within miles Of the ship.
The steamboat from New York with two lighters,
arrived at the ship at daybreak yesterday morning
They brought the necessary material to pump and
save the ship She is not hogged and has very little
waterin her, She does not show any serious strain
of her butts OF seams She was lying very easy
yesterday morning 1t will not be possible to bring
the lighters alongside, on account Of the wrecked
spars, which are partly buried in the sand near the
ship. With a strong western wind the ships stern
would be within fifty feet Of the under tow.
mo cargo had been saved up to yesterday morning
The principal articles SALT tin crates and hard
ware. She drew eighteen feet of water on leaving
Liverpool. The cargo is not of more than half the
valre Of cargo shipped in December or January.
The insurers are fortunate. The cargo will proba-
bly, be saved without serious damage, and the ship
will be got of, if there is no sudden storm.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr.. Fore
man, who was formerly wreckmaster, and to his
men, George Johnson, Joseph Borden, Elias
Allen, Faber Sherman, Peter Sulphn, John Nor
ris, Elias Johnson, Jacob Fleming, Enoch Potter,
Tyler Fierce, VIM. Fortinberry, Robert J. Finley,
and John and James johnson. These brave fe
lows continually up to their necks in the surf
and whilst the sufferers remained on board, many
manly resolve was made to die, if needful, in al
tempting their rescue. The organization Of these
men was worthy Of the veteran who led them. We
regret that we cannot name all who thus labored.
There were some fifty men en- the beach.
The John Thompson lost, has brother at Mo-
bile
Mr.. Cooley, the I'd mate, reJoned the ship last
night
Capt Nye owned $40. 900 Of the ship, which inter-
est was insured, and the policy was within twenty
four hours Of expiring.
The stranding Of this ship is attributed to a very
unusual strong Southern current, and the gloomy
weather which prevailed preventing sight at the
sun, or any light house.
The Henry Clay sailed four days after the ST.
Patrick, and these ships were in company on Tues
day afternoon. The st. P. arrived on Wednesday
/ noon.
The complete utility of the plan suggested by US
for saving lives, some days since, and afterwards
improved, has been fully demonstrated in this in
stance. We must have the station houses on the
beach, and the United States government must pay
for this important outlay.
STILL LATxR.-Steamer Duncan c. Pell returned
from the wreck yesterday afternoon, unable to et-
feet a communication, owing to a very heavy sea
which was then running She towed down the
lighter with the steam pump on board, which will
be put in requisition the moment chance presents
itself The captain Of the D. G. p. states that Capt
Nye, the second mate, end crew, were on board at
IL o'clock yesterday, and he saw also persons on
the beach pick up from the surf body, as he sup
posed.
The steamers orus and Edwin Lewis arrived last
evening from Shrewsbury, having brought up about
one hundred Of the passengers.
