LOSS OF THE sHEMELD STEAM.

- ~--

. .
. .
FROM Tilt BELFAST NIB'S LETTER. .
We regret to announce the loss if the S':effield, itse
of the Dublin Company's finett ateam-boat-. The Shef=
field sailed (torn Literpnol no Monday, at half-past
three o'clock, with a valuable cargo and teve..teen
steerage and four csbin passenger., beside- the crew of
the vet el. She tad made a tapid passage in cornea
qUence of the wind being favourable.; indeed. it is
psubable that the wind and tide had dr,ve het nearer
to the Irish coast than Captain Ricl•ards was war-
ranted in supposing. About five o'clock on 'filet-
day morning the vessel set uck ter•h her boas on a
sunk-n rock, and in a hew gni tit the rudi'er, w i:eel,
&c. were shattered to pieces. At this time it yeas
quite dark and foggy. The Carta;n was not exartiy
aware a what part of the coast they trete or, and this
circumstance f course added to the general consteti a•
lion that prevailed nn boiled. But in to &sold end
trying a *kis:stints evvy one behaved the geset
coineo.ure and proptiety. Not a complaint to r 4
murmur itsued from a perms on board; even the
women calmly tetigned themtels es to the consequences
which might follow. I i this situation the vessel con-
tinued to Insrig on by the head, with * heavy surf
breaking over her, till a little past ciAlit o'clock, tel en
Captain Richards found thi y had st uck on the Scull.
Mrttin R icks. off Ballywal ei, also. t a mile and a half
from land. Immediately on the accident occurring,
blue lights were hoisted, so that the I.eisp!e on slime
were prepared to put off tr their relief at day-break.
About half past eight the coast guard boat, and ot')ers
belonging to the those, apreared a if the rock on which
the Sheffi Id was now fit mly wedge!. Toe coxwain of
terguard, in a g.ilant malner, flung him elf into
tit) b ilt..g scot, swam to the sucks, and cambered rarer
the tugged stilfice, till he reached the vette!. Odor
brute' ha I also arrived from B Ily wake., arid artaug,.
m nts were weedily made for getting th-• passengers
ashr.r... Aa ar was riAge.l to rem h from the vessel to
the rock; and hawsers were castled ..ut and passed over
the numerous tI e sea dashing frightfully
thre.ugh the ravines which intersected is surface. The
females were buckled on the backs of the men, and each
passenger swung himself by the lope, and thus strug-
gled through gullet' alter gulley, till all ri ached the
boa's. TI e Captain and part of the crew ter ained on
b ,atd till the boats returned from larding the entire
passenger , who were kindly and Lehi itably received by
the goo' people f 134 lywalter.
In norising the admitable presence of mind evinced
by Captain Richards, and every noble fellow f his
crew, under one of the most toting ciscunist •nses in
ah;cll brave men could be placed, it would be u• just
not to n.ention the conduc• of the Steward. Iliredless of
himself, he us, d the mist extraorshriary ezest oils to
ink out for every article of pr• pricy that belonge'd to
both passengers and crew ; then, and not till then, did
the poise le low recollect that he sat raprising himself
to -all the horn( rs of tie torero bateLesded ! His con-
duct is wi.rthy of the highest coninutodition. Soon after
the vessel struck, the hltie ligl is gate notice to tl o e
on shore that a vesi. I was on the socks ; and a stressenol
was instantly dispa.clied to Belfast, with iutelliges ce
of the event to the agent for Lloyd's. The agent tot the
Seam bo t Company, however. iromediiitely, proceeded
to B illy waiter, and arrived there abo.4 'tan e'cl.ck.
Before leasing Befaut he ordered that the Shat suck
• pr .coed, the moment she had stitlici tit aat r, to
the sot on ah ich the Sheffield sas a :et keit, to len-
der every assistance in picking up the goeds.. The
vessel is an ent.re suck, and ye feat but Irate of her
• u ible cargo will Le saved. The cabin cassengets
lost all tunic luggage; the deck passengers had little
hut what they were able' to wrap about their terrons.
%Ye have been misused that there is nut the ste-Ostest
blame to he attached to Caesain Richards, nor any on
board, for watt of nautical skill; they hel'aved gal.
la.itly, and like brave seal et. The morning was
foggy, and the sessel had most assuredly. ouuuti her
calculations.
