Arrived in distress, ship Zenobia, Kinney,
from New York, for Liverpool, cargo wheat

about 75 steerage passcngers--mcn, women

struck on bar off Sandy Hook, three times in
quick succession, about mldships, and sprung
aleak-thc pumps were Immediately manned
and kept constantly gong until she arrived at
this port. On Wednesday the 18th, the crew
being nearly exhausted from excessive fatigue
at the pumps, a consultation was held of the
officers, crew and passengers, III regard to tlc
expediency of proceeding on the voyage, when
il was unanimously decided to return to the
nearest port and repair damages. The ship
was in sight of this Island two days ago, but
owing to the violence of the gales from the
northwest, she was unable to reach here until
tS-day.
1t is understood she will proceed back to
New York without unnecessary delay.
! Since the above was published, we have re.
ccived the following note from the Cap, Of
the Zenobia.
EDITOR or THE NEWPORT HERALD:
Sir---Havng just seen in the Boston Times
statement from your Office of the circum-
stances under which the ship Zenobia was
compelled to put into this port, and finding it to
be essentially incorrect, you will much oblige
me by publishing the following nc count :---
The Zenoba left Sandy Hook Nov. 22d, at 3
NJ, with southerly wind, against the ebb
tide, which caused very short sea, that struck
the ship right ahead, and made some Of the
passengers think the ship had touched the bot
tom, which was not the fact, as the ship was
then in 3 fathoms' water, with the western buoy
of the bar bearing about SSW, three cables
length distant. 1t is also stated, that the pumps
were imme ediately manned, when the fact is
| that the pump was not rugged, nor did the
| ship make drop of water, until A NJ. ofthc
next day. Ii then had been blowing heavy for
several hours, and we found that she had sud
denly sprung acak. The account says, that
! it was concluded to put into the nearest port
on Wednesday, but i'll consequence of T.
gales were unable to get in when in fact II was
not decided to put in here, until Saturday night,
and we had wind while we were out.
| Our leak has been at no time excessive the
reason ofour putting back being, that the pumps
were chokcd with wheat. From the above
statement, you will perceive that the ideas of
the passengers who gave you the account,
must have been quite confused, as indeed they
might have been, they were 50 thoroughly
frightened. Your Obd't Servant.
