Mr. Bond has given a detailed history of Admiral Sir Charles Wager,
pages 165 to 173.
The Admiral represented West Looe in Parliament, and resided in the
parish, but Mr. Bond has not been able to collect any traces of his
birth, either from tradition or from records. There is a monument to
his memory in Westminster Abbey, with a long and appropriate
inscription.
The barton and manor of Kyllygarth, including a division of Polperro,
are within this parish. The great tithes and the advowson belong to
the family of Kendall.

GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.
The rocks of this parish are similar to those of Lansallos and
Lanteglos near Fowey.

thunder, and thrown down from the clouds; and that they shew
what weather will ensue by changing their colour.
