VIOLENT STORM IN SOUTHERN ITALY.--
NAPLES, OCT. 30.—The English brig Condor, Captain
Boyes, arrived in the Gulf, after a passage of 42 days,
from London, having on board a cargo of sugar, indigo,
&c., value 18,0001. Between four and five o'clock in the
afternoon of the 28th she anchored before the harbour,
being prevented entering it by violent and adverse winds.
The storm raged throughout the whole night in the
most fearful manner; and on the morning of the 29th
the heavy sea increasing placed the ship in obvious
danger. 600 ducats were offered to any of the steam-ves-
sels lying in the harbour if they would try to save the ship,
but none would venture out. The captain still hoped that
his three anchors would enable him to resist the storm;
but, alas ! this hope vanished, when about four o'clock
in the afternoon two of the anchors had yielded to the
fury of the waves, and the third (the sheet anchor) was
not expected to resist long. The ship was at the mercy
of the waves, and was in imminent danger of being
pieces upon the neighbouring rocks, when, by
tt dashed
adroit to
manoeuvre, the captain succeeded in running
her ashore, thus fortunately escaping total destruction.
At ten o'clock at night all on board were in safety. Three
American ships-of-war, the frigate Brandywine, of 60
guns, together with three corvettes, commanded by
Commoder Geissinger, and also a French ship-of-war,
fortunately remained in the roads. All the vessels in
the harbour have suffered more or less damage.
