NAMES OF OFFICERS AND GREW SAVED.
C. H. Christisnson, captain. - Hall, first mate.
The list OF the names of the crew saved is, Of
course, Incomplete.
Throughout Monday and Monday night, the
storm continued to rage, the sea making a COM
plete breach over the wreck. On Tuesday the
sufferers deserted a vessel, but the weather con-
tinued SO stormy that they could not indulge any
hope of being aided by her, and night again
overlook them in their wretched and dangerous
situation. On Wednesday morning, however,
the same vessel they had seen on the previous
day, the brig Belize, Capt. James H. Dawes, from
Boston, bound to Port au Prince, was seen
bearing down to the wreck, the weather having
at this time somewhat moderated. Though the
attempt to rescue the survivors was still attended
with some danger, Capt. Dawes and his officers
and crew bent themselves nobly to the task, and
the twenty-five sufferers were safely conveyed
on board the Belize. Their wants were immedi-
ately and generously provided for and the greatest
attention paid to their weak and WORKOUT con-
Gus conduct of Capt. Dawes, shed tears of
gratitude he said he never received such
treatment Capt. D., with an alacrity which
speaks in the highest terms of praise of his char
acter as a noble hearted man, changed his course
and brought them all safely to this port, where
they arrived yesterday morning.
The followingl card is published for the sur
vivors:-
The undersigned, on behalf Of the passengers and
crew ofhe packet shin Mamouk wrecked ut on the
night Of the 18th Of August desire to express publicly
their deep Of gratitude to Captain James Dawes
Of the brig Belize of Kingston Mass his noble
generously providing for all their wants, and in
bringing them safely to this port.

1t appears that the steerage passengers occu-
pied the house on deck, and were in bed at the
the ship swept this house overheard with all its
inmates, and hence the great loss of that class
of passengers, only one of the thirty-six having
been saved.
The cabin passengers were also in bed at the
time, and as the ship lay on her beam ends they
were rescued through one of the windows on
the weather side.
The Captain, Christensen, was once washed
overheard, but recovered himself in the rigging
of the mainmast.
The Mamlouk was q splendid new vessel, was
on her first voyage, and was built at Perrine,
Patterson & Stacks ship yard, in this city. She
was $50 tons burthen, and owned by Warren De-
lano, Jr Esq. She had full cargo of flour, pro-
visions, &c, which was worth about $50, OOO
The vessel and freight money were insured in
w all street for about G56 600 about SJI 900 nj
the Mutual Safety Office, and the remainder il
divided between the Atlantic and Sun Offices
and Philadelphia agency. The ship had every
convenience and improvement, and was as fine
a ship as ever LETT this port. She cost from
$50 900 to $4,000. The cargo was also partially
insured in London.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-08-26


The new snip Mamlouk, Capt. Christensen,
of this port bound to Liverpool, was totally lost
together with forty-two lives, on the night of the
18th inst, in lat. 80 N, lon. 81 w. Thus we
had scarcely finished recording the partl-
culars of the dreadful affair of the Iduna, when
we were called upon to publish those of the
Mamlouk.
This ship sailed from this port on the 9th inst.
for Liverpool with four cabin passengers, thirty
Elk in the steerage, and crew of twenty-four,
officers and men. She received her first injury
on the night of Sunday, August Is, in about
latitude 38 N. and longitude 81 w. She was
then lying to in violent hurricane, under the
main spencer and fore topmast stay sail. About
ten minutes before twelve o'clock she was
struck by heavy squall, and careened so much
that the cargo shifted, and she Immediately fell
upon her beam ends, the weather rail on the
quarter deck being within few feet of the water.
The main and mizen masts were Immediately
cut away, and the ship righted, but the cargo
burst open the matches and hoated about, crea-
ting much confusion, and increasing the i'm
pending danger Within very short time, the
vessel filled, and she became water-logged, the
starboard rail being uRder water In this con-
dition the crew and passengers remained until
daylight the next morning, the 10th, when
the dreadful truth became apparent to them, that
out of sirty four souls, only ttcentytico remained
aiice, the Others having been mashed overboard.
The names of those lost are annexed. We are
indebted to Mr.. John keenan,, the passenger
broker to the ship, for the list of steerage pas
