A heavy Gale and Snow Storm, the people employed as per Journal, this Gale drove the Fulton in over the Bank to where Captn Townsend found her, and as I every Day was in hopes of Learning from the Commissioners, and it was so convenient now to Ship the Cargo out of the Fulton on board any vefsel that might be sent for the Cargo, and considering that the working Horses was getting so boor that they could Scarcely travel to the West End, and I wishing to retain some little strength in them to meet a Case? of Wreck where lives and property must be attended to af pofsible, I consequently did not go to the Fulton anymore.
