Oppofite, is the Baye des Pafcagoulas, where Ma-

 from the north, and difcharges itfelf into the fame 

 bay. Next day about ten o'clock, one of our fai- 

 lors died of a quinfey. This is the only man we 

 Joft in our tirefome and dangerous paflage. An 

 hour after we came to an anchor at Riloxi, where 

 every body was aftonifhed to fee us. I went im- 

 mediately to celebrate the Holy Mafs, to render 

 thanks to Almighty God, for having fupported us 

 amid ft fo many fatigues, and delivered us from fo 

 many dangers. 



I am, &c.
