ETtract ofa letter 10 the Editor of the Charleston
Courier. dated Key Hest, Oct. 81.
1" On the 18th instant the sloop Sarah Isabella,
Capt. Houseman, arrived here in company with
the American brig Halcyon, (of Boston) Morse,
Gate Capt. Conant, who destroyed himself i'm
medately after the brig went ashore, BY taking
laudanum.) She was out two days from Haya,
ma. with cargo of 1852 bags of coffee, and 800
boxes sugar. Our Judge of the Court of Vice
Admiralty not being on the Kew. the case was
arbilrated-salvage awarded Sc! per cent on
vessel and cargo. supposed TO be worth about
$4,000. The first award was SCI per cent. on
the gross amount, but that the agent for the brig
would not receive. The sale is to take place on |
Monday, the 9Th Nov. The survey Oh the bris
reports that it would cost about $4,000 to refit |
her, but that amount being considered more than
her value, she is condemned. The brig got on
the Florida Reef, at place called the Pickle
Reef If the first award of Sc! per cent on the
gross had been accepted. think the poor under
writers would have been well picked.
