 to the gloomy George and Bridget, even as 

 her captain had reprefented. She is thoroughly 

 clean, has a general air of neatnefs, and, if we 

 may judge from her appearance, feems likely 

 to verify the commander's report of her fail- 

 ing. She is conveniently fitted out for paf- 

 fengers, and is, exprefsly, calculated for the 

 Weft Indies, having awnings, fcuttles, port* 

 holes and all the necefTary accommodations 

 for the climate. The cabin is commodious, 

 and is fitted up with mahogany walnfcot, pier 

 glafles, chairs, fofa, &c. due regard being paid 

 to tafte and ornament. 



We have feveral guns on board, and weat' 

 the appearance of being well armed, but the 

 ftiip is not fufficiently manned to defend herfeif 

 againft a regular attack, and this is what wc 

 have moft to lament in our change from the 

 Ulyffes, for, perhaps, in moft other refpcds 

 our fituation is improved. In point of con-^ 

 venience and accommodation the Lord Shef- 

 field is far preferable to our late favorite — 

 the cabin being a neat and diftindt fitting 

 roomg and the fleeping births, feparate ftat^.
