There is evidently great sympathy for us in the island.

We have got on board all our "liberty-men," no one of them having shown a disposition to desert.

At 9 P.M., a drunken fireman jumped overboard and swam ashore, in spite of the efforts of a boat to catch him.

He thus braved the discipline of the ship solely for a glass of grog!--so strong upon him was the desire for drink.

We sent an officer for him and caught him in a grog-shop.
