DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.
It has ibtoweek become our paillikoluty to record one of
the most aßictive accounts of hommigaffering that has ever
appeared in the columqe of • public journal. The heart
sickens at the bare recital of this horrid tale of woe; and
from our own feelings we eau antheipate those of our readeis
ots perstskag. the following muse electing narrative, which ;
we have lerived from an intelligent correspooden!, lo wheats
it was rallied by the unfortunate Captain M•Alpin iu person :
The brig George, Captain Jobs IlPAlpia, nailed from
Quebec with a cargo of timber for Greenock, on the 12th
September last, with • crew consisting of nine persona, be-
sides thee. passeegers. Early is the morning of
the &it October she sas overtaken by sorloleat storm,
wirch continued without intermission diring the (ley ;
towards sunset /be gale increased, and the vessel be-
came quite unmanageable. At two o'clock the fol.
lowing morning • tremendous see broke over her, and
'wept away three of her best bands, will the Companion,
binnacle, a cable, and boom, and greatly elpseagrel the
bull: all bands were then called to the p , bat only
tbreeorere able to "tender any assistance. At six o'clock
they found the vessel to he waterlogged; nothing then
remained but to endeavour to gain the mails-top, which
with /1•1111C111e difficulty they setromplisbed, carrying with
them ono bag of bread, about eight pouuds of cheese,
two dozen of whit, and a "mall quantity of brandy and
rum. Before they had time to secure themselves In their
perilous situation, the vessel fell on her beam ends; but
within about half an beer the batches blew up and she
again righted; their crusty stores were now examiaed,
when, to their utter dismay, all bad been washed away
except the bag of bread. At Ibis period a elsetropelog
scene occurred to the midst of their afflictions: one of
the passenger, had his wife on board, wed: • child fifteen
months old, which he carried le his arms; the Want,
however, he was compelled to sbandon to the merciless
waves in the view of its distracted mother! The main-
sail was now let down to screen them Irons the severity of
the weather, which continued tempestuous until Friday the
11th, when they were able once more to go upon ibe deck.
Their thirst bad now become excessive, and nothing but salt
water to be procured; having found the carpenter's aze,
they cut a bole in the deck near to where a water cask had
beret etowed; but, alas! the cask had been store, and no-
thing was to be (flood either for support or conveuiesee, but
an empty pump tan, which they carried with them to the
main top. That night the female passenger became insen-
sible, and on Saturday the 12th she died. This poor wo-
seta, whose name •as Juice Rae, came with her husband
from between Belfast sad Larne, is Ireland./ The unhappy
survivors were sow reduted by raging thirst, to support us-
tare by sucking the blood of there deceased companion, and,
abockieig to relate, the miserable husband wee neetvesitated
to partake of the unnatural and horrid beverage. Their suf-
ferings, however, met with Illllt. all.iy from thin temporary
but dreadful relief; they yrere now assailed by the must
acute sod ungovernable hunger; sad to preserve existence
were compelled to distributer ibe flesh of the deceased among
the famiskieg survivors ! While in the very acme of their
'offertory, a ship hove in view ; but this joyful sight was of
abort duration, fur it being nearly dark, they remain-
ed unperceived by the vessel, which continued bee own
course, and my4uou out of their reach.
This fresh iefortuoe threw them into greater despair
than they had yet experienced. rom this time to the 13d,
the following persons died :--Jobs Lamont, a boy; Julia
92`Kay, carpenter; George M'Dowell, passenger; Cohn
111`Keelseie, and the stewed, Gilbert rell'Gilvray. Part of
the flesh of these wretched sufferers was also devoured like
that of thew:Oman. The whole number was uow reduced to
the Captallj and one of the mimeo, who, by the kelp of the
and the can 'beady mentioned, contrived to
supply themselves with water till the 11th Nuvember (hav-
ing been 38 dais on the wreck), when they were providers.
holly discovered by Captain Hudson, of the Valium, of Car-
lisle; but they were yet fated to suffer another shipwreck,
though of minor Importance.
-On Tuesday the 19th lust. Ibis vessel, whilst riding off
Beckfout, on the Cumberland coast, the wind blowing a
guile, biuke her chain cable, whets she drifted too near to
111o)horougli, and was considerably damaged, but all bands
were saved, including the two unfortunate sufferers, who
arrived al Annan al IVedistoday evening last—and, what is
very remarkable,appasently in good health. They are both,
we uorle,stand, at • short distance from their native place.
Wc cannot conclude thie melancholy narration, without ob-
serving, that the utmost praise is due to Captain Hudson
fur his humane sad geweruns treatment of Captain hl'Alpiis
and his seaman ; to sebum be set only afforded every "nim-
ble nourishment wirer on hoard of the Saltum, but ban
been unremitting in his rudesvours to render their situa-
tion eunifortable since. their arrival in Anuao.—(Carlisle
Journal )
