* hy 4 ‘THE OCEAN OUTLAW. that by the time the man-of-war'’s men cime on boar, the brig presented a far differcnt appearance to what it did the night before. The wounded were all placed in their respective berths ; and, considcring their circumstances, Were quite comfort- able. Cuptain Brewster, Stephen Granger, and five of the crew were really dead; and, agreeably to custom, their bodies were placed in a hammock cloth, with a weight attached, and at noon tliey were all committed to the deep. It was a melancholy sight, to see seven men, in the prime of manhood, go to their last long home at the same time; and it impressed all who witnessed it with the truth of the saying, that when we least expect him, death is near, even at the door, As there was not enouch of the crew of the Sea Bird left to manage her, Captain Clinton sent some of his own men on board, under the command of Lieutenant Mulgrave, wlio was directed to carry the craft to Havana, and remain there until the Windsor followed him. This, Mulgrave was- quite willing to do, for two rea- sons: First, he well knew that a residence on board a man-of- war could not be pleasant to Ethel; and second, his health, which was not fully recovered when he left Ilavana, was now rapilly declining in consequence of his late rash exposure.” So he deemed it advisnble to place himself again under the care of the physician who had at- ‘tended him before. The poor health of his officer was in faét the reason that had induced Captain Clintoa to send him back with the vessel, though he disliked very much to have to send him away. : Ile saw that he would be much more likely to recover, * if entirely removed from his duties on ship-board; s> the kind-hearted commander cheerfully dispeused with his sere vices for the time being. — ) Conmiclooolks.ccoln)
