SHIPWRECKS

The following is an account or the shipwreck of the ship
William, Sutherland, master, which sailed Ifoin Liverpool on
the Ilth of August, bound to New Orleans :—On the 29th of
September, in the morning, in lat. 24. 51; long. 74. 52: en-
countered a severe gale from the eastward. At -3 p. in: on
the Ist of October she struck on the breakers, on the west.
side of Abico, about a mile and a half from the shore, and
21 miles north of the liole-ia• the-Wall ; immediately cot
away all her three masts, and launched the small boat•oo the
• racks: the after-part oft he ship immediately went to pieces;
the forward part, from the main hatchway, still remaining on
the rocks. All hands remained on the rocks until the return
of day-light, when the mate and seven of the crew landed
safe on the shore of Airier); but the sea ran. so high•we could
not return to the wreck; we made two attempts, but to no
effect, the captain and six men still remaining on the wreck.
Abbot 2 P. Ai. six men made then escape on a raft, and
reached the shore, where we. all remained till Monday Morn-
ing the 2d of October, when.two of the crew started tit look
for sonic inhabitants. At M.A. al. three men came to us from
Sherrickshoro, and furnished its with some provisions. Tues-
day, the .3d, commenced with, light breezes and pleasant wea-
ther ; teen sloops came to.take us and property to Nassau."
On Friday se 'might, the brig Martha, Capt-Nlattin, from
Miramichi, for Glasgow, struck on the west end of the sand-
batik, known by the name of Bobinrig, and was bilged. The
crew, after many ineffectual attempts to tow her to land, were.
obliged to abandon her, 'and got safely ashore at the Carse:
In the meantime the brig drifted„ and, about two o'clock on
Saturday, was stratified about a mile from high-water-mark
on the shallow shore off the Priesiside, on the coast of An-
nandale. • The news of the wreck spread like wildfire, and at
daybreak on Sunday looming the, respectable inhabitants of
that neighhouthmal were astonished, and beyond measure
shucked, to observe her surrounded by a crowd ni; depreda-
tors.. These consisted of the very scion and refuse of this
people, -collected limn the whole adjoining country, whose
numbers and desperate characters rendered it dangerous to
nnerfere with their unprincipled operations. The well.dis-
postal spectators of this scene of robbery were therefore coot
pelted to keep quiet, and suffer the ship to be pillaged before
their eyes of every thing that could be carried off.—(Du2a-
fries Courier.)
The following article contains some farther particulars of
the disasters at Wexford :—" A more violent storm than that
of Friday se'nnight is not in the recollection of the oldest in-
habitant. Several boats at the quay were more or less da-
nitged, and two or three were sunk. In the town tiles and
slates were to be seen in almost every street, and many
chimnies were bltwn down. The soldiers' hospital was al-
most entirely unroofed. The storm raged throughout the
night with unabated fury till about nine o'clock in the in,trn-
lag, when it gradually fell. As it blew: completely on the
coast, the apprehensioas for the safety of whatever vessels
were at sea were, it is our painful duty to state., too well
founded. The most apprehensive mind had not, indeed, an-
ticipated intellit,sence mote afflicting than was received in the
course of, the following day. The Coquette, of and from
Liverpool, Robert Taybe . toaster, bound for the coast of
Africa, and laden with spirits, tobacco, salt, &c., was wrecked,
in the morning, on the Offing Banks, distant between two
and three leagues S. E. of the bar. The crew, consisting of
19 men, took to the long boat, which, on approachiug the
shore, upset, and two sailors only were saved. The Captain
was observed walking, with the water no higher than his
knees, when a tremendous wave carried him off, and be was
seen no more. Two of the bodies have been washed ashore.
One of them is that of the surgeon; but his name is not
-known."—(lreaford Herald.)
