been indulging himself over his bottle; and when
the passengers questioned him as to their safety, he
pettishly answered " there is no danger." Things
continued in this state for some time, the vessel
still making little progress, and being in sight of
Great Ormshead. The passengers were told by the
captain, that, on rounding the point, they would be
in smooth water. The engine began to work very
slowly for want of a requisite supply of steam, and.,
sometimes stopped entirely ; evidently from the
neglect or inability of the fireman to keep the
steam up ; and such was the frightful pitching and
robing of the vessel that the jib sail was hoisted
for the purpose of staying it, which was in some
measure effected. The shades of evening were
approaching, dangers seemed to thicken around
them, and the fears of the unfortunate passengers
increased with their perils. After consulting to-
gether a few minutes, a number of them deputed
Mr. Terry to request that the captain would either
return to Liverpool, or run into the nearest place of
safety that presented itself. He treated their fears
with contempt, and we are informed on one occa-
sion, in answer to a question as to the means of
safety, he replied, ironically, " if you are fright-
ened, go to prayers." Up to this time they had
been contending against a strong head wind, and a
tempestuous sea. To trim the vessel the passen-
gers were frequently ordered to move from one side
to the other, and sometimes this was effected by
drawing a box containing a heavy chain from side
to side. Some person told the captain there was
water in the hold, and he immediately ordered all
hands to the pump; and the passengers, who
were sickly and scarcely able to stand, excited by
their fears, took their turns at it, but all to no
purpose ;—the pump was out of repair, and very
soon became choked and totally useless. Mr. John
Duckworth, of Edenfield, seeing this, after work-1
ing the pump himself, which required the united
exertions of three ordinary men, endeavoured to
obtain buckets to bail with, but was told there was
not one on board; the only one they had brought
out of Liverpool having been lost by the culpable
carelessness of a sailor. His exertions to obtain
vessels of any description to bail with were com-
pletely uusuccessfol, and he called out to the pas-
sengers, " Gentlemen, use your hats, or we shall
be all lost." Mr. Terry and others were pacing
the deck, with feelings not easily_ to be conceived,
and some person, with a strong Welsh accent, ex-
claimed, " Good Goo ! we shall all be lost !"
The fires under the engine boilers were almost
extinguished by the water Rowing among the
coals and ashes, and the engine rendered com-
paratively useless. The vessel drifting towards
the Dutchman's Bank, the fore part of the keel
grazed on the sands, on which the captain ordered
the passengers aft, and cried out, " reverse the
paddles," and directed other means to get her off
the bank, but to no purpose. The succeeding
waves forced her still further on the bank, and the
engine, for want of steam, had not the power to
give the paddles sufficient motion. This is stated
to correct the erroneous account, in some of the
papers, that the Rotbsay Castle was driven on the
bank with a " tremendous crash." The pitching
of the vessel ceased ; she began to roll from side
to side ; and the situation of the passengers be-
came
perilous and alarming in the extreme. Con-
sternation was depicted on every countenance, and
the most courageous, now partook of the general
alarm. After several times rocking, from windward
to leeward, the large chimney broke from its
fastenings, and, together with the main mast, fell
with a tremendous crash. The stook., ashes, soot,
and sulphur from the chimney, were thrown on the
leeward passengers, in quantities almost sufficient
to produce suffocation. The cries, terrific screams,
and agonizing exclamations, of the unfortu-
nate sufferers, no words can convey any idea of.
—At this time, Mr. Whittaker asked the captain if
he had any means of making signals of distress?
He replied not. Mr. Whittaker asked him if he
had a gun ? He replied, " no." Have you a
leathern ? said Mr. Whittaker, and to this question
the captain said, " no;"—although Mr. %Chitta-
ker, not an hour previous, had a person on deck,
connected with the vessel, collecting the copper
TOKENS, with a lan'horn in his band. On Mr.
Whittaker asking him,—what could be done ? he
merely replied," We shall be assisted from shore;"
and seemed quite stupid and inactive. The sea,
at this time, was breaking away the weather boards
to windward, and making its way over midships.
The ship's bell was rung till the clapper broke, and
a passenger, as a last resource. proposed a simul-
taneous shout, in the faint hope of making them-
selves heard on shore ; but the roaring of the sea,
and the crashing of the timbers, rendered their
efforts abortive. The unfortunate sufferers, d•iven
to despair, clung to each other, and to such pa: is of
the vessel as seemed likely to afford the means of
averting their threatened fate, but those who clung
to the lee side were swept off with the weather
boards and precipitated into the sea, 20 or 30 at
a time, and the numbers on deck soon appeared to
be considerably diminished : numbers we: iron their
knees, and in other attitudes, giving vent to the
most piteous cries for mercy and help, and, with
the cry and prayer on their lips, were driven
into the sea. Mr. Terry and the whole of his
family, and a female servant, being in midships,
disappeared amongst the number. To stay longer
in midships now appeared impcssible ; the weather
boards, with the exception of a snuill,portion close,
to the puddle-box, to which Mr. Whittaker clung,
were torn away ; the rising tide rendered these si-
tuations dangerous in the extreme, and threatened
soon to overflow the more elevated portions of the
vessel. The must yet remaining, paddle-boxes,
quarter-deck, and every part of the vessel that
from its elevated situation afforeed the means of
averting for a few moments the final extinctions of
life, were all crowdedly occupied. Mr. Whittaker
had divested himself of his clothes, that they might
not impede his progress in swimming which now
appeared the only resource that held out any hope
of escaping with life. His little son and nephew,
notwithstanding all his exertions had been pre-
viously washed away. At this time a gentleman
from Bangor left the vessel, with a small barrel
tied beneath his chin, and an unbrella in his hand,
which he unfurled when he got into the water,
in the hope of being drilled on shore in time
to send some aid to his fellow-sufferers.
Of his fate Mr. Whittaker is ignorant. Iro-
•amediately after this a young man who had pos-
session of a bass drum requested Mr. W. to take
hold of the corner of one side of it whilst he held
by the other, and endeavour to float to the siege.
Mr. Whittaker declined to do this ; —seeing that
the young man was lighter than himself he consi-

dered that his own weight would preponderate and
that both must be drowned. The young man then
induced another person to jet hold of the deep
they took the sea together. They were slip
unequal weight and thetefore unable to
,preserve
its equilibrium, and they consequently bath fell •
sacrifice to the experiment ere they had floated
many yards from the vessel. We state this cir-
-1 cumatance to correct a false statement which ap-
peared in some of the papers, of a musician being
saved by the drum. Mr. Whittaker saw both the
unfortunate men perish and the drum float away
after they bad relinquished their hold of it, and it
was afterwards seen by Mr. Nuttall floating on the
ihrface of the water, with one of its ends driven in,
and no person near it. At this time Mr. Wilkin-
son, house joiner, of Bury, and several others, en-
deavoured to keep themselves on deck by clinging
to a strong iron bar extending across the vessel
from one paddle box the other. Mr. Whittaker
thinking the bar more secure than the shattered
weather board, relinquished it and took hold of the
bar also. But so precarious was this situation,
that every succeeding wave of the still rising tide
lifted them from their feet, and so distressed their
bonds and wrists that one after another was com-
pelled to relinquish his hold, till Mr. Whittaker
and Mr. Wilkinson alone were all that were left on
the bar. A heavy swell of the sea drove Mr.
Whittaker through the paddle wheel casing, and
between the iron arms of the leeward wheel
into the lien. He left Mr. Wilkinson fer-
vently petitioning heaven for mercy, and saw
him no more. Mr. Whittaker seized a piece 1
of the wreck, on which be supported himself. 1
A few minntes afterwards he was fortunate enough
to get hold of a spar, which, with considerable dif.
ficulty, he placed under the board be had previously
obtained, in the form of a cross. Supported by
this hastily-formed raft he was driven out to sea,
whcre he was picked up about ten o'clock in
the morning of the following day, by Ralph Wil-
liamson, Esq. perfectly blind. This humane gen-
tlemen on hearing of the dreadful disaster which
had befallen the Rothsay Castle, immediately
manned two boats belonging to his Schooner, then
laying in Beaumaris Bay (one of which he took
the command of himself), and they were the
means of saving two persons from a watery grave.
Mr Whittaker was taken on board the Schooner,
rubbed e ith cloths, wrapped up in flannel, and
vessels containing hot water were applied to his
feet; his eyes bathed with cold cream, and treated
with the greatest kindness and attention until his
recovery. Through this humane treatment, the
following day he was enabled to go on shore to
meet his sister who had also been picked up from
part of the wreck.

Previous to leaving the schooner, the gentlemen
on board kindly furnished him with clothes and
money to carry him home. Mr. Williamson, had
on board as guests, Cl.arles Williams, Esq. Cap-.
airs Colquit, Esq. R. N. and Mr. Carey, who,
with Mr. Aidey, muter, and the whole of the
crew of the schooner, vied with each other in acts
of kindness; and Mr. Whittaker speaks of them
all in the warmest terms of gratitude, and con-
siders that, under Providence, be owes his pro-
longed existence to their kind care and skilful
treatment. Mr. Whittaker was much bruised by
being tossed in the wreck and after he had left
it, but we are happy to say he is now at home,
and enabled to attend to his business.
Mr. Wilkinson, of Bury (another of the unfor-
tunates). when the danger became known, was
one of the most active in endeavouring, by his
personal exertions, to avert the threatening ca-
lamity, and by his example and advice, endea-
voured to cheer the drooping spirits, and stimulate
to exertion his companions in misfortune. He
was a strong active man ; cool and courageous in
the midst of danger, and a good swimmer, so
much so, that when it became known in Bury
that he was on board of the unfortunate vessel,
many of his acquaintance in that town calculated
on his escape as almost a matter of certainty.
But it is supposed that he had so far exhausted
his strength by previous exertions, that his worn-
out energies were unable to sustain the last dread-
ful conflict, and he perished. His body has been
discovered, and was interred on Tuesday last.
Miss Whittaker, Miss Lamb, and Mr. Nuttall,
druggist, all of Bury, and several others, after be-
ing washed from the midships, succeeding in re-
gaining the quarter-deck after almost superhuman
exertions, and when the vessel broke up were
driven about at the mercy of the wind and sea on
that fragment of the wreck. Miss Whittaker, in
struggling for her safety, had all her clothes with
the exception of her stays, petticoat, and chemise
torn from her person. Towards morning she gave
up her petticoat, and it was held up by some of
the men, in the hope that the wind would drift
them to the shore, and after serving the purpose
of a sail, it was torn into strips and hoisted on
the top of a spar they had fortunately picked up.
To their great relief the signal was not hoisted in
vain—it was seen from the shore and a boat im-
mediately put off, and succeeded in releasing them
from their perilous situation.
Mr. Whittaker, and every person we have
seen, ascribes this most melancholy disaster to the
folly of the Captain and the bad state of the
vessel. To use his own words, " the whole bad-
ness possessed not one single redeeming feature."
" Never, said he, " did a party set out worse
prepared for a disaster. A crazy vessel, crowded
with passengers unaccustomed to the sea; a
drunken captain ;—a crew, careless, or as bad as
the captain, and too few in number ;—a pump
crazy as the vessel,—not a gun on board,—no
visible means of hoisting a signal by night,—and
a boat in character with all the rest." We hope
the Legislature will interfere to prevent for the
future such a reckless spurting with human life.
Out of twenty-seven persons healthy in body and
buoyant in spirits, who went on this ill-fated ex-
cursion from Bury and the neighbourhood, five
only are returned to tell the dismal tale of the
horrible sufferings and fate of their lost friends and
dearest relatives. They all unite in stating that
the scene w as so terrific that the bare thought of it
yet makes them shiver, and Mr. Whittaker says,
" people may read of shipwrecks, or hear them de-
scribed, but those who have not seen one know
nothing about them."

to our great joy, we sailed dews the river, every one on

the journey, with the andeet of the ogee* and the way

we were making so little way, and the Osmes Mad In view at
a &tame of eight or ten miles. At this time the care
alarm pervaded every breast on board, as the sea
still more rough, and the wind was blowing a heavy plc
at last we arrived of the last-mentioned place about tea
o'clock, the moon dim ng, and the clouds gathering
with blackness ng a skater storm, and the captain
getting less atientive to the important duties of his trust.
Here, the worst of all, became more and more apparent;
the wheels scarcely turned round, and water was, in spite
of exertion, putting out the fire in the engine oen, sod
I rolling backwards and forwards in the gentlemen's cabin a
considerable depth. Every eye now became open to le
inevitable destruction which awaited us, and all our appre-
hensions, in • moment, became confirmed, by the vessel
striking upon the sands, and by which, no doubt, she was
broken in two. The captain was again importuned to fire
guns and hoist signals of distress but be podtively refused,
saying, we were still afloat. and on our way. However,
finding ourselves once more deceived by his false pretences,
the passengers rung the bell, much against his wish, the only
means in their power to give any alarm; but it was sea.
veiling, and we remained in this situation on the sands,
about two hours.

When .this time bad nearly expired upon the sands,
the chimney came down, with a tremendous mush,
upon the mast and broke it, and in a few minutes after
as suddenly as the irruption of a voices°, the vessel
was severed into numberless parts, and we were all pre-
cipitated into the stream. It is needless for me to at.
tempt to describe a scene, the very idea of which must make
even those uninterested to shudder. The screams of pa-
rents far their families, and children for their parents, were
truly bears-rending. Being thus precipitated into the
ocean, I attempted to. descend with my wife in my arms,
thinking that I could find the bottom, but finding we were
in deep water, I immediately threw myself into a floating
posture, when I out. in fall contact with a piece of timber
that drove my hat completely over my eyes. I threw it of
immediately, and seised hold of the &sting plank, which
was attached to some other part of the wreck
is by a rope.
when I said to my wife, 4' hly dear, deliverance iscome to
hand, and we mast use every exertion to save ourselves."
I instantly got upon the plaak, and my wife likewise, but
hell no sooner done this than a mighty wave drove us of
again. Recovering, however, from the shock, we made
a similar attempt, and with equal emcees, when im-
mediately a succeeding wave, more dreadful Am the other,
washed us of again. Although exhaustion hot outsider.
ably taken place with myself, and there can be DO doubt
even more so with my unfortunate wife, I seised her by the
right hand with my left, and she, finding that all attempts
for her delivers:tamest be unavailing, cried out" Save your.
self ! save yourself ! save yourself! for the sake of the chil-
dren !" when another wave, more merciless than the rest,
separated us for ever I Seeing no possible chance, and scarce-
ly knowing where to look, I was left to myself, compelled
to obey her tender injunction when, looking around me, I
saw part of the wreck considerably elevated above the sur-
face of the water, to which I made my way, by the assist-
ance of the piece of timber that had been so serviceable hi-
then°. Arriving at the wreck, I attempted to get upon it,
but at that time the waves broke furiously over it, and I was'
once more driven back into the sea, and despaired fora con-1
aiderable time of ever being able to gain the surface of the
wreck. At length. however, by the assistance of a merciful
Providence, and extreme exertion, I succeeded, but hs se
enfeebled a

strength, while the g
sea me with the utmost
violence. Being a little recov I bawd a female voice,
reaez
saying, several time over. " Will you help_ ,me Sir ?'' which
afterwards proved to be Min Whittaker. Finding the wreck
on which I had got was of tolerably good eke (it afterwards
proved to be the floor over the ladies cabin), I got further on
it, and observed along side of it the engine chimney and the
mast, to which I with a many more closely clung. to save us
from being washed into the gulph beneath, but by-and-bye
parts of the wreck left us piece by piece, till at length our
little bark was left to itself, and welcome day appearing, we
found our thee crew to consist of eight males and one female,
all of whom had great hopes of being delivered from a
watery grave, and being restored their families and Mends
on land. From the dreadful inclemency of the
weather, and from having been in the water this length
of time, and from the morning being still more cold, see
were all in a perishing state until about six o'clock, to which
time we bed waited expecting some one to come to our des'
Bremner i but although we had Isolated a signal of distress.
made of one pocket handkerchief. the only one spared se
the conspann-bettr after bone passed and still ho one came.
Not meeting with deliverance, we set about the attempt foe
ourselves, by braking of span of ward from the raft,which
we used as oars, by which we intended to propel ourselves
to the Welsh shore, from which we might be at that time
front two to three miles. Bet foriumtely for us, for nearly
1 ewe hours we made buclittlefrogress, as we were told after
11 that had we gone muck further we must have been lost. At
this time, about eight o'clock, we were perceived from Beau.
marls, and immedhaely a boat was sent to our rescue, oa see.
Ins which we said, 0 The Loan has given us a pat deliver-
ance this day." To the boatmen, who conveyed me and my
forow-salferen on shore,! tender my sincere thanks. When we
' reached the shore, we found a considerable number of benevo-
lent persons awaiting our arrival, who conveyed us without
loss of time to the inn, where every attention was paid
to our wants. To Sir R. Williams Bulkeky, I, and my

appears probable that

seamarkable instance of the tenacity with which man
dings to life. Mr. Henry Hammond, ship carver,
of Liverpool, one of the persons saved, says it is
not true that a party of the passengers got lie() the
boat soon after the vessel struck, and were imme-
diately swamped. The statement that be gives is,
that the boat was hanging by the davits over the
stern, nearly filled with water in consequence of
the spray ; when the vessel struck, he and the wife
and child of the carpenter got into the boat, but
left it again, being ordered out by the mate, who
told them that it was of no use as no boat could
lire in such a sea. The boat soon after broke
adrift, and was lost, but there was no person in
her. Mr. Hammond thinks that there were at
