LOSS of A GLASGOW TEEM AND 801.
FLAMM! OP THE OWE

The Colonaay, Captain Daniel ll'Alliater, was on
a voyage from London to Sydney, N.S.W. and Mean to
Cork, rid Callao. She sailed from the latter place cm the
12th of July het, and made a quick run to near Cape H
whim climbed a long meantime°, of easterly weeds and
eery thick weather accompanied with snow. After round-
Mg the Cape the weather continued unsettled and very
dark, precluding Capt. M'Allister from getting any
reliable observations. Under the..o einem/is ices, and
not bevies sighted any of the outlying islands of the
Falkland group, the ship's course was altered to the
outward ess the evening of the 15th August., and •
good look-out was kept. By the course steered mad
distance run from the last sight" that could be depended
!moo, the master expected to be to the outward of the
Falklands ma the morning of the IGth August, but about
two o'clock a.m. of that day the ship struck up. a makes
reef, and .hortly thereafter began to break up rapidly, and
her hnig.Loat having also been smashed before tackles could
he put on her, little or no hopes of safety remained to the
crow, but fortunately the jolly•buat was got over the side,
into which the crew got, and as the vowel fell over to
wiedwardohe formed a kind of breakwater to the small
boat, which reonieol ley the wreck until delight, although
in an imminently perilous position. At dielight land was
seen at about a distance of two miles and providentially the
small boat heed in the breakers and reached the shme,
which turned out to be Speedwell Wend, where the crew
landed and were °blazed to remain eleven days without
any food, except the wild fowl and boor which they ma-
naged to kill by stoning them. Several of the crew were
SO serenely frostlAtts• that some of them would probably
lose the use of their feet. Fortunately a box of matches
was cast ashore from the wreck, which, after being dried by
placing them next to the skim of some of the strew, a are
frum emerged and gram was kindled. After the weather
moderated Captain N'Allieter and a number of the new set
out in the small boat, and luckily fell in with a sealing
achnor.er fifty miles from the wens of the disaster, which
returned and took the remaining part of the Colonsay's
crew off the island, and landed them at Stanley, the Eog.
