The splendid New York packet.shiI
Hottinguer, Capt. Bursley, has fallen {
prey to the fury of the elements, ant
from the tenor Of the last accounts re
specting her, melancholy loss Of life at
tends the disaster. The Hottinguer sailed
from Liverpool for New York on the IOtl
January. She had 900 cabin and steer
age passengers, together with the captain
and crew OF 80 men and boys, and a
very full cargo Of various descriptions o.
goods. She had only passed as far as
Blackwater Bank; which is off the coast
of Wexford, when she struck on one ol
those dangerous lodges of rocks which lie
concealed in that quarter.
This occurred on the morning OF the
18th Of January. On the occurrence o
this mishap, part of the crew and all
the passengers were sent ashore. Capt.
Bursley and 13 OF. his men remained on
board, determined not to leave the ship
while there was the remotest chance of
saving her On the following morning,
the 18th, the ship floated off Black Water
Bank, and bore away before the wind,
and struck Arklow Bank, where she after.
ward went to pieces, and sad to relate,
Capt. Bursley and twelve Of the noble
band who determined to be the last off the
ship, met watery grave. ~
AT the time the passengers left the ship,
her situation seemed to be utterly hope
less. The hold was full of water, and the
sea making clear breaches over her. 1t
was with extreme difficulty and peril that
the seamen and passengers were passed
into the boats, the sea breaking with
dreadful violence on the bank. The pas
sengers were unable to take anything out
of the ship except the clothes they had on
at the time.
The boats happily succeeded in reach
ing the shore, although with extreme diff
Guilty, from the height of the sea, and
great distance of miles or more from
the bank to the land. Capt. Bursley's
son, who was on board the Hottinguer, up
70 the time she struck on Backwater
Bank, is passenger on board the Eu.
