On his reaching her he found ... lascars in a wretched and apparently hopeless situation. With difficulty he got them all on board and conveyed them to Calcutta. They informed him that she was a snow of 200 tons with timber bound from Pegue to Bengal and commanded by a Dutchman. She overset in a squall and the Captain and officers abandoned her and took the only boat they had with as many men as they could carry, hoping to make landfall on the Andaman's. | | | Article Type | News Article | | | Issue Number | Vol. VIII, No. 334 | | | Issue Day | 1 | | | Issue Month | March | | | Issue Year | 1792 |
