gathered his men together and on a pretence of visiting the bazaar on the opposite side, without exciting the suspicions of the Malays, got out of the river in his boat by a narrow margin. They then directed their course to Muckie. The night closed down in inky blackness relieved by flashes of lightning and stunning reports of thunder. Gauging their distance from the shore as best they could, as it was impossible to hear the surf in the awful din, they reached Muckie as related. Captain Rhodes of the Palmer and the captains of the James Monroe and Governor Endicott met in council on the Governor Endicott. It was decided to throw as many of the crews of the Governor Endicott and Palmer as could be spared onto the James Monroe, as she was the largest vessel, and proceed to recover the Friendship by boarding—the other vessels to follow at a short distance. It was nearly three o'clock before they were under way, as the sails had been unbent, and proceeded toward Qualah Battoo.
