Among other vessels which took shelter here last week
Hathrra
Hol-
stein brig Zamps, Captain Groot, which brought passen-
ger from Laguna Captain Wortermann, late of the brig
Fortuna. The circumstances connected with the loss of
this vessel must prove interesting to masters of ships
bound to Mexico and California, for which coasts so
many charters are now taking up. The following is
translated from an authentic account published in Al
Monitor, at Mexico, Feb. 3:—
" On the 20th of October last the German brigantine
Fortuna was wrecked on the coast of the island of Santa
Maria, between the rivers of El Fuerte and Sinaloa.
Through the efforts of the supercargo, captain, and crew
a great part of the cargo was saved; but the vessel was en-
tirely lost. The cargo was bound to Guyamas, the nearest
port whence assistance could be obtained; and at. the
instance of the supercargo the Government of Guyamas
immediately sent away the captain of the brigatine
Hawavan Carlota with his vessel and a few large boats,
which returned with a portion of the cargo on the 28th
of November. They started again on the 2d of Decem-
ber, and collected the greater part of the remainder. On
the 31st of December, at eight in the evening, the mate
received a communication ashore from the Administrator
of Revenues of El Fuerte, Don Francisco Chavez; and
at half-past eight, before the mate could deliver the
message on board to the captain, or that they could con-
sult together on the subject, a party of cavalry and in-
fantry, consisting of forty men, armed with carbines
and lances, fell upon the people ashore when quietly
taking their supper, fired at and ptirsued them into the
sea, which offered the only refuge from this murderous
attack. Three men were killed, viz., the principal
stevador of the port. Thomas() Deano; the carpenter
of the Fortuna, Frederica Trimpf ; and one of her
crew, Juan Cartel's; and two wounded—an Indian named
Capeto and Manuel Jellerias. The assassins then
took possession of the few things that remained ashore,
and the vessel set sail the next day, the 14th of Decem-
ber, for Guyamas, where a protest was drawn up at the
request of Senor Don Juan A. Robinson, United States'
Consul, and certified copies thereof delivered to the Go-
vernment of Sinaloa and to the General of Division, Don
Juan Pablo Anoka, who, it is hoped, for the honour of
the Mexican nation, will speedily discover and bring to
justice the perpetrators of these atrocious acts."
The Fortune's cargo, with which she left Valparaiso
on the 26th August, consisted of wine, brandy, cocoa,
and dry goods. The wind was S.S.W. when she went
ashore, and Captain Wortermann attributes her loss to
the incorrectness of his chart, an English publication.
After the protest was noticed the Captain went to Ma-
ashen, thence to San Bloc, where he crossed the conti-
tinent to Vera Cruz, and then took passage in a ship to
Laguna.
The Nautilus three-masted iron steamer, Captain Par-
son, came in here this morning for water. She has been
hired by the German Government, through the Prus-
sian Consul-General in London, to lie off this port and
give warning to all German merchants vessels entering
the Channel of the renewal of hostilities by the Danish
Government.
Wind southerly, light breeze, and fine weather.
WOOLWICH, MAY I.—The Elfin steam-vessel came
round to Woolwich from Chatham on Saturday, and
was tried up and down the river several times. She
left Woolwich again this morning for Portsmouth, to be
employed as a dispatch boat betwixt that port and
the Isle of White, under the charge of Mr. Balliaston,
who is to command her.
The Buzzard steam-yacht, built at Pembroke, arrived
at Woolwich yesterday, having been brought round to
the river to be fitted with her engines.
The Magicienne steam-vessel was taken under the
shears to-day to have her jury masts taken out, pre-
paratory to her being taken to Deptford to be fitted with
her engines by Messrs. Penn.
The Gladiator steam-frigate is under the shears in the
basin, to have her guns and gun carriages put on board,
and will soon be ready for sea.
