D d

For

with the gravel, and latterly paffed a number of stones, on an average from fix to ten in the course of a day, several larger than a pea, and what is surprising, he felt not the least pain. His antipathy against medical gentlemen was so great, that even in his last illness he would not fuffer any to attend him. He was very partial to the drefs and company of the fair fex, but never had the pleasure of tying the hymeneal knot. When feventy years of age, his thirst for innocent and childish amufements was fuch, that he actually went to the dancing-school, where he regularly attended, and appeared highly gratified with his youthful associates. About two years ago, a fifter, who refides in London, was at the trouble of paying him a visit, and during her short stay he generously indeed allowed her milk and lodging, but for bread, and other necessaries, she was obliged to provide. When he had any money to fend to his banker in Newcastle, three of his most trufty fervants were well mounted, and armed with pistols, his principal man rode in the middle with the cafh, and the other two at proper diftances from him, in the van and rear; in this defenfive manner they marched along, the better to refift any attack that might be attempted by daring highwaymen. By the blowing up of the ship Caledonia, in the East Indies, to the great grief of his friends, Mr. Charles Heron, fon of the late R. H. Efq. and brother to the prefent W. H. Efq. It appears that the Caledonia left Balafore roads on the 18th of May, bound to Bombay, with the following paffengers on board: Mrs. Thomas, Lieut. Colonel James Paterfon, of the Bombay military establishment, Mr. Rofe, Lieutenant Kennedy, and thirty-feven men of his Majesty's 78th regiment, four women, and feveral children. On their paffage they fell in with an American ship from Prince of Wales's Island, bound to America. On Friday, the 29th ult. they had ftruck foundings, and were in about 45 fathoms running in for the land, blowing exceeding fresh, and a heavy sea, running under clofe-reefed topfails and a forefail, when about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, when Captain Thomas was aft on the poop, looking out for a double altitude of the fun, not having had an observation for fome days before, a smoke was obferved coming up the fore hatchway, and a cry of Fire. The fire buckets were immediately filled with water, and every precaution taken: but on removing the fore hasch, the flames and fmoke broke out fo

rapidly as is fuppofed to have fuffocated fome of the people, and the flames raged with fuch extreme violence as to preclude the poffibility of stopping their progress. The fhip was kept directly before the wind, with a view of preventing the fire from communicating abaft: the boats were hoifted out, and people placed in them to prevent the crew from deferting the ship, or permitting too many to get on board the boats, fo as to endanger their fafety. It was foon discovered that the fire had communicated generally in the hold, the main and after hatches having been burft open by the violence of the flames. It now became neceffary to attend to the preservation of the lives of as many of the crew as their means would admit of. Capt. Thomas, Mrs. Thomas, Lieut. Colonel Paterfon, Mr. Rofe, Mrs. Joyce, Serjeant major's wife of the Bengal artillery at Tannah, Mrs. Frafer and one child, wife of a private of the 78th, and others to the number of 53, embarked in a long-boat. In the pinnace, ten fea cunnies and lafcars quitted the ship, seven of whom were unfortunately loft on the rocks when landing. In the jolly-boat there embarked from the fhip, the gunner and fourteen lafcars, four of whom were dafhed to pieces on the furf on Malabar Point in attempting to land. The total number of fouls on board were 157, out of which only 71 were faved. We are forry to add, that Lieutenant Kennedy, of his Majesty's 78th regiment; Mr.Thompfon, the chief officer; Mr. Heron, the ad officer; Mr. Collins, the 3d officer; and Mr. Craufton, the 4th officer, were left on board the ship, and it is fuppofed must have perished. The prefervation of Lieut. Colonel Paterfon's life was truly miraculous, having jumped from the window of the quarter gallery, at the time the longboat was dropping aftern. The fituation of Mrs. Frafer may be eafier conceived than defcribed, for although fhe escaped with her own life and one child, she was under the neceffity of leaving two other helpless infants to fall victims to the flames. Immediately after the boats quitted the fhip, the mainmaft went over the fide, and foon afterwards the ship blew up abaft, having about fourteen barrels of gunpowder on board, in a few minutes after which the difappeared..
