GREENOCK, SEPTEMBER 9. •
From Mr. Gina, who arrived here on Friday in
the Qiierub, from Quebec, and who was passenger in
the Britannia of Greenock, we learn that she was lost
in a very heavy gale, on the 24th of November last,
on the north-west toast of Newfoundland. As al-
ready mentioned, the whole of the persons on board
were saved, but they were fated to endure the most
extreme hardships, not only Irom the scarcity of pea II
visions, but also irom the intensity of the cold in that
desolate and inhospitable country. It was not till
the I Sth of January they got to a habitation, where'!
they remained till about the middle of June, when
they crossed the Straits of Belleisle to Librador, inl
a boat they had built. After spending a few days
there, preparing for the voyage, they proceeded round
that bleak COAiI, for twenty-two days, when they
reached Quebec. Mr. Gins also mentions the loss
of the Rebecca, Maxwerz, from Quebec to the Me-
diterranean, on the same coast and about the same
time ; crew all perished but one man (Joseph Niel),
who is now a helpless object, with loss of both legs
and arms by the frost.
