 head buried in thefand ; but by the imme- 

 diate alfiftanceof the people on fhorc, was 

 faved. As for us in the barge, we exped-

 our grapnel, or fliould rather fay kellick, 

 which we had made to ferve in the 

 room of our grapnel, hove overboard

 tion, we could fee our companions in to- 

 lerable plight afliore, eating feal, while 

 we were ftarving with hunger and cold.
