boat is deposited ; and, as the mode of dissipating 

 shoals and blowing up sunken vessels is now well 

 known, I trust some effort will be made, either by 

 government or a joint-stock company, to recover 

 this valuable curiosity. 



Thus terminated a race, singular for the skill 

 that was displayed under embarrassing circum- 

 stances, and wonderful as to the persons and 

 powers that were engaged in it. 



" When next these wights go forth to sail, 

 May I be there to see ! "
