<HEAD>A
LETTER
FROM
SCOTLAND.
GIVING A
True Relation of the unhappy Lo&s;s
OF THE
Glouce&s;ter-Frigot,
Whereof Sir <HI>John Berry</HI> was Commander.
With a particular Account of the Per&s;ons of Quality
drowned therein, and the miraculous E&s;cape of His
Royal Higne&s;s the Duke of <HI>York.</HI></HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>I Shall give you an Account from hence, as I received it
from a faithful Hand, of the lo&s;s of the <HI>Glouce&s;ter</HI> Frigot,
which was thus:</P>
<P>Sir <HI>John Berry</HI> Commander of the <HI>Glouce&s;ter</HI> Frigot, ha|ving
received on Board the &s;aid Ship His Royal Highne&s;s in <HI>Margaret</HI>
Road, in order to his Voyage for <HI>Scotland,</HI> &s;et Sail from thence
with a fair Wind, the Weather continuing very Fair, attended by
the <HI>Ruby, Happy Return,</HI> the <HI>Dartmouth,</HI> and <HI>Pearl</HI> Frigots, with
&s;everal Yatches, and &s;everal Per&s;ons of great Quality, both of <HI>Eng|land</HI>
and <HI>Scotland,</HI> attending His Royal Highne&s;s on the Seventh In|&s;tant:
At Night they came about 16 Leagues off the Mouth of the
<HI>Humber,</HI> about which place lies a Sand called the <HI>Lemon-Oar,</HI> and
whether by the unskilfulne&s;s, or wretched neglect of the Pilot,
God knows the afore&s;aid Ship in which His Royal Highne&s;s was,
and many other Per&s;ons of Quality, run on Ground upon the &s;aid
Sands, about Ten of the Clock at Night; but it plea&s;ing God that
the Weather proving Fair and not Stormy, that the Ship did
not pre&s;ently Bur&s;t, nor did not immediately Sink, but lay &s;ome
hours e're She Sank; &s;o that the Duke, and &s;ome others, as ma|ny
as the Long Boat could hold, had time to e&s;cape the Danger
<PB REF="2" MS="y">
and ventur'd to Sea, and got &s;afe aboard on one of the Yatches,
but for the re&s;t remaining on board, the Ship foundring before a|ny
Boats could come to their A&s;&s;i&s;tance, all peri&s;hed, among
whom was the Lord <HI>Roxborow,</HI> the Lord <HI>O Bryan,</HI> the Lord <HI>Hol|lis,</HI>
Lord <HI>Hume,</HI> Lord <HI>Dowgla&s;s,</HI> Sir <HI>Chri&s;topher Mu&s;grave,</HI> Sir
<HI>James Hyde,</HI> Mr. <HI>Clifton,</HI> and an <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Lady, who&s;e name we
cannot as yet learn; all the Dukes Cooks but one, all his Footmen,
and all the re&s;t of his Servants, Sir <HI>Charles Scarborow</HI> was miracu|lou&s;ly
&s;aved (as we &s;uppo&s;e) on &s;ome piece of the Ship. The Cap|tain,
Sir <HI>John Berry,</HI> was al&s;o lo&s;t with his Brother, Captain <HI>Berry,</HI>
and &s;everal others who accompanied him: There was in all to the
number of three hundred and three Per&s;ons, and odd, of which but
&s;ixty were &s;aved. The Duke is &s;ince &s;afely here to the Joy of his
Dutche&s;s, and others who have been to Congratulate his E&s;cape
from &s;o great Danger: His Royal Highne&s;s is very &s;en&s;ible, and ex|treamly
troubled at the lo&s;s of &s;o many Noble Per&s;ons, and others,
and of &s;o gallant a Ship. The Pilot is &s;ecured in <HI>Edinborow.</HI> This
is all at pre&s;ent, our late In&s;urrection being fully quieted. I am <HI>&amp;c.</HI></P>
