THE LOSS OF THE POLYPHEMUS.

PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 12.—This afternoon 8 officers and
66 men of her Majesty's paddle-sloop Polyphemus, 6
guns, Commander Warren, lost on the north-west
coast of Jutland on the 29th of January, arrived at
this port, by rail, to await their trial by court-martial,
with the remainder of the officers and crew. The fol-
lowing are the officers that have arrived to day :—Lieut.
Frederick Pyne (first lieutenant); Lieut. England ; Mr.
H. W. T. Warrington, paymaster'; Mr. Stiacey, mid-
shipman ; Mr. Burnett, Master's assistant ; and Messrs.
Morris, Jones, and Chambers, engineers. Commander
Warren awaits for orders from the Admiralty as to his
future movements, and in order to secure any portion of
the ship, or her engines, or other stores if possible.
It appears that the officers and crew of the ship bad
to moll the coast of Jutland from the wreck by mes:ns of
the rnast,?, which were cat away, all the boats being
either swamped when lowered, stove in, or separated
from the ship. The fog was very heavy and thick,
and a strong current added in getting the ship on a
sandbank, south of Hansholmen Light. Although only
about a quarter of a mile from the shore, no land could
be seen. Mr. Herbert, in one of the paddle-box boats,
with 10 men had left the ship for the purpose of laying
out an anchor to warp the vessel off by, and having suc-
ceeded in this duty, on returning, the boat was swamped,
and all hands were lost. The second gig and the cut-
ters endeavoured to reach the shore to get aid, but the
surf was too great to allow them to land, and they
pulled out to a vessel in the offing, about (apparently)
seven miles off.

On reaching the shore the officers and men were very
hospitably treated by the natives, mostly fishermen, who
placed their huts at the service of the shipwrecked
marines, supplying them with fled, or anything else
they were in need of. From Misted, the nearest town
to where the wreck took place, the officers and men who
have come here to-day travelled to Flensburg in country
cart-, each farmer being required by the authorities to
supply a certain number. These vehicles being open,
the cold was found very severe. From Flensburg they
went by rail to Hamburg, and from thence to
London, by the steamer Trident, arriving at St. Ka.
therine's Dock Wharf at 9 o'clock last night. They ar-
rived here this afternoon at five o'clock, and were at once
placed on board the Victory, flag-ship, panding the court-
martial.

The bodies of four of the drowned bad been washed
on shore prior to Lieutenant L'yne leaving the coast.
It is only fair to state that all the officers speak in the
highest terms of the coolness and judgment displayed
by Commander Warr3n under the trying circumstances
of the wreck. It is, however, stated that had the wreck
taken place at night, instead of by day, all hands must
have been lost.
