and rs tons plaster shaving likewise on

passengers. This dreadful accident took
place on the 50th December on the Beach,
near this place, district of Great Egg
Harbor.) Our misfortune was owing TO
a long continuance of Northcrly Winds
and cloudy weather, which deprived us of
the means of aseeftaining our situation by
observation. Our reckoning was 125 miles

evening were steering N. w. ". with

close under the bows aud before we had
time to get the helm w, she struck, and
Immediately bilged. Every exertion was
made to bring the vessel a6ack, but the sea
ran so tremendously high as to battle every
attempt to effect it in less than Is mi.
nutes after she struck, the water was a

washed over board, sought refuge il the
tops, where myself, and FIVE others, CONT
