`Abstract of a letter, dated St. Peter's, Isle of Thanet, 7th Dec. 1783. This day there is a brigantine, or a snow, of about 200 tons burthen, ashore on the main at Broadstairs, without any person belonging to her on board, or to be found; she is loaded with a great deal of cocoa, and some casks in her lower tier; by a letter found on board it appears that she was loaded at Amsterdam, and left the Texel about the 30th of November; it is judged the ship is a Portuguese, but cleared as Spanish property; the cargo is mostly wet, and in a perishing condition.'
