gboat was launched and manned with
1--we seamen, two officers and two ladies
supposed to be their wives, an assistant
surgeon, a sea1eant and his wife and
|child, in the hope Of gaining the shore
Ibut in few moments she was struck by
IA wave, and swamped and every sou
lperished with exception of one seaman
/ who reached the land scarcely alive
|AIl the rest OF the people fortunately re-
mained in the vessel, which at low wa
ter in the course Of the night was left
|nearly dry and at about ] or 2 o'clock
they succeeded in getting safely to
land, to the amber Of 400 souls. The
Boadicea was distinctly seen by the re.
venue officers and military party, with a
light at her topmast, till after midnight
The light and vessel then disappeared
altogether, and her fate was easily anti
[cipated.
Next morning her fragments were dis
covered among the rocks, which lie be-
tween the two strands OF Garretstown,
aud where she had been driven, after
parting from the anchors in the night.
Upon approaching the wreck, a most
heart rending scene Of misery, desolation
md death. presented itselfto the view.
The vessel seemed TO be confused mass
Of timber, pIanks and boards, broken to
pieces and intermixed with piles of dead
bodies--men, women and children !!
near to the wreck was a rock, some
What elevated above he water, and upon
his were seen about 80 or 90 poor hui
,nan creatures, who had scrambled to it
rein the vessel, and were still alive.
The people from the shore communicate
ed to them as well a, they could. that
their only chance OF safety wasin remain
Jag where they were until low water |;
but either through Impotence of the mi-
sery OF their situation, or from the i'm.
pulse OF despair, near so of them plum.
ged into the sea, and endeavored to gain
the shore, but in vain, as most of them
persisted III the attempt. About 60 re-
manned on the rock until low water, and
were all saved. The Boadicea it is
said, had on bord $50 officers and pri !
