Per:saxes, May I.—Friday, the Birmingham, of Sv:anera,
left that harbour, with the Captain, his wife, and a child, aged
six years, two seamen, and two stout young men on board.—
Dunn, who is lost, was father to Janie, Dunn, one of the survi-
vors. Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, the vessel hauled
round the Land's-end, bound for Havre-de-Grace. The wind
was blowing pretty strong from the N. E. The Captain must
have fancied himself to have been steering outside the Rundle-
stone, a very dangerous sunken rock, between the Longship
Light-house, and Mount-bay; but about five the same morning,
the brig struck, and in five minutes she went dcnivn, head fore-
most, when every person perished, but two young men, Dunn
and havis. They saw the Captain and hie wife run on deck,
with the child, just as the vessel struck ; Dunn was close to her,
but when the vessel struck the young men ran up the rigging,
and, when the vessel went down, they seized seine spars, that
providentially floated near them, and supported themselves en
these for about an hour, until a boat from a brig picked them up.
They were shortly afterwards taken on shore by a fishing-boat,
belonging to Mousehole.
