Vorty.seven men and boys deserted when they got on shore from the wreck, many of whom (from the re- Ffort of Cana-flans) have since been found dead on the snow. ~ We sailed limn Shithead on the 31st of March, and had a favourable passage to the Sauk% of New., foundland, where we met with immense quantities of ice, thick logs, and strong south-east winds, the.ice. increasing as we drew near theGulph, and at length we were frozen up. tweive hours near Cape North, and the thermometer .18 deg. below the freezing pbint. Whet] the ice loosened to permit the ship to. ,rpove, all sail was set, and we got her out ; *the frost was frequently so intense as to preclude all possibi lity of working the ship; the ropes were so enlarged by the ice, apt% the sails which were not set were . completely frozen into a. solid body. ,On the 2lth we had moderate weather, the frost was considerably gone, and we,entered the Gelph of St. Lawrence.— On the 18th we passed between Brion and Magdalen Wands. On the tech sailed through grect quantities 1 44 field ice, the sea at the time appearing as one en tire sheet, but not sufficiently strong to stop the ship', y. • We seen after saw the coast of Lower Canada lk 'slit gape- Rosier, wind north 4• 4 Q. the Stith we stood to the eststward .till * s !welts cdf to the sisottward 01 east; at three! p. an. .we tacked and woad teethe Canada slTore, at Om at, having a good chute to clear all the land,- which Witl set by the- Master and First Lieutenant; die supposed distance ~three or four leagues; the weather thick and cloudy, inclinable to sncw, and. eery cold; the lead was kept going, , the Master Was ordered not to gait the deck, and to make• all the watch -keep a good lookout. -At eight p. m. we sounded in 71 fathoms ; at half-past eight, while the', j line wis passing forward ; the Captain end First Liiutenant were looking at thechart, the ship going about four knots, when she was felt to strike the rocks; the atmosphere extremely dark sled snowing. ` The helm was immediately put down, .and the sails `thrown a back; she Vame4o about two points, and remained fast ; the boats were immediately loweyed ;down,* and the orogen anchor taken out on the star. board quarter, and let go in six fathoms, which, was effected with great difficulty, owing to a current (inknowp to as) setting hi from the south-east.* - Wst cat away the bower anchors and threw the foremost oneseoerboard. therebeing three and a half fathoms aft., .

The Master ' was now sent away in the cutter, with a small haw ser,lo make fast to the ..shore, if possible ; but the surf was so great, and it breaking over large ridges of rocks, the boat was swamped and stove - long be fore she got near the shore, and the crew, with great difficulty, were saved. 'Three successive attempts were male with the other boats, one of which was the life-boat, in which the Purser was sent with the pub lic dispatehrf, which were saved. As none of the boats returned, the prospect of those on Unatd-became very alarming ; the ship by this time (May the Ist) milting very heavy, it was impossible to stand iip:m the deck ; the quarter-deck, beams were gieing way, and the sea was breaking into the Captain's cabin, . %Web destroyed the few bags of bread- that were stowed there for safety. The pinnace being the only boat alongside, and in great danger of being stove, the Captain was advised to go into her ; he appeared much exhausted and fatigued, and apparently unable to.assist himself into' the boat, front severe rheumatic presi. He was lowered - Mit of one of the quarter kidrts, and with as many men as she could safely carry, took another rope, to try and reach the shore ; ibet• she had scarcely cle.tred the lee of the ship, when * Sea half tilled her ; the next sea threw her upon a itack, when all was thrown out of her; but, with the assistance of oars, and by swimming, they all got the shore; the snow to the edge of the water was then Tour feet deep, and those on the shore were obligei to haul the others up —the weather extremely cold, with severe frost arid blowing hatd. The gig and jolly-boat were still on board, and, after great diffi culty, the gig was got alongside from the stern, when the First and Second Lieutenants, with 18 men, got on shore in her better than any other of the bears ; the gig succeeded in bringing on shore another party, but was unfortunately upset in the surf and stove ; the people were saved. though some were drunk. 6 "Fhe jolly-ilia !sting oar the booms, could nor be launched ; about forty of the crew were still on board ; turd when they saw all hopes of being saved cut oft, by the boats being all swamped on shore, they Made most lamentahla.eries. We had still hopes l of static of them being saved, b) getting on shore on pieces of the wreck, which some attempted, hit p:rish.eil ; our prospects on shore were truly .misera tile ; nothinz, to be seen but high mountains covered with snow. Some hands were employed collecting wood to endeavour to make a fire, which was accoot- plished.atur several hours' perseverance; the canse quences mu a have been fatal had we not succeeded, I . at the clotnes on our backs were actually freezing. Many of the men wers frost-bitten in the feet and bands, some have lost their toes, and ten have been in consequence left at the hospital at Quebec.

The bhip breaking up, the spirits floated on shore, which the crew soon found, and before the, officers knew ft there was scarcely a sober man to be , seen :litany had drank to such a degree alit they lay , flkless in the mow. All the rum that could be found, was Movie, preserving a sufficient quantity to be uaod la a proper wanner. . • • .. _,. On the next day about 48 men deserted, after plundering some of their shipmates and every trunk that was washed on shore. Some of 'the men have sits been found dead by the Canadians.
