur fear of being Washed • overboard. We
waited, but , witited in 'vain, for a, lull in the
sea or tempest.. :The - firSt day paSsed at our
lashings, and we , were
.Weak with hunger.— . --
The second day, and 'the gpawings of hunger
made all other sufferings insignificant in com
parison. The. thit - d day, and our thirst and
- , -
hunger-together held ins itil tortures but little
short Of the pains Of hell itself:. Death at this
time would have 'been a relief.. In the mean
time the hatches of the ship had beed .burst
open, and the 'came Was floating around us,
but none of the previsions 'Within our reach.--
The knowledgi . that our ship's hold was
full of provisions,..and.we Were starving and
unable to reach, it, only added to our'.sulfer
ings. Still,. to aggravate-Our pains, the pot
ash in the ship Was disiolVing,.and making a
lye that was eating into gin flesh. Having
no water we etteloook a, piece of cold- lead
into our mouths, and ; chewing this "kept our
mouths moist, and: it ivasfuntal to be a great,
relief. At
,this period of onr sufferings, a 'rat
was seen swimming about. :and Coming near.
enough to one of. the . sailorit,lt was captured.
Never did hunter 'secure hiS game with great

we were altelatedl'wit4 the Prospect of relief.
In this, however,.We were again 'disappointed.
This vessel, the naive of which 1 do net now'
remember, came within Ideling' distance of
I Its, and speaking the c:iptain,- I asked him to
send me a boat., The replywas, lie could do
1' nothing for ns ; and leaVing us to our :fate,
! we were compell4d to see this, vessel sail
