MELANCHOLY FATE pr THE ADEON.I

TRANSPORT

[MITIIER PARTICTLARS.I

The Aheona Transport of 328 tons, under the charge
of Lieut. Mtnlge, the fate of which we stated yester-
day, a tiled (rims Or et tek, in October last, eii6 set-
tlers for the Cope of Good Ilope.
On the 2:ith of November, about noon, in latitude
4 deg. 30 itt'st. North, and longitude 25 deg. 30 min.
West, the henna unfortunately caught fire, and was
bassi, under ci:cunt•tances of the must awful and die-
tsessing nature. Out of a crew of twenty-one persona,
and one It Aldred and forty-one emigrants, men, wn.
men, and children, making a total of one hundred at.-I
sixty-une persons, only
.forty-rime are saved. Those
are happily all safely landed at Lisbon; and hay:-
subsequently sailed in the Royal Charlotte userrhan:
brig, cur Greens ck, except ten orphan hors. whom the
gentlemen of the 1:. itish Factory, at Lisbon, have
tak .n under their kind protection.
The fire broke out in the after store room, whilsi
the thief-mate was occupied in sonic tietess.kry
ss there; and such was the awful progtess at the
flames, that only three small boats could Le rut over-
board, before the flames consumed the tackles, &c. tie-
r r.. L.:..c..te nut the long boat.
in these three small boats, forry-ntne per.ort• were
received on board, with so scanty a supply of provisions,
that the consequences must have Leen II equally
dremilitl with the ultimate fate of those left un board,
had not a Portuguese ship from Bahia, hound to Lisbon,
must providentially fallen in with them at day-right
next morning, and reeeiied than on board, in which
they were safely and hospitably conveyed to Lisbon,
after cruising about the fatal spot till noon, in hopes
of descrying sonic of the miserable sufferers wh.s
might have clung to parts of the wreck, but without
success.

Of a crew consisting oftwetty-one persons, fourteen
are saved, including Lieut. Mudge, the Agent, Mr.
Fisher, the Surgeon, the Master of the Ship and
Second Mate—the First Mate, in the most feeling-
manner, refusing to go into the boats, saying that he
would abide the fate of those left on board.

Of the emigrants, consisting in all of thirty-one
men, twenty four wow& fifty-five boys, and thirty
girls, only ten men, three women, sixteen boys, and
•
six girls are saved.
Lists 14 the persons saved have been sent to the
Chief Magistrates of Glasgow and Greenock, for
the information of the friends of the respective par-
ties in that country, and having been favoured with
a copy thereof (from official authority), we publish
the same for the sotisfaction of those in England
who may have had friends or relations on board this
ill-fated vessel.
