Swedish East India Ship Wrecks Near Orkney
Edinburgh reports a large Swedish East India Ship wrecked near South Ronaldsay in Orkney on the 18th of last month. Soldiers and sailors seized boats and would not permit officers or passengers to escape. A hard gale drove them northward with fears of death. Some floated ashore safely with providence guiding their landfall. The ship is valued highly.
