The sea jammed me between the two boats, and another sea took me overboard again, and, thank God, I was washed on a portion of rock close by the ship, with ten feet dry rock. I was sixteen hours on the rock, when taken off to a hut on the island. The old man and woman were very kind to me. They bathed me with hot water all night, when I came round. I remained there three days when they took to the nearest town, which was 16 miles distant. They got a doctor, but he said I said I should not live an hour. I have come to this town to see the British Consul. All my crew were thirty hours in the rigging before they were taken off. Part of the sails are saved, and all the rigging. She lost an anchor, cable, and part cargo. I am afraid I shall not get her off. She was lost off Fellings, 100 miles from Cronstadt.
