LOSB OF MI 1081IDALE, LONDON AND
lIIWCASTLII 87&411R. •

Yesterday the following report wu received at
Lloyd's relative to the total leis of the Ronda* bad.,
steamer, from London to Newcastle, on the morning of th
let inst., on the Long Scan Rocks, near Hartlepool. The
repot t is water' by Captain O. Wood, the master of the
Rosedale, who attested to the truth of it before the Admiralty
Readver of Broil* at that port
" We left London on the 30th ult., wind S.W., weather
moderate, and at 7 p.m. of the 31st was off Whitby. In
the meanwhile the wind had changed to the N. 8., blowing
hard, with • heavy sea running. We steamed as far as
Sunderland, when finding from the strong wind and heavy
sea that the ship could not weather Soutar Point we bore
away for Hartlepool, considering it preferable, se a place
of shelter, than Sunderland. At 8.15 a.m of the Wirt. we
rounded Hartlepool lieugb, and steamed for the Hartlepool
(old) harbour. Between the outer buoys and the channel
two pilots boarded the steamer, and took charge. They di-
rected her to be backed out, saying she was not exactly
straight fur the channel, which orders wen carried oat. She
was, in consequence, backed into the heavy sea. The wind
was blowing a gale on the darboard bow, which prevented
her coming to, and she drove away Into the middle of the
bey, where the port anchor was Ist go. While the ship was
Meng out, the pilots waved to two steam tugs, which were
coming out of the East Hartlepool channel. On their coming
clan within hail, I asked the captain of one of them what he
would charge for assisting the SWUM' into the harbour. The
answer was, he would make no bargain. In consequence we
hove up the anchor, and attempted to steam into a more
sheltered place, but she only drove further up. We
again let go the anchor, and endeavoured with the aid of
steaming to prevent it from dragging. The steamer
was than about two cables' length of the Long Scan Rock
astern of us. In about an hoar and a half afterwards felt the
vowel strike the ground. We then let go the second anchor ;
la doing so the diet ore met with a serious oxidant. The
cable getting antangled, he, in attempting to clear It, got his
eco.tamrsed in the haweehole, and before be could be en-
libtre had to heave the chain back. The arm was
broken, and he was otherwise much hurt. In about •
(parrot of mahon afterwards the chip struck again and again,
when some part a the machinery gave way, end at the same
dens the reset broke away from her cables and drove on the
rooks above "Boded to. It was now about • quarter peat 11
o'clock a.m., the gar was blowing furious, and the may
chance left was to drive the ship far on the rocks, for a heavy
sea was making a complete breach over her and the crew
were in great danger. To effect this, had the jib heisted.
While in this condition the lifeboat belonging to West
Hatt lopool, which had put off to our rescue, succeeded in
taking all hands off the ship and landed them safe ashore, but
the OM lost everything they powered, for the vessel shortly
afterwards went to pieces and became s Mal wreak. The
skip ter insured."
