derN, and said, " C'ert um grand meprit !"--Captlin

MELANCHOLY ACCOUNT.—The Adamant, Hen-
Lev, of Newcastle, sailed on the 26th of July, 1810,
from Oban, ir. Scotland, with 80 passengers and their
luggage, for Prince Edward's isllad, where she ar-
rived, after a favourable passage of 49 days, and land
ed them safely. At Pugwash, she took in a cirgo
of timber, and left the island on the 13th October,
the wind being W.N.W. turning to windward in-1
the gut of Casno; where she cast anchor. On
the 15J1, weighed at five A. M. win.' variable, and
got to the mouth of the gut that night, when it came
on to blow very hard from N.E. with very foggy
weather. On the I.9th, the storm increasing, the
vessel unfortunately upset, and remained about 20
minutes with her masts in the water, when she righted
as far as the lee-edge of the deck, her larboard gunwale
remaining constantly under. The boats and other
things on the deck were swept away ; the sea being
very high, hard a free passage down the hatchways,
and washed the provisions out of the cabin windows.
The crew, IS u. numbs , were all lashed, and had
nothing to subsist „on bat a little raw beef (of which
they were each allow. : two ounces per day) and a
snub qoantityof rum. The water-casks being all stove
by the vioient motion of the vessel, they were obliged
to drink their own urine. By the '23d, four of the crew
had rif serably .perished, and were thrown into the
sea. On the 24th they came within sight of land,
which proved to be Sable Island, on the cuter bar
of which; ga. The north side, the vessel struck, about
2 P. M. that day.: she lost her rudder, but did not
go to pieces. - Here dry remained two days longer.
On • the 28th, War snore of the crew died.—
'fbe people. of the island appeared with a boat on
the 26th, Which kad been brought overland in a cart,
for their relief. They were conveyed to a house two
miles from the shore, and received very proper treat-
Inent. Milk was the first thing given to them, and in
a week they recovered their strength. The four dead
bodies, left in the ship, were brought there the next
day, and were decently interred in one grave, and an
inscription placed thereon. Those who died were—
John Tosh, belonging to Dundee, aged 18 ; William
Snaith, Ballast-hills, Newcastle, 12 ; John Cutter,
Felling-shore, 16; James Cowens, London, 12; James
Burrell ( the cook), Gatehead, 50 ; Wm. Carmichael,
carpenter, Ballasthills, 32 ; D. Bell, Glasgow ; Dan.
Smith, St. Anthon's,Newcastle,l2. The last four were
buried ashore. Three of the survivors, viz. John
Short, of the Felling Shore, mate ; Thos. Chicken, of
Newcastle; and .Tames Spence, of Strom ness (Orkney )
arrived at Shields last week in the Free Briton. They
left the island the 23d of June, alter haling lived there
more than seven months. The other two, Mr. Thos.
Ridley, the owner, and the Captain, put to sea from
the island in an open boat, a considerable time before
them, and being taken up by some ship at sea, got
home some time since. Sable island was settled by the
Governor of Halifax about 10 or 11 years ago ; but
there were not more than eight persons LA% on it
when the crew left it.
