port. “About nine o’clock on Sunday morning, the 24th of June, we fell in with a large island of ice, covered with snow; it was about 200 feet
high, two miles and a half in circumference, and distant from the shore near 270 miles….Cape Race being the nearest island. When we first saw it, it was 5 or 6 miles a head, and we could perceive little else than snow; but as we approached its magnificence grew upon us; and when we were abreast of it, about five o’clock, and within a mile, it exhibited an appearance so awfully beautiful, that my pen is inadequate to the
description.”

Mr. Morrel, who was in bed in the dwelling house, upon hearing the noise, got up and suspecting thieves instantly discharged a musquet, loaded with heavy shot towards the poultry house, and unfortunately shot Adams thro’ the heart, who instantly expired.
