A good example of this occurred in South America in 1835. The shore at concepcion was raised a yard and a half; and the Isle Santa Maria was pushed up two and a half yards at one end, and three and a half yards at the other.

This ill-timed, but doubtless necessary manoeuvre, lost us the additional triumph of having the Purissima concepcion, to grace the ships already in our possession, and I experienced the regret of again seeing her resume the Spanish colours.

N.B. I since have found it was the Santissima Trinidada, and not the concepcion, that struck, but afterwards got off.
