THE ACCIDENT TO THE SHIP CLARA.

A oesreepomdent etude the following account of
the accident to the Clara, referred to in the
"On the morning of the 3rd hot., about half-past three
o'clock, the ship Clara, Captant Bantry, commander, bound
to Calatth, struck on Nare Head, • few miles (west) from
Falmouth. The scene of the contretemps la memorstde
from the has, some years ago, of the ship John, of Plymouth,
with epwarda of 400 pmeengers. The Clara is a noble ship
of 1,200 tons, and was chartered by the Emigration Com-
missioners for the accommodation of soldiers' wives proceed-
kg to India. Although the Eddystone light could be clearly
discerned up to midnight, the weather became thick sad
hazy towers morning. At tbres o'clock every object was
enveloped in what is ordinarily termed • Dutch mist. When
the ship struck, Captain Bantry ordered the pumps
to be sounded without • moment's delay, mid it was
discovered that the Clara was making Mght boohoo
of water per hour. Everything had been prepared by the
commander, In the event of ultimate disaster. The boats
were reedy for launching at a moment's notice, and signal
guns, as well as blue lights and rocketa,were discharged with
promptitude. At twenty minutes past live o'clock • pilot
bait came alongside, end the ship Boated off the ridge with-
out having apparently sustained considered* damage. Bob-
, eminently a lug steamer took the Clara in tow to seaward.
After a few miles the Clara was enabled to Merano with
further aid, and put back to Plymouth, whence she had
started the previous noon.
"Too much praise cannot be accorded to Captain Bantry
end his officers for the rare preemies of mind exhibited
on the occasion. Had not admirable arrangements
been adopted at the moment of the disaster
the most palatal results might have followed. It is grati-
fying to acid, that in • !ship carrying upward. of 400 female
passengers, no confusion or accident of any kind took place.
Bo prompt wee the presence of mind on the part of the eau-
mender of the Clara, and so the aid rendered by
the Buperintending-Burgeon inn charge of the female emi-
grant., in addition to the zeal of the officers and the men,
that no trace of the accident appeared an hour after. Cabin
wieners, responding to the grateful feeling of the end-
pante, have unanimously addressed a letter of thanks to
Captain Bantry for his conduct on the hying oreattion."
