DEAR SIR,
This will inform you Of the loss Of the
schooner Gen. Brooke, on a small Island
about so miles TO the south west Of this CT
ty; which happened little after 2 o'clock
on the morning ofthe 9th. about three quar-
tiers of. mile from the leach, which we
reached at O'Clock through a prodigiol
sea and surf, and in whichwe were near an.
hour; sometimes it was not ha4 leg deep,
and as the surf came in we were covered BY
i at least 10 feet. How We all manassd
t5get ashore is r. ally mirac.e. On We'd
nesday, at day light we made the Highlands
of Never sink, it blowing very heavy from
north west by west, stood tor the Hook,
aud were once within six miles OF it, tn
gale increased, and at 80 O'Clock finding II
impossible to reach the Hook, we stood off,
and at 70 hove too under close reeted
foresail, it showing now and then. This
day we had four of the hands frost-bitten
three of them so much so, as to be entirely
unable to do duty. During the night it
cleared away the gale continuing if any
thing to increase.
On Thursday, at 12 o'clock, we had an
observation, and found we had drifted to
southwark 36 miles, at o'clock We made
what sail we could moist, which was done
by the captain, one man and myself, with
the assistance of the windlass, and stood
north west, the wind having this morning
shifted to west and by south, and which
course we. steered until she struck. The
third or fourth thump the rudler was car
ried away; and for about halt an hour tbs
sea brake over her often halt mast high.
At day light we saw this little island, which
lies very low. We Immediately got our
boat under the schooner's bows, and ii.
hands, eight in number, got into her, ana
fortunately got safe to shore. In abous
four hours we discovered a house, tor

can IN no way blame Captain Spotswood
for this accident for really think he is as
cautious man as ever knew at sea.
Yours, &c.
P. S. About one thousand bushels OF
Wheat was saved by the wreckers on Satur-
day; on Sunday morning it came on tc
blow, and when left the Beach on Nor
day, there was nothing to be seen OF tbs
vessel; SO that she is either gone to pieces
or drifted on the western shore of Ions
Island.
