Title
Can the Cargo Be Saved?
Description
The captain of the sloop, who lives in Norfolk, has informed Perkins that the sloop ran ashore and the winds were blowing so hard that they could do nothing and he did not know whether the cargo could be saved. Had Perkins known how much trouble would be taken with this business, no amount of money would have induced him to take it on. He has booked passage for Norfolk and expects to be there the following day.
