SHIP 'WRECK.
HARWICH, :MARCH 7.—Yfrom Sesteunderday
rland morning, about three
o'clock, the ELEGANT, ,
drovefrom her anchors under the West Rocks, and in about an struck
and sunk. On the rough, the crew succeeded in hoisting.out
one of the boats, but before the Second could be got out they
were obliged to get into the fore-top, where they remained till
10, A. 31. when the ship fell on her beam ends, and all the crew,
except Jr.N Palmer, the master, and two men, were washed
away and drowned. Mr. Palmer was twice washed from the
rigging, but having succeeded in regaining his hold, it appears
that he was saved by getting to the main-top, for soon after-
wards the fore-mast went away, and carried with it `he two re-
maining of the crew. Mr. Palmer remained in this perilous si-
gtuation with no other prospect before him than that of a watery
rave, till 5 o'clock A. 31., when the smack HERO,, of Wood-
bridge-haven, Newsom, master, carne up and relieved him.
The greatest praise is due to the master of the smack for the
humane promptitude with which he hastened to the relief of a
fellow creature in a moment of so much peril and danger.
