8111PWRECK.—(IARMOUTII, OCT. 16.)—Yesterday, Cie
master, his little child, about four years of age, and part of tin!
crew of the brig John, were landed at our Jetty from a coble,
which had taken them off a wreck that morning, on Hasbro'
Sand. It appears the John, of 143 tons, James Rich (of Ply-
mouth) master, in ballast, from London to Newcastle, strttek
upon the above sand about one o'clock yesterday morning.—
There were on hoard at the time, the master, his wife and two
children, and seven men forming the crew. The wind blowing
strong when she struck, with a heavy sea, made it impossible
to get her off; the master, therefore, burnt blue liglos during
the night, and made other signals for assistance. About six
o'clock, the vessel then breaking to pieces fast, five of the crew
took to the long boat (the jolly boat being previously stove in),
but from there being so much sea, they found it irnpossibl!
to near the vessel again, they were therefore compelled to
leave the master, his wife and two children, and two of
the crew, to their fate on the wreck, with death apparent-
ly staring them in the face, without the least prospect of
escape. The master's wife, with a child in her arms, about a
year and nine months old, were shortly after washed overboard
and drowned. Fortunately, shout ten o'clock, a coble came
to their assistance, and succeeded in rescuing them from the
destruction that awaited them, as they could not have survived
half an hour longer. The men in the long boat reached the
shore in safety. The distressed situation of the master and
crew was no sooner known than relieved, as 111 r. %Vni. Cham-
bers, of this town, immediately took their case in hand, and
succeeded in raising a sum of money sufficient to keep them
above want for the present, and enable them to reach home.—
