The Iadia has performed her voyage
in 81 days. She arrived within the
Hook on Thursday evening, where she
rode ont the late severe snow storm.
On Friday morning, Preserved Fish,
one of, the owners of the India, and
Amos Butler, one OF the Propristors
OF dis paper, embarked on board the
Pilot Boat Champlin, with s Branch
Pilots, and the boats crew, and pro-
ceeded to Sandy Hook. On the way
thither, spoke all the vessels at anchor
in tie Bay, and found two Ga ship and
hrie) that had come within the Hook
without Pilots, which we suppliedthen
with; and then proceeded on for the
India, which we boarded, and took out,
the i-ettAr- Bag, Newspapers, &c. and
Immediately started again for New
York. The snow continued with con-
siderable severity; the wind was at

Boat under close reefed sails, and made
very good Roadway, until about three
quarters of an hour before sunset, the
boat unfortunately struck on the East
Bank, where she thumped a few mi
nutes, the sea making fair breach o.
yer her, and she soon filed. All hands
remained on board the wreck until
dark, and used every exertion to get
the boat off, but in vain. Our situati-
on had now become very perilous, and
the only alternative left for the preser-
walton of our lives, was to lunch the
pilot boats yawl, and embark in her,
although the wind still continued TO
Blow very hard, and tremendous sea
running. Afser launching the yawl,
we all embarked (six in nunber) and
took a bucket for the purpose of bail
ing Che boat, and compass, the latter
OF which was of no use. When we
showed off from the wreck, we shaped
our course for the ship Golcouda,
which was riding at anchor. about a
mile and half distance in Gravesend
Bay; and after rowing and billing the
boat Tor about an hour and half, ha-
wing lost sight of the ship, we gave up
all hopes of reaching her, and conclu-
III lg to put the boat before the wind,
endeavored to reach the Jersey shore,
or fall in with some of tie vessels at
srchor in the Bay. In about . hours
and q half after leaving the wreck of
the pifot-bpat, we providentially fell in
with the brig Hannah, capt. Akeroyd,
whic. we got on board of, nearly ex-
bausted with cold, fear and fatigue.
We carnot expire IS too much gratitude
TO that over-ruling Providence, who
s1ved us from an untim, ly and watery
grave. To capt. A keroyd aud his pas
sehgers, we return our most sincere
thanks, for their kind and humane at
tention alter getting on board the Han
