son. arrived at Liverpool on the 18th March, made
the following report:
On the 18th ult. at 30 minutes past 8 A. M,
Holyhead Light in sight, distance twelve miles, |

Roman came up with he Richard Anderson,
passed under her lee, went ahead, lacked, ana
came in contact.

cut-water. stem, and larboard cathead, the an
Choir falling on the Romans decks: the latter
vessel sunk in two hours The crew were saved: !
Captain Salisbury died in one hour after he
came on board of the Richard Anderson.
Ii appears, from statement made by the Off
GERS and crew of the Roman, that when she came
head to windward, her forebraces, or pins, part
ed, which allowed the head yards to run square
and give her sternboard. The moment she was
perceived to be in stays, the Richard Anderson's
helm ives put hard up, but the ship would not
pay-off in time to clear the other.

most Immediately after leaving his own ship;
from what cause is not known, probably from
distress of mind, as he was personally uninured.
He was very respectable worthy man, an Amer |
lean by birth, and1an experienced seaman.
