wreck of the llinda.stan Indianian.

I.IIITHER PARTICULARS Or THE LOSS -op -nrt
HINDOSTANI COMMANDED BY CAPTAIN D.
WARD BALSTON, ON THE SANDS OPPOSITE THE
:ELECULYERS.
'Tut tliNdostau had rode the lee-tide out, and in
tending to windward the Pilot thought it necessary
to heave in the cable to prevent the ship tailing
upon the sand. The capstan bars were manned, but
to heaving taught, a violent squall came on, and
taillahip taking a sudden range, the cable parted,
When if' instant she was on shore; letting go
anottFt• anchor would have been useless, even if
there had been ,a possibility of doing it. It soon
i)ccfiime evident that no prove& remained of saving
the ship, and a great doubt even if the lives of the
unPtitunate crew could be. preserved. The boats, ,all
except the launch, were hoisted our, and before that
could be done, the main and mizen masts went by the
board : the cutters weer, soon stove against the ship
by the violence of the sea, and the ihip began to
Pajt about the main citains. Every thing that cool
and steady condos}; anti intrepid seamanship could
pet €orm, was accomplished by Capt. BAIA-rots : he
diretle.l- the people to ascend. the fore.rigging, as
the only dunce left of preserving their lives I while
wish a chosen band he employed himself in endea.

/Mtiring to form a raft for the iineial safety ; many
were washed from the raft and drowned, and seve-
ral were frozen to death in the rigging, two boats
at length ventured from the 'shore to their assist_
ante; by which niost of the Crew were saved. Mr.
Ttritrica, the second Officer, and 20 men, Were
the last who left the ship ; too Much praise cannot
be given to this Officer, by whose directions and
aitivity the lives of many were saved ; and who
stopped by the 'remnant of the men to cheer and keep
up their spirits till the boats returned a second time
from the shore. At this period they were in mo-
mentary expectation of perishing, as the ship had
parted in three pieces, and the sea was making an
entire breach over her. 'The Hindman WaS the full
size of a 74. gun ship, and mounted 38 eighteen_
pounders. When the last account arrived, little of
the wreck was above the water, and the sea ran so
hollow, that with the shifting of the sands it is
thought none of the treasure or materials can be
saved. In the midst of this unhappy business it is
a great consolation to reflect, that not the smallest
blame attaches to any soul on board, but on the
contrary, every praise is due for their great and in-
defatigable exertions, and steady, seaman-like, and
gallant conduit during the Whole of this trying and
unfortunate scene; and it is not doubted but the
East India Company, with their usual liberality,
will take the case of the unfortunate sufferers into
their consideration.
