DISASTERS AT SEA

Loss OF AN EAST INDIAMAN.—LEWES, Monday.—From the
letters received here this morning, it appears there has been a
dreadful storm along the south-east coast. On Saturday night,
the 27th instant, the gale increased to a perfect hurricane, and
several vessels were damaged doubling Beachy Head, About
one o'clock on Sunday morning, a large Dutch East Indiaman,
name unknown, came ashore on the coast off Pevensey, a little
to the north-east of the Head, the wind blowing tremendously,
and the sea unning mountains high. Eighteen of the crew, out
of two or three and thirty on board, succeeded in landing in
their own boat, and it appeared, from their statement, that the
ship was bound from Batavia to Amsterdam, laden with a valu-
able cargo cf coffee, sugar, and indigo. The greatest apprehen-
sions were entertained for the captain of the vessel, who, steady
to the trust reposed in him, remained on board with the mate
and twelve or thirteen of the crew ; but it was not until Sunday
forenoon that any assistance could be afforded them. Their
situation during that dreadful night, on such a shore, with a
gale from Vie S.S.W., and the sea continually breaking over
their illfa'.ed vessel, was truly awful. In the forenoon of Sunday
however, a small p'easure-boat belonging to Pevensey, named
the Rebecca, manned by two pilots, named Pierce and Wood,
and three of the coast-guard, named Oliver, Warnell, and
Plem:ng, put off to the assistance of the crew of the East India-
man, and succeeded in reaching her, from the violence of the
gale, however, and the sea continually breaking over the wreck,
they were unable to effect their purpose, of bringing off the
captain and the remainder of the crew ; but, with determined
perseverance, they lay by watching fora favourable opportunity.
This, however, did not speedily; occur, and about eleven the
life-boat from Eastbourne went to assist her. After a consider-
able delay, the remainder of the crew, with the master, were
taken on board the boat, with the exception of one poor fellow
who Was lashed to the rigging, and whom it was impossible to
save. It is some consolation to believe, from the appearance of
the man, and the p sition of his limbs, that he was dead when
the life-boat reached the vessel. Having been landed in safety,
it is gratifying to state that the poor fellows were supplied with
every necessary by two of the railroad contractors on the Lewes
and •Hastings line; the officers and men at the coast-guard sta-
tion also ren 'erin.; every assistance.
During the'gale of Saturday evening last, the schooner Sarah
and Mary. Edwards, master, laden with pipeclay, bound from
Poole to Liverpool, was driven on the L .van Sands opposite
Beaumaris, and instantly sank. The crew having passed the
night in the rigging, were rescued, on the following morning,
from their perilous situation.
LOWESTOFT, Dec. 25.—0 n Monday, Lieutenant Roberts, R.N.,
commander of the Victoria, revenue-cutter, picked up at sea, a
Southwold pilot-boat, dismasted, with nine men in her. The
sea was running so high at thu time, that the pilot-boat
foundered immediately after the men were token out of her.
The poor fellows. thus saved from being wrecked, were landed

DISAPPEAriACICWT;;eAISSONT ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.
—The following is the copy of a letter sent to Mr. Bush, C.E..
Deariford ;—" Dear sir,—Since I last wrote to you reporting
your light.house on the Goodwin Sands being all right, I am
sorry to inform you that (this morning) I have had a good op-
portunity cf viewing the sands, th Downs being clear of ship.
ping, but your lighthouse has disappeared. From the circum-
stance of their being a large fleet of vessels in the Downs,
together with a thick atmosphere, I have not been able to see it
since Friday last, and, therefore, I cannot exactly say when it
fell.—l am, sir, &c., W. B. Dean."—Dover Chronicle.
