(From the Mauritius oovernMenit Gazette, of Jan.l.)
‘` It is fvith very 'p,tinfut 'feeling We hare at
leogth to announce to our readers The melancholy
fate of a part of •the dew and passengers of the
transport ship Emma, which, arrived at this Island
on
-the 2bth October List. It will be remembered,
doubtless, that- the Master of this vessel, ignorant,
as it should appear, of navigation, and unprovided
with a'single ebroncinieter, mistook the coast of
Madagascar for that of Mauritius, and that after
sofne delay, he thought proper to send a boat
ashore, with an officer of the ship and sot e sail-
ors; in this boat, at their own desire, four of the
passengers ( \lessrs..lionrblauc, Rance, Want, and
Stirling), destined for the civil service in this co-
lony, also embarked. They were seen to reach
the,shori, but from a delay in
.their return, _
Master of , the Emnia, fearing sotne accident had
' befallen them, sent a second boat to gain tidings
of them. The erew of the secorid boat gave no-
very satisfactory accounts of what they saw, ow-
ing, to the approach of night. The next morning.
no traces,either of the first boat, or of any of the
persons- who had left the ship in her, ;• ere to be
found; and after Standing off and on for the.
wltole of the day, it was deemed expedient to quit
the coast, and the Emma - proceeded otOier. pas-
sage hither. Ili's Excellency the Governor, inftne-,
dit4ely upon receiving this information, dispatthed
a vessel to Madagascar in'search of the, missing
persons .; and the ofAcial report -of the Gentleman
sent is, that, after a diligent search, he has obtain.,
ed positive intellivike,. well corroborated, that
the boat in. which they left the ship , was upset,
and that two of the crew were drowned ; that the.
rest were well received by the natives, and
,treated
with every mark of kindness,- but :that, growing.
very anxious to reach the Isle of France, they re-
solved to avail thOuselves of the first opp.ortnnity
that might present itself of pfoceeding to .Tama-
tave ; that an opportunity 'di:l present itself of
.einbarl:ing on board a pirogue, JLuton with honey,
► bound to that Settlementtand that they aetually.
went on board of her, in :spite. t,f the representa-
tion of danger made to them [vile Chiefs, on ac-
count of the great quantity Gf cargo, and number
of passengers she had in her (tier gunnel not being
more than four inches froni.the.water4 edge)—
that when the Chiefs found. theiK remonstrances
were ntiz.va.iling, one of them sent his semi, a
young- man of 21 years of
sail to accompany the
Europeans, and that they se together.—They
Awl not, however, proceeded more than twenty-
five.miles, when a gale arising, the pirogue upset,
and all the Englishmen, together with a vast nunt
her of the natives, perished. The name of the
officer of the Enima we have- not heard ; but be
and tlit remaining two sailors also met a watry
