“ About three, p.m., some boats were observed coming off from the shore to their assistance; but the sea still running very high, they durst not approach the wreck. The surviving crew were so reduced in strength as to be unable to launch their own boats, which were covered with ice, and bore the appearance of marble of immense thickness. In the course of the night, however, the wind abated, and the morning of the 15th being quite calm, a number of Danes came off, and took every one from the wreck. ”
