THZ WRECK OF THE CALEB
EMIGRANT SHIP.

The following detailed Meant of the diseloontion
by fire of the ship Caleb Orimabaw, with the loss of
101 passengers, has bola communicated to a morning
contemporary by an eyewitness of the melancholy
even', who Wroth, he sale, from notes taken at the
time :
The Caleb Orimehaw sailed from Liverpool on the 23rd
of hat Cocteau. with a "soma eargo, besides 100 tone of opal,
mid. 1 believe 600 or 700 tons ot bon. She corded 427 pas
with
ir chides, Oa in the whip ; the crew numbered 18,
with four mates, there being oleo a steward and stewardess,
the tomato, his wife gad child, a doctor, sad two sook•—in
all, 467 souls. For nearly three weeks we experiewed no
thing bet cm nary winds sad oasts. and the ant fair wind
we mat with was en the day the fire was dissonred--flunday.
Nov. 11. It was the first day we had our studding Wisest.
Oar latitude the day before was 41 deg. 8 nen. 14. longitude
36 deg. W. At the time the accident occuleed
in longitude about 37 deg. 30 min. W. At 9 creicel p.m.,
the skip being wader all sail, wing about two knots, the
alarm of are was Peen, smoke Whig observed to ascend
from the fool hatchway. la a few minutes all was waft,
sion ; th• steerage passeorres rusted up from their berths,
and came aft at the quarter dick, lyleg and kneeling down
in all directions, impeding the emetics" of the crew, and
hardly anemias the commands of the captain to be Leard
shove their cries. A large force-pump on the forecastle
deck was immediately manned and a hoes fastened to it,
which played down between decks. By this mew mid the
emplopneat of the slip's bockats, there was seem a wad-
devable pantity of water between dews, bat still substa-
mew of the smoke. It was now evident the fire was in the
lower hold; the hatchway. which had bees can ked end
pitched over whet leans' Liverpool, was therefore opened,
whoa immediately thick whisaiss of smoke ascended. The
hose wee now &rested down this hatchway, fresh hands
were sammoised to the pump, and in about as hoar, the
emokeseageoring to decrease, Mr. liwie, the first mate,
vothst to go down and try if he could eel
the fire. A rope was accordingly tied round his I
body, but he had hardly been lowered below the hatchway
when he called out, and was immediately hauled up agsia
quite insensible from the smoke. Ibis report when after
several minutes he recovered, was very discouraging ; he
said she wee all on fire below. The exestioas of chore at the
pump were redoubled, and a colorant stream of water di-
rected below. Several of the passengers volunteered their
services, but a great sassy had to be drives from among the
owns and children, where they lay =ittlg and toy-
ing. While the captain and mates were a number
of the passer gen got into the larboard quarter boat, sad
lowered her. She was immediately swamped, and about 12
were drowned. Shortly atter the alarm ot fire the an at
the wheel deserted his poet, end he, the boatswain, the second
cook, with one or two others of the crew, having placed two
compasses and some provisions and water is the stern beat,
got into her, lowered her, and remained in her astern of the
vessel, to which they did sot return for several dap. As
soon as the form pump and buckets were regularly at work
most of the sail was taken in, and the ship hove aback. By
this time it was about midnight, and quite calm, and had
the veinal had a gun on board, it ought to have been fired
ell the night through, but, strange to say, she wag totally
unprovided with cannon, nor do I think she had rockets or
blue lights either—at least, none were burnt. There were
two large tanks of water on the main deck, each containing
1,100 gallons. These the pareagen stove in, in spite of
the captain's exertions to prevent them. They said the fire
must be put out at any cost. About 2 o'clock in the morn-
ing of Monday the 12th, as the smoke was not observed to
increase, the first alarm subsided and the ere iest ceased,
the people for the mostpart falling asleep. la the course
of the nioht the starboard quarter boat was got down and
veered astern, with throe of the crew he her ; the stern
boat was already lowered, and the ether quarter boat,
which had been sweimped, wee baled out by the first
mate Ned one or two of the crew; she was also pitied
astern, and three as placed in lo r, while all the boats
also we

re
provided with oars, provisions and wager having
placed is each. Dawn disclosed a scene of contusion—the
quarter deck covered with filth, in which were lying women
and children in all directions, while up the foreaaoh the
*make still continued to ascend, and it was penetrating
slowly into the cabin. Some of the crew now preosred to
launch the long-boat, while others emasienced makieg a
raft, and the smoke being observed stealing act the pumps
near the mainmast were set to work. The long boat was
launched about 9 a.m. and pasted astern; the cayrain's wife
and child were lowered tnt, out of his state room window,
through which ware also passed some compass'', corn, am,
and Una the whin presagers • ere lowered over the sorra
of the vessel Whin this was going on the nor • became
painful in the outwit.. • some rushed to the captain's -ate
room beeeeehlag him' to awe them; numbers crowded
tonal be *term where the emend mate was employed lower-
ing the ladies into the long boat ; When were to he seen at
their proven, while mothers and Widths, husbands and
wives, embraced each ether and mingled their tsars out-
door. At this trying period the cooduct of Rootlet and
DM astmeted money. While the English generally
wawa ea await their fate in silent resignatoin, the Irish
Wage lewd is their lamentations, notwithstanding that a
Mined MI bees employed giving them absolution ad the
alskt sad wwwalag. A remarkable instance of their ezt
them-
love of life was exhibited by two girls, who lowered
selves by a rope hewing over the stela, although they were
told that they would not be admitted into the boat ; they
were, bolo Ter, token In, after being left Waging ia the
water ustil they were nearly ezhawned. Four of to e snood
cabin passengers, too, got is, and two Irishmen forced
themselves on board, have Wisely deserted their wives
in the burning vessel. When the writer left the ship for
the lorgboat, the cabin floor was quite warm and smoke
was coming up through the seams of the Aarck, so th et
the fire was evidently extending to the after pert eif the
reuti. In the afternoon the eaptais came off, and
wee put on board the longbost. On his leaving
the
gene
el's side, the poor. creatures oa board set
p aal cry, " Oh, captain dear, save uS! one us!"
He told them he was not going to leave them, and that he
would stay by the vessel to the leas. Why he did not stay
in the vessel remains to be explained. Before be left the
crew had made two more ono of these was launched.
and about 30 persons got raps, when, (wino It wbuld be
overcrowded, they cut themselves mina, and soon after
hoisted a small sail and went off to the eastward before the
wind. It is mot probable they ell perised in ada or two,
AS, although they had a barrel of beef and one of pork, they
had very little water, and I believe no breed.
All blonds? night and all Tuesda and Tuesday bight the
ship lay to with the boats astern. On Tuesday raornmo the
chief mate came off is one of the boats and brought some
provisions and a swell tin veseel of water for the loos boat.
Trey had passed a terrible night oar board. No sooner had
the captain left than the steerage pistons rushed into the
cabin, cut and broke open all the nooks sod bar: s they
could lay hands on, and rifled them of their contents. They
found two cases of brandy and a few bottles of wine, after
having consumed which they bowie
wh very radiot4, attaceiag
the first mate and some of the crew, o h goureat difficulty
in preserving their lives. They succeeded in taking
vino
two
guns from them, and threw than overboard, and ha
armed themselves with pistols and icon,' kept these in-
furiated savages at bay until the effects of the brandy wore
riff, when they beams quiet enough. In the course of the
day the beets brought us off a few mattresses, blankets, and
loaves of the cabin table, which were laid along the bottom
ot the boat, and which were very welcome, as she was leaky,
mod shipped so meek water over her aides that two men
were kept constantly baling her oat. Oa Wednesday morn-
ing, the 14:b, a cask of bread was bre-tight us; the crew
had found a isask of flour the evening before, sod the cook
was employed baking it the whole night, This was very
acceptal as we had nos breed in the long boso and heed
been eub-tetiag ... . loe coke and cheese. wiih • resit
pickles. About 9 a.m. the ship washquared away Wore the
wind, and ran on all day about nort by west, towing the
boats after her. Why they did not run her fur the At ass
the day before, when the w.nd was favourable, seems very
strange. She had now nine feet of water in her hold, but
still the smoke eseended from the hatches, though they had
been covered down spin to smother the fire as much as poi-
Obi". We observed a good deal of smoke also issuing from
the cabin windows and from the ventilstors in the stern.
On Wednesday night she ley to, the captain consideong it
unsafe to carry on during the night, as the long boat was
Aiming seas over her bows and sides, being mh too
heavily laden. She had 25 or 26 peoons in Ler, and. iood
deal of useless lumber besides. which =WO, have been
thrown overboard. In the evening they anted an old cover
of a soil along the gunwale, and drew it over the boat,
covering her like a tent ; this kept off a go d many heavy
save and doubtless saved us from being swamped screwed
times in the course of the night. As it w. a, b- lug quite wet
through by the rain, which poured down in torrents,. and by
tight. washing continually over us, we swat a miserable
night. On Thursday Nothing, the lOh, the wind below fi-
vourahle, the mates and crew begged of the captain n. but
the ship about god steer for the Azores. This he at last
consented to do, and this day we made a run of s me 60N.,

done to alleviate their sufferings. She followed us pretty
well under her fore and main topsails, foresail, and foretop-
mast oared ; the crew were too weak to make more sail on
her. She seemed much shaken this manliest ; the masts
were all loose, the mainmast especially, which shook several
feet from side to aide, as the vessel roiled. The fore topgal-
lant sail, too, was blown to ribbons.
Tuesday, the 20th.—The era was still running too high to
attempt removing the rest of the pamengers, but early this
morning a boat was sent on board with the second mate and
seven fresh hands, who soon made sail on her—settlag the
mainsail, mein topgallant sail, and mina topsail. The boat
brought off the five men who had been on board the wreck.
They had a rad tale to tell. On Sunday night 20 cited, last

Menteelves, as they had broken into the doctor's room, and

which proved to be Flores. By 8 p.m. we were under the
lee of the island, and the boats were employed all night
removing the people from the burning vessel, which task was
safely completed by u o'clock in the morning of Widnes-'
day, the 21st, when the first mate and men who had bees
employed in it removed the hatches, and shortly after the
flames burst out. The ship burnt from the stern forwaid,l

and even to his servants.
Oa Monday, the 26th, nearly 100 more were taken off to
the Omelette ; and, owing to the repeated complaintof Cap.

but at dark the gale blowing still harder we began to drag

others about 600 yards. Our danger was now imminent, as
the betaken could be seen almost under our stern, and we
were driving right on a frightful lee shore. We thought it
heed to pride thus, having escaped destruction so lately,
to be sacrificed to those absurd quarantine laws: and, harder
still, that Captain Cook should die a victim to his humanity
in saving our lives. Just after he bad come down to
tell the ladies to get up and dress themselves, and
when five minutes more would have seen us on the
rocks, the w.nd suddenly chopped round to west, and the
vessel was said. It was found nest morning, on weighing
anchor for the pureose of getting the easel to safer marriage,
further in the hat%our, that both the nukes of one of the
two ranaining anchors were broken.
On Tuesday, the 27th, the remainder of the parsengers
were taken ashore, where we experienced every kindness
and atteution trim the consuls. Nothing could equal the
tenants of Mr. Dabney in particular.
Thus, after more than two weeks suffering and privations,
and at the tisk of starvation, sad, as it afterwards prove:,
of shipwreck to himself and crew, the lives of 3.36 human
beings IMO saved by means of Captain Cook's noble and
praiseworthy conduct. Ninety-two were missing when all
were got on board the Sarah, eight died on the passage to
Faysl, and one after we came to anchor. 01 the 92 about 30
went off on the rats the day after the accident, 40 perished
from want of water and food, abut 12 were drowned by the
swamping of the quarter b at, and the remainder were pro-
bably smothered in their berths. AU the cabin passengers
were saved. The doctor reported four second cabin

To the chief mate, Mr. Bona, a yotmg men only 22 years

afloat and our lives preserved until we fell in with the Sarah.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN

The weather has been very variable gime over last,

Advice, from Bahia of the 7th November state
that the progress of the crop during the last fort-
night had been retarded by rain. The market for
sugar opened at 1,600 re. to 2,000 re., but the quantity
offered at these rates was very limited, the large
holders being unwilling to accept them. The receipts
of cotton in October were 2,554 bags. The price
had advanced to 4,800, equal to 4 65-100 d. per lb.

very little was doing in freights. Exchange on

From Rio de Janeiro dates have been received to

Europe and America had given a fresh impulse to the
market, and caused an advance in the price of coffee.
Washed was quoted 4,600 re. to 5,600 re.; superior,
