came on from the N.E,- which veered to N.W, - when it blew the heaviest, - by Tuesday 29th viz the following day the "april" had drifted to within about 20 miles of the Dudgeon - The Dudgeon leaving about NW at about 4/30 a.m saw a pris in distress distant 10 or 15 miles leaving about NW although the ariel had been much disabled during the gale all fussile sail was made ti beat up to her,- at a little past 10 a.m the Brig upset and went down in about 5 minutes we were distant about 1 1/2 miles,- Hill stood on towards the place she went down wirh the hope of being able to save some of the crew, soon after we saw a man floating in the water, - immediately twisted out our Boat,- a heavy sea recurring at the time, - although the wind had somewhat abated, - and picked up the man, - who proved to be Geo Tribble, master of the Brig "Balla" of Exter, - He being a good swimmer had kep himself up by the aid of a Boar hook staff under one of his arms, - He was much exhausted when we got him on board, - and four or five hours elapsed before we could bring him round to consciousness, - I beg to hand you a certificate from the owner of the "Balla", signed also by Mr Tribble the master. J. Sparrow Ed Pullen

In my opinion the master of the "Balla" Mr Tribble would have inevitably perished in a very short time, - had he not been recovered at the time he was, - and in the manner before described, - by Mr Pullen and the crew of the "ariel" to whom I submit a reward should be given. J.S. 11 June 1860
