INHUMAN CONDUCT 'I'C►WARDS TIIE CREW OF A

ERCIIANT BRIG.

Early on Wednesday morning, the 29th ult.,
the brig Rebecca. JAMES RICHARD:4)H, Master, of
Newcastle, Iratetr With provisions, corn, Sec,, from
Belrrst, and bound to Portsmouth, was run ford
at in the Channel by a large ship running before
a g:4le of wind ; the brig received 11. e ship on her
larlo4ard quarter, and from the violence of the
shock was laid on her heam-ends, in which stare
she lay a full quarter of an hour, entangled with
the ship, %\ hose crew Captain HICHARDSOW re-
Peilfedly and constairtly hailed, requesting them
to bark their awls, and assist them, ss
they had sustained considerable damage ; he, how-
ever, hailed to no purpose, for they had no sooner
tleared themselves of the brig than they pursued
their coarse, without lending any assistatice, or
even makiog any answer whtn called on to give
the !Janie Of their ship, or the pmt from whence
they sailed, or •,‘ here the.), were bound for. The
brig soon mitt righted, when is was discovered
I6t t tvo me!, had been knocked overboard, and
were drowned ; they were forced by the shock of
the ships seprsratnig front the topgallant-yard, •
where they %vete banding ihe sails, and not being '
c,b=crled ita the confusion,' the unfortunate men
lost their lives ; ;he Captain had nearly shared the
same fare, having been thrown with great vio. '
lence against the sea rails ;—the vessel was now
sn,king water taut, which stood in the hold to the
depth of four feet, hot by the great exertions
of the crew, and two or three passengers on

afloat till she arrived off Brighton, where, tat pre-. !
-vent her sinking, she was run ashore at 1 P. M.
lite next day. The brig was then hauled on one
side, am! some of the cargo remove: ; the car.
'pettier loosely caulked her seams that were open,
stilt a. view of ;,etting her off the next tide,
Which, with the assistance from on shore, was
*limed ; she was next day veered into harhour
-at Yarmouth, where she now lies to undergo re-
pair. The Captain, in his protest, say., that the
above transaction, which occasioned hiin so much
clanger and difficulty, ant: deprived Iwo teen of
their lives, cannot be attributable to accident,
lout design, as it could easily have been avoided,
if the ship had sheet n the least dispesitiou to-
• "-aids assisting hint to escape when he hailed,
and apprised their of the perilous situation in
nb,ch he was placed. The greatest praise is rice
to the Captain and his crew for their perseverance
saving the cargo and the brig.
