One  Morning  about  the  End  of  Augt^^  there
came  three  Gallics  whereon  we  faw  Streamers,  Flags,

that  Country.  'Twas  Father  De  Pontaneyy  with  his

Cbhufe  Ceremonies  ;  and  the  Ship's  Company  went,
for  the  lall  Time,  and  paid  their  Devotions  to  the
Sepulchre  of  St.  Francis  Xavier.
