finding the crowd of spectators immense, his clothes being 



also wet, and in great disorder, he paid a visit on board the 



Princessa frigate, where he was most poUtely received, and 



obligintily accommodated with clothes, by Lieut. Roche. 



Saturdav, October 3, Mr. Sadler arrived at Holyhead, at 



three o'clock in the afternoon, on his way to Dublin ; and 



requested Mr Fellowes (the Agent of His Majesty's packets) 



would trausmit this hasty sketch of his proceedings to his 



friends in London : 



" Holyhead, Oct. 4. 



ccSiR, — Mr. Sadler arrived here yesterday evening, and 

 shortly after embarked on board the packet for Dubhn. 

 I am happy to say, ihat notwithstanding the great fatigue 

 and anxiety he has undergone, he was in good health and 

 spirits, and intends once more making an attempt to cross 

 from Dublin, when the moon is suflficiently old to enable 

 him to see his vi'ay. The approach of night, and fearing 

 he might be involved in darkness on his nearing the coast, 

 inducecl him to descend at sea. The extraordinary circum- 

 stance of not receiving assistance from the first vessels he 

 discovered, when he first descended, is only to be accounted 

 for by the terror his appearance must have occasioned to 

 people not used, or, perhaps, not expecting such a sight: 

 one can hardly conceive it could have been from any other 

 eause, or the want of humanity in their crews. 



" Mr. Sadler will furnish you with a more detailed ac- 

 count when he has more time, and it will, no doubt, be a 

 very interesting one. 



'* 1 remain, sir, 



" Your most obedient servant, 



" J. Fellowes, 



" Agent of His Majesty's Packets."
