COLLISION ow VESSELL—The American ship Russell, on
her voyage from New Orleans to New York, gives the following
account of her collision with a British vessel :—November 20th,
lat. 26, long. 80, at midnight (it being very dark), with a good
breeze and heavy sea, heard a bell, and immediately discovered a
ship on the opposite tack, and while endeavouring to wear clear of
her, her larboard and our starboard bows came in contact, carrying
away our bobatays, bowsprit, shrouds, the whole head, and knock-
ing in our starboard cat-head, and anchor on the forecastle ; the
strange ship dropped astern with the loss of her bowsprit, and her
hull apparently much injured. One of her crew jumped on hoard
the Russell. She proved to be the Zephyr, Smith, from Honduras,
(Aland for London, in company with the Rosanne, of and for ditto.
They both immediately hove to, and we did the same as soon as we
got sail MI the ship, but saw no more of them.
CAPTAIN AIANNY'S INVENTIOW:OT MOMS, evening last,
during the heavy gale off Yarmouth, a small coal-laden brig wet.
driven on shore to the north of the new pier, and by the prompt at.
tendance of persons belonging to the revenue service, communication
was soon effected, by their throwing u line over the vessel with a
shot from the mortar, and the crew, four in number, were happily
brought in safety to the shore on a sling, when no other means
could have saved them. It is worthy of remark, that from the time
this plan of preservation from shipwreck has been brought into use,
now eighteen years, on a space of coast so notorious for fatal ship-
wrecks, that according to the recollections and tradition of very old
inhabitants, many had annually perished, not a single life has
since been lost front stranded vessels.—Nary Gazette.
