[Extract]

While poor David Beverige was at Lewis his Brig came in loaded with Sugars, Molasses and Coffee. She has since run upon the Chevaux De Frise and immediately sunk in five-fathom-water, ー no part insured ー one or two river boats have struck and been sunk by them the moment they touched ー I mention this that you may give strict orders to your people to be careful in passing them with the New-Schooner ー for if She touches them She is shorely lost, with all her Cargo.
