(precisely on the same spot where the COMIis flid.

drowned before they could get on deck. At day-
light the next morning the mate and four men vo-
lunteered to go on shore to endeavour to prormre
assistance. Immediately on their reaching tl4e.

and Ken succeed in gaining the shore ; but not
being able to procure any assistance, they went"
opposite the, ship, and bailed them to send a rope

by their feet succeeded- in drawing the clog On'
shore, just ou the point of sinking. The master
cif the ship, on board; made a large rope: last to
the small one, which was hauled on slime by the
mate and men : they then rigged a sling with a
block to sit in, by which means all those saved

—a most melancholy even., as site has not a friend
or relation left in the world. Captain and Mrs.
Prime, of the same regiment, were saved, but
lost all their children. Miss Armstrong lost her
rather, mother, brother, and i*o sisters. Mr.
Armstrong was surgeon to the regiment. The
paymaster is also saved, and had tortunated left•
his family at Quebec. Miss Milrea is among the
number eared ; also Captain W'llock, of' the 103,1,
to whom great praise is clue for his exertions in
'conducting the men, and to whom the Ladies! are,
all indebted for their safety. Mr. Groeson, of the
Same regiment, wits also fortunate in gaining the
shore.
