 | Surname | Elliot | | | Rank | Captain | | | Occupation or Status | Commander of Ship | | | Location | Strait of Colong  | | | Summary Remarks | The Vestal Brig, Captain Elliot, was taken possession of by the Malays in the straits of Colong (Callam dark) in the early part of September. She left Penang on the 1st instant, laden with government stores, for the troops about to evacuate Malacca, and it appears that she got aground on the bar, and that being unable to get her off the commander with Captain Hampton a passenger, proceeded to Malacca for assistance, and arrived there in one of the ship's boats after an exposure of 36 hours, the most prompt aid was afforded them by the Dutch Admiral Wolterbeck, who instantly dispatched a schooner to look after the Brig, but the pirates had made prize of her, and the fate of her and her crew is still unknown. | | | Article Type | News Article | | | Issue Number | Vol. XXXV, No. 1736 – Supplement | | | Issue Day | 12 | | | Issue Month | January | | | Issue Year | 1819 |
