Last Monday [October 9] was brought in here by an armed Schooner in the service of this Colony, a large ship ー [William] Barron, Master,1 which she met with near Stonington. The Ship had on board 8000 bushels of wheat, which she took in at Baltimore, and cleared out from New York for Falmouth in England, but on the 10th of September, in Lat. 38, Long 65 met with a Gale of Wind, in which she was overset and lost her Main mast; after which, it is supposed she intended for Newport, but meeting with head Winds, they put into Stonington. She is owned by Christopher Champ[li]n, in Newport, and is said to be the same Vessel and Master which some months since cleared from Baltimore for Ireland, with a Load of Flour, and was taken by some of the King's Ships on this Station, and carried into Newport. She is gone, with her Cargo, to Norwich.
