The line ship Othello, Berry, bound for New

West Indies, were lying in the Roads, above the
! Isand-both vessels were seen at anchor at IL
O'Clock Yesterday. Great anxiety was manifest

vessels. The Othello had on board thirty.one pas
sencers. all residents of this city. Last evening
I lust before dark. two huks were seen from our
wharyes: one in Hog Island channel. the other
between Hog and Sullivan's Island. both dismast-

about half past o'clock TO their assistance, and

injuries from this cause.

ashore on Crabb bank. when it was found necesa-
~ for the preservation of the ship to cut away the
masts-she then driftcd through Hog Island up
to the point of marsh which divides Town Creek
