Th

1791. April 20. At Perth, Mrs. Kathrin Gairdener, relict of Mr. Wm. Wilfon, late merchant in Perth. She had been for many years deprived of her fpeech, and an almost total lofs of all power of the right fide, and, for thefe ten years pait, confined to her house by a relaxation of the whole nervous system. Her judgement, however, remained quite unimpaired, and a degree of quickness feemed rather to increase with her diftrefs. facility with which the expressed herself was really aftonithing. With the affiftance of a few figns (in the choice of which the was exceedingly ingenious), understood, however, by none but her fon and daughter, efpecially the laft, she could relate a story, in almost all its circumstances, which happened forty or fifty years ago, with amazing readi nefs. She bore her long diftrefs with the most exemplary refignation to the will of Heaven, and maintained a constant chearfulnefs of mind, to the admiration of all who faw her. The immediate caufe of her death was a stroke of the palfy on the left fide, with a relaxation of the mufcles of the tho rax and mouth, and of the whole nervous fyftem; and although in the most extreme trouble, her recollection continued till within a little time of her death. She knew her children, and kiffed their hands in the most grateful manner for their attention to her. She died in the 61ft year of her age; had been very handfome when young, and had the remains of a fine face to the laft.

May.. Mrs. Buchan, the leader of a few deluded people, who for a time refided in the neighbourhood of Thorntonhill, near Dumfries. Her followers were greatly reduced in number; but Mr. White, once a relief-minifter, continued till her laft. Find ing the was going the way of all the earth, the called her disciples together, and exhorted them to continue ftedfaft and unanimous in their adherence to the doctrine which they had received from her. She then told them, fhe had ftill one fecret to communicate; which was, that the was the Virgin Mary, the real mother of our Lord; that the was the fame woman mentioned in the Revelations as being clothed with the fun, &c. who was driven into the wilderness: that the had been wandering in the world ever Lince our Saviour's days, and for fome time past she had fojourned in Scotland: that though here the appeared to die, they needed not to be discouraged, for the would only

fleep a little, and in a fhort time would again vifit them, and conduct them to the New Jerufalem. After the died, it was a long time before her enthufiaftic votaries would ftraighten or drefs the corpfe; nor did they coffin her until they were obliged thereto by the fmell; and after that, they would not bury her, but built up the coffin in a corner of the barn, always expecting that fhe would rife again from the dead, according to her promife, and conduct them to Jerufalem. At laft, the people in the country around, fhocked with thefe proceedings, interfered, went to a juftice of the peace, and got an order that the fhould be buried. So that the famous Mrs. Buchan of the Weft is now lodged in the houfe appointed for all living.

June 3. Mrs. Hatt, wife of Mr. Rich. H. of Wormley, Herts.

8. At Chichester, in his 64th year, Capt. James Alms, of the royal navy.-This ornament of the British navy was a native of Gofport, in the county of Southampton. In the 14th year of his age he acted as aid decamp to Capt. Watson, of the Dragon, in the engagement of Mathews and Leftock, and received from his commander many marks of approbation. From the Dragon he went to the Namur, of 74 guns, which thip bore a part in the memorable capture of the French fquadron, and their Eaft India convoy, by Lord Anfon, May 3, 1747. In October following, in the fame fhip, he accompanied Admiral Bofcawen to the Eaft Indies. This fhip, with three others, was wrecked on the Coromandel coaft, in April, 1749; but our young hero, referved by Providence for more brilliant fervices, was one out of 23 faved from the crew of the Namur. Immediately after this difafter, he was promoted to be lieutenant of the S; ren, in which fhip he came home. In 1754 he failed again for the Eaft Indies, as commander of the Hardwicke Indiaman, in which he was prefent at the attack of the Geriah under Sir Charles Watfon. But war breaking out between France and Great Britain, in 1758, he accompanied Mr. Ives, who published the history of the voyage, over land, to offer his fervice in the line of his profeffion. Nov. 20, 1759, he was first lieutenant of the Mars, in the victory obtained by Sir E. Hawke over Conflans. In June, 1761, he was promoted to the rank of master and commander. In February, 1762, he failed, as acting captain of the Alarm frigate, to the Weft Indies, and was at the taking of Martinico. Shortly after this, he took an armed floop of 18 guns, and another of 12 guns. June 3, on his paffage with the British Acet, deftined for Havannah, by the fuperior failing of the Alarm he came up with, and, after an hour's engagement, took two Spanish fhips of war, one of 22 guns, nine-pounders, and 180 men, the other of 18 guns, and 85 men. In this acon feveral balls paffed through his hat, and GENT. MAG. July, 1791.

one.

he was wounded in the knee: 14 men were killed in the Alarm, and 26 wounded. During the arduous fervice at the reduction of the Havannah. Capt. Alms was entrusted, by the commander in chief, on many im portant occafions; but it remains one of thofe unaccountable neglects in the fortune of many deferving officers, that he was not appointed a poft-captain till 1765; from which time, till September, 1780, Capt. A. enjoyed, with his family at Chichester, every pleasure from domeftic attachment, till he was appointed to the Monmouth, of 64 guns, in which ship he failed under Commodore Johnstone for the Eaft Indies. The fpirited manner in which he fought the Monmouth, in Port Praya Bay, was an introduction to what Monf. Suffrein afterwards experienced from him in the obftinate engagements be tween the two fleets in India. The hips which were deftined for Madras proceeded, under his command, to join Sir Edward Hughes; and, after braving uncommon hardfhips from the unfavourable feason, it was accomplished on the 15th of February. The active and refolute fpirit of the French Admiral is yet recent in the mind of every The moit confpicuous fhare which Capt. Alms had in any action was on the memorable 12th of April. He was this day fecond to Sir Edward Hughes. Suffrein bore down with an intention, it was thought, to board the British Admiral. Capt. Alms, perceiving this, luffed up the Monmouth, raked his enemy, and fruftrated his manœuvre. Capt. Alms had now to fuftain a terrible fire from Suffrein and his two feconds, which continued until the Monmouth's main and mizen mafts fell overboard. Suffrein, whofe fhip had fuftamned prodigious damage, perceiving the fituation of his antagonist, took French leave, while the shattered Monmouth continued her fire as long as her fhot could reach him. On the fmoke clearing away as the firing ceafed, Capt. Alms found himfelf far to windward, fet his fore-fail, which was all he had, and boldly fired at the French line as he paffed to join the British fleet. In this dreadful conflict with the enemy, the Monmouth's colours, being twice thot away, were nailed to the stump of the mizen mait, never to be ftruck. Seven guns were difmounted, 45 men killed, and 102 wounded. The Captain himself had two wounds in his face from splinters, two musket-balls went thro' his hat, his hair was on fire, his coat torn between the fhoulders, and one of the skirts fhot away. The wheel was twice cleared; and only two, with himfelf, remained on the quarter-deck. Happy was it for the country that fuch an hero had to oppofe the dar ing and intrepid courage of Suftrein, a naval officer fuperior to any that France ever produced. But while we contemplate with wonder this heroic action, and while the page of Hiftory thall record it to posterity, as never furpaffed in naval warfare, the finer fechoge
