MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.
Cstaseeszon, JOLT zo.—The schooner Eliza, Captain Casey.
arrived last evening from Newborn, brought in part of the passim.
gets, together with Captain Delano, and part of the crew of th
sloop Falcon. which was wrecked on Cape Lookout Shoals, on
the night of the 14th instant, from whom we learn the following
paniculars :—" The Falcon sailed from Savannah on the lath inst.
bound for New York, having on board a cargo of cotton and rice,
and stz passengers. Oa the 14th, at 11 o'clock p.m. the vessel
struck on the outer shoal of Cape Lookout, and bilged. The sea
beat her over into deep water, where all sail was made far the
land, the crew employed in throwing overboard every thing they
could get at, the vessel sinking fast. Captain Delano, to save the
lives of the Lady-paseenggrs, gave permission to them to take the
boat, with two hands, ana, if possible, procure assistance from the
shore; but the panic became so great, that instead of eight persons
going in the boat, the following persons jumped on board—viz.
Mr. Colt, Lady, and child, of F.asthaven, Connecticut ; Mr. Fort
and Lady, of Milledgeville, Georgia; Mr. Little and Lady, of
Savannah; Mrs. Dsgkerty, of Ireland; Mr. W. Scott, of New-
haven, Connecticut; Mr. Brown, mate of the sloop- Wiscasset;
and Thomas, a youth of about 15 years of age, of Cbarifello, who
was working his passage, and had been employed in lane of the steam
boats between this city and Augusta. In about a quarter of an
hour after the boat left the vessel, the sloop filled and capsized, the
persons on board sustaining themselves by the rigging, the sea
breaking over them in this situation. Attempts were made to
snake a raft of the quarter boards, but they not being sufficient. it
was abandoned. The only recourse left was to stay by the door
and sink with her, or attempt to swim to the shore, six miles dis-
tant, both of which were alike desperate. Under the latter idea,
most of the persons on board threw off their clothes, and were
severely burnt by the sun next day. During the time they were in
this situation they were much bruised by the wasting of the sea.—
At one o'clock p.m. on Sunday, the remaining persons nn board—
viz. Mr. James Ferse and son, of Barnwell, South Carolina; Mrs.
Catherine Lambs, of Ireland; Captain Macey, late of the ship
Commerce, of New York ; Mr. H. Prescott, of Newhaven, Con-
necticut; John Cany, of Ireland; John Gready of ditto; Patrick
M'Cater, of ditto ; Lewis Cat ter, of Philadelphia ; and James Her-
ron, oi Ireland, (the latter died on board the Eliza, on the 111th);
Captain Delano, of the sloop Falcon. Arthur Delionald, Josiah
Briggs, and Joseph Raymond, a black man, seamen; Benjamin
Ross, black, cook ; and George, a black boy, were taken Of the
Wreck by the schooner Eliza. At the time the boat left the Falcon,
the light-house was in sight, and which those on board probably
endeavoured to reach. Captain Casey informs us, the shore is so
very difficu
boat perished. lt to land uon, that there is every reuses to fear aff on
board the When left tie wreck, she was almost
entirely under water."
