loss of the sloop William and Mary, MOBLEY niasicr.
(a regular packet between Bristol and Waterford)
and that out of nearly sixty :ten on board. only 93

nine o'clock on Thursday evening last. The night
was fine, and the wind fair. About eleven o'clock, not far from
the Holmes, whibt the mate was at the helm, and the master
standing near hint on the deck, the vessel struck on a rock called
the Wolf Rock, about three miles N. W. of the Holmes I.ight-
house; she passengers, who had ratted to rest, were quickly
alarmed, and in fiiteen minutes afterwards, it wasfounil that the
vessel was In a sinking state. The scene which immediately fol-
lowed was dreadful in the extreme. The boat, a very small one,
was soon filled, chiefly by the crew, and put off for the Wel.h
shore, and in a few minutes afterwards the vessel sunk. Her
top-mast remained some feet above the water. to whirls the crew
adhered until the boat returned. Our informant Lived himself
14y/rimming, aid was actually two hours and a half in the
water, when be was taken into the boat. He witnessed the.
heart-rending scene wlllch took place on the sinking of the ves-
sel. A Mr.llarron, his Mother, and four sisters, etes;mt and ac.
complished women, (who bad their man servant and a carriage
on board) were among the pa .4engers—ths cries of the young'
ladies were most distressing! they all perished in each other's arms.
Li.wenant Theballier, of the sash regiment was saved, but his
Lady perished. All the tams es on board, tweistystwo in number,
and two children, met a watery grave. Eight of the ladles were.
cabin psmengers. 'the Master, Mr. Murky, was drowned; he
h2s lett .a.wlTe, (now pregnant) and three children. 'the rest of
the crew were saved. The GetVictb,iil limn whom we have pro-
cured these hasty particulars. states, that before he was taken up
by the boat, he saw Mr. gamin near him in the water. Ile 'tn.
deavoured to cheer him; he however had only strength It-ft to
answer, in a faint voice, " I can go no farther!' and sunk, to
rise no more. Our informant thinks there were about finetii
cabin passengers, and about forty in the steerage. In the
