The folloving account: of .a most distressing
Shipwreck was this morning received at Liny d's :
" POnTSMOUTII, MARCH 16.-116 Majesty's ship Monde,
which arrived yesterday, fell in with, on the 7th instant, in
tat. 44. 43. N. long. 21. 57. W., the Frances Mary, of 3110 tons,
KENDAL, Master, of and from New Brunswick, bound to
Liverpool, timber laden (being her first voyage), water-logged,
and a perfect wreck ; took off the Master, his wife, three sea-
men, anti one female passenger, out of a crew of 17. On the
Ist February the Frances Mary experienced a most tremendous
gale of wind from the W.N.W., during which she carried
away her fore-mast, the sea made a complete breach over her,
washed four seamen off the deck, boats, &e. &c.; for twenty.
two days in this horrible condition the unfortunate survivors
supported their wretched existence, by actually feeding on the
dead bodies of those who died on the wreck, when they were
providentially fallen in with by, and rescued from, their horrid
state by his Majesty's ship Blonde. From her Commander,
Lord threo}r, and his Officers, they received the utmost pos.
aible sympathy, and every thing was afforded for their comfort
and accommodation by his Lordship, whose conduct towards
,them, the Captain says, no language on his part is sufficient to
,express ; for had they remained a few hours longer they must
jnevitably have perished, having been brought on board In a
,complete state of exhaustion.
