By the arrival of her Majesty's ship Hyacinth from
the Cape of Good Hope, we have advices from the
colony to the 19th of September. The prominent in-
telligence is an account of the wreck of the Aber-
cromby Robinson, and the ship Waterloo in Table Bay,
on the 28th of August—the former with upwards of
500 troops on board, bound for Algoa Bay, and the
latter with upwards of 300 convicts, bound for Van
Diemen's Land. The Abercromby Robinson was for-
'tunately driven ashore on the sandy part of the beach,
which enabled the vessel to hold sufficiently long to-
gether to save every person on board; but the
Waterloo, on being driven from her anchors by the
gale, ran ashore upon the rocks, and the ship went so
Notwithstandingsoon
that every possibks exertion was made
on to pieces that a dreadful catastrophe followed.

assumed that if she had been a stronger ship she would
have held out
There
long for all the people to have
been saved. I.here seems at the same time to have been
a great deficiency of boats calculated to live in such
a tremendous sea as is brought into Table Bay by a
north-west gale.
'the following are extracts of a letter received on
Saturday by, her Majesty's ship Hyacinth, dated
"Cape Town, 29th of August ;"
" I have now to relate one of the most awful events
which has occurred in the memory of the oldest in-
habitant of this town. Saturday night, the 27th
inst., it blew a very heavy gale in Table Bay, which
increased in force until Sunday morning, and about
four o'clock, during the interval of the claps of thun-
der, the inhabitants of Cape Town were aroused by
hearing minute guns of distress from a vessel la the
Bay. I immediately dressed, and proceeded to the
beach, and by the blue lights soon ascertained that
two or three vessels were ashore at the head of the
Bay, close upon Salt River. It was raining in
torrents—the forked lightning was blinding—
(
the thunder was stunning—it was as dark RS
pitch. The distance of Salt River from Cape
Town is between two and three miles, and upon my
arrival, day was fast breaking. Although so early,
I found numbers of people assembled, and at about
six o'clock it was ascertained that the name of the
unfortunate vessel was the Abercrombie Robinson,
1,415 tuns, from London, with 500 rank and file of
her Majesty's 91st regiment, to relieve the 75th re-
giment, ordered home. She had also on board a band
for the Cape. The Abercrombie Robinson arrived at
Table Bay on Thursday last, and after landing some
of the officers, was to proceed to Algoa Bay to land
the 91st. She was a splendid vessel, fitted up expressly
as a transport ship. About seven o'clock his Excel-
lency Sir George Napier arrived, and the beach
now presented a very animated appearance, every
officer not on duty being present, besides those
of the 91st who had obtained leave to go on
shore. The vessel having been driven on shore at
high water, we soon were able to communicate with.
her; and although this fine ship will become a total
wreck, not a life was lost, and every soldier was
landed during the day. About 300 yards from the
Aberceonible Robinson, was the convict-ship Water-
loo, which had arrived during the week for the pur-
pose of provisioning, on her way to Sydney, with
about 240 male convicts, a guard of thirty soldiers,
five women, and forty-three children—with the crew
about 330 souls. She lay in a very precarious situa-
tion. She was within a very few yards of the breakers,
but it was thought she might hold on until the
weather moderated, when she might be towed off:.
Under this impression the vast Multitude which
had assembled on the spot began to sepa-
rate. About 10 o'clock, however, the Waterloo
gave a sudden lurch, and parted from all her anchors,
and came broadside in amongat the breakers. The
scene which now took place I shall remember to the
day ol7my death. After two or three heavy rolls the
three masts went over the side with a dreadful crash.
The hatches were now opened, and the convicts rushed
on deck. The sea was now inakiug a clean breach
over her. Immediately on the convicts arriving on
deck about 50 jumped overboard; about 15 or 20
gained the shore. Mt remainder were drowned.
The cries of the poor wretches on deck were now
heart-breaking. Each sea, as it made a breach over
the unfortunate vessel, carried a dozen or so into the
water, who, of coarse, were drowned. Thousands of
people were on the beach, but could render not the
least assistance. Oh! it was a dreadful sight. There,
Within a stone's throw, 200 or 300 of our fellow-crea-
tures were drowned before our eyes.
" But now comes the awful part of my tale. About
eleven o'clock, within half an hour after she struck,
the Waterloo parted in two. Some who had never
thought of their God, or if they had, it was only to
take his name in vain and break his laws, were now
seen with their hands clasped, and heard loudly calling
upon Hitrt to save them. Soldiers wives were seen
clasping their little ones to their bosoms in agonies..
One woman I shall never forget, she was holding on,
with one hand, to a piece of plank ; with the other
.she held, pressed to her bosom, a little infant. Her
cries were piteous ; at last a sea came and
washed the woman and the little one off ;
they were seen no more. The water was now full
of the struggling and the dead. A boat was employed.
to pick up all it could. It could not approach the
wreck on account of the heavy sea. I have neither
time or heart to write further particulars. I saw one
man embrace his wife and little one, then jump into
the boiling serf. He never rose again. I could
repeat hundreds of similar occurrences. Suffice it to
say, within an hour and a half of the Waterloo
striking, not a particle of her was to be seen. She
had literally gone to pieces, and, horrible to relate,
out of 330 souls 250 met with a watery grave. It
happened yesterday (Sunday), and while I am
writing, the carts are passing the window crammed
with the dead. The vessel was 27 years old, and
must have been very rotten ; not a life need have
been lost if she had been of ordinary strength."

Letter from the master to the owner of the Aber-
crombie Robinson :

" Cape of Good Hope, Aug. 31.
" Sir,—lt grieves me beyond descriptiono
it has fallen to my lot to relate to u
this to
tale
a lthinly
ye of itbe
wreck of your splendid ship Abercrombie_ Robinson,
near the Salt River, in Tale Bay, on Sunday, the
28th inst., at four a.m. : crew and troops all saved.
We arrived at Table Bay on the evening of the 25th
inst., and anchored with 60 fathom.; of chain on the
larboard bower, at 7h. 30m. p.m. Had a visit from
the port-officer, and communicated with the shore
directly. Fine weather; wind at north, next morn-
ing at daylight still fine weather. We veered out 20
fathoms more chain on the larboard bower, and gave
the ship a broad sheer with the staysail to the east-
ward, and let go another anchor, viz., the starboard
one, and veered away upon both with an open hawse
to the N.E. until the larboard chain was out to the
clinch. We had then 150 fathoms upon the larboard
chain and 70 on the starbbard chain, and made them
both bear alike ; this was all done during fine weather,
to give the anchors time to get well set. We sent the
tvgallant-yards on deck, and struck top-gallant masts,
and re-stowed all the sails afresh, and lashed them.

and we had all hands on shore by four p.m., but the
gale after daylight became comparatively moderate.
At dark the wind and weather was much the same as
at daylight.
" On the 29th, morning, at daylight, we commenc-
tie with the surf boats to land the officers' baggage,
and the baggage of the troops, which we continued at
all day, with the exception of rigging tents on shore
to live in. Tuesday-, the 30th, we were employed as
yesterday with the surf boats and rigging tents on
shore. Had a survey on board. 31st, weather was
moderate and fine; commenced landing baggage. and
her Majesty's stores. Lieutenant Black was still in
atteud::uce, with two naval officers from the Admiral,
on the part of her Majesty. Lieutenant Biagi: still
flies his pennant. It is my intention 'as soon-as her
Majesty s stores are all on shore to offer the ship for
sale, as she now lies, for the general benefit, at least I
have suggested this; and when all is done, I shall
make the best of my way.to London. The Waterloo
parted also, and came on shore within two musket-
,
shots of us, and was an awful sight, near 200 drowned.
