sunk about three quarters Oh aS nouf al
ter we Quilted her, and whilst we were
in the act of landing for when looked
for her ir.m the shore, could not disco
yer her. and man who met US when
We landed, stated, that he had seen heE
go down. No sooner had the crew lands
ded the passengers who were fortunately
saved, several Of whom we're IN sta.e
of great exhaustion from having been I'D
the wster, than they heroicaliy resolved
although the boat was nearly hall fuH OF
water. 10 return with all expedition to-
tha spot where the packet was supposed
to have sunk. They went accordingly,
and succeeded in rescuing three indivi-
duals who had sustained themselves In
the water by buoy ant articles from wa
terry grave.
"lI were in vain to attempt to describe
the scene of horror which the deck OF tho
packet exhibited, whon we were on the
point of quitting for ever the multitude
which crowded il. 1t was scene
which would have melted the hardest
heart. For some time before that mo.
ment all hope of preservaiioD had been
abandoned and the unfortunate crowd
were waiting in awful suspense,the dread
full death which stared them in the face.
Many Of them had fallen OH their knees,
and were imploriDg the mercy OF Hea-
ven-whilst others were sending up the
most piteous and heart rending screams,
which drew tears even from those in the
boat who had some chance Of escape.
"There were many women Oh board,
with young children. to whom they chung
with a mothers fondness in this scene Of
death the frantic shrieks extorted by
their maternal agony, were most pierce
ing, and were heard long after the boat
had quilted tho sinking wreck. A poor
soldier had his whole family on board,
consisting of his wife and several children,
and was observed endeavouring to afford
them that consolation in that awful situa.
ton which was denied to himself. In
short, il was scene OF horror which has
seldom been equailed, and such as 1 trust
shall never behold again."
This most dreadful shipwreck appears
from tn Information which we have
been able to gather, TO have been causes
by the packet being kept close in with
between the Skerries and the main land,
the passage is, we understand, thereby
considerably shortened. This, it is sup
posed, was the object of the captain of
the Alert, Blu, the breeze dying unexpec-
teddy away, and q strong current running.
ia the direction ofthe breakers, loss OF
human life ensueds the bare mention of
which makes one shudder. The cap
tain, we hear, is like man distracted,
fearing the catastrophe will be imputed
to neglect or carelessness on his part

was not on deck when the vessel was
drifting towards the rocks; but he said
'hatit was his individual opinion, las well aa
the opinion of the survivors with whom
he conversed, that no blame was imputa.
bic to the captain.
Twenty nine off the bodies have beer
