The [?] Capt. as soon as he saw her took her into his cabin & clothed her very unwisely in a ladylike fashion & she has had always a servant to attend her. Being of a very romantic turn she seems to have taken much ______________ ____ thru appreciation of _________, I ____________ being a _______________ quarrel between them last night she made use of the expression of the Laudanum to destroy herself, but was discovered soon enough to prevent it’s deadly effects.
