A few hales of Cochineal were also taken out of thclelncca which were on board the G. R. when they abandon ed her. The amount found unoii the prisoners is J&927, 25, which has been deposited in the U. S. Bank. There are two more of the party who came ashore at Currituck, but they were left hi tifc road from Black Water, being too iinwel to travel.
