WRECK OP TUE ARGYLE, AND LOSS of
FIFTEEN LIVES.

The barque Argyle, Captain Young master, and thr
greater part of the crew, have been lost off the easier
shore of Newfoundland, while on a passage to Quebec:
She sprang a leak on the 19th May, in terrible tve3tileb'e
and the exertions of the crew of 19 men to redueeht
water by pumping were thrown away. Recourse wt7,o,
to the boats, but the jolly-boat went adrift in launc'',ll
Having obtained as much provisions and water as eci-t
be got at, the order was given for all hands to ta,lo‘,:
the long boat. They numbered in all 17—three
sengers (two of them females), first and se& io
mates, eleven seamen, and the master. All beir:e,
readiness, the boat was pushed off amid a heavi2,o
which every moment threatened to engulph
Within an hour after their leaving they saw thes to
go down head foremost. They kept the boat head;

when they hoisted sail and made for a westerly COur°g-,
On the third day their situation became alarw;r
The water and provisions were exhausted ; the 1-3,3",,ae

wise they must have quickly sunk under their aw
privations. A heavy sea was continually running,
