Through the exertions of the Officers, the men were kept below, until the water was aerie deep on the deck ; every endeavour was then-uied tort them on shore, as the ship waslound to be sinking fast.g r in. the confusion many of them jumped overboard g , these being nu boats near, and seeeraisweinfortu.) nately drowned ; 18 or 20 ire at this time mi-singa but I hope some of them may yet be found upon tit, l island. From the vessel filling so fast, and the exer.c lions oPetery..Officer being required in saving the men, it was impossible for them to recover any part . of their baggage; they have lost almost 'every thing s and many of the men are in a state of nakedness. I was on the beach from the commencement of this unfortunate business, without being able to reader much assistance ; and in justice to the offi cers on board, I must say, that to their exertions alone it was owing that so few of the men ow board were lost by jumping overboard. Witk the assistance of the boats belonging to the Sultan, Shamrock, and other vessels in the fleet, Ma jor Shelton, with the aid of the oificeVs on board, succeeded In getting the remainder of the men On shore by dark. The Baring is now covered with ,water, and I fear nothing on board can he recover* ed. It was providential that she did not remain where she struck in the first instance : had she done so, I fear , every soul would have perish.-d, there being a heavy surf, and no, possibility of the men getting -upon the rocks had they jumped overboard, added to which, not a boat could get to her, in consequence of the wind and tide setting into the haven at the time. . ; • i Tuesday and Wednesday, the Ist Somerset Militia', lately returned from Ireland, marched through Esetey in two divisions for their station at D t Prison ?
