ISL OF January-no later, however, man tnose re-
ceived by the Pacific. They contain accounts of
numerous shipwrecks and fearful loss of life.
We deeply regret to learn BY the Isabel from
Humboldt Raw. 1.-The 9Th inst. that Iieut. Wood.
ward. who sailed from this mort Oct. 25th. in the
schooner Patuxent. on a Government Survey. was
unset in a boat at the mouth of the Klamath. Nov.
5th. and drowned. with two others. P, Davis,
passenger. and j, Edwards. a seaman, Lieut.,
Woodward was mertorious officer and gallant
man. whose loss will be felt not only bv the circle
of his immediate friends, but by the service ard
the community at large. Much interest was felt
for the report of his survey of the klamath river
and the neighboring coast which he had the Ia
lent and fidelity to make valuable and important.
This, we fear is not to be the last priceless life
sacrificed on the treacherous shores OF the klamath
and Humboldt Bay.
Nov. 2Sth the Patuxent drove from her anchors,
before Southwestern, In Trinidad, and going
ashore besame total wreck.
The bark Popmunnett, VIM. w. Taylor, master,
Of San Francisco, which sailed thence on the 18th
December, on whaling cruise, foundered at sea
during late heavy gale, and six of her crew mum
bering in all sixteen) met with watery grave.
1t appears that at 3 A. NJ, on Sunday, the 10Th
December, it being the mates watch, terrific sea
struck the Ship on the larboard bow, threw her on
her beam ends and bursting her main hatch bars
of, immersed the hatch in water, when she imme-
diately filled. The watch on deck, with the excep-
ton OF the mate, were washed from the decks into
the sea. The captain and nine others succeeded in
getting into boat, but unprovlded with either
or sail to govern it, food to eat OF clothes to their
backs. They had lett the vessel but IA few seconds
when she foundered At IL P. NJ, one of their
number, seaman named r. H. Still, died from
exhaustion A portion Of the lining was torn from
the boat, with which they contrived to paddle her
distance Of some hundred miles.
After knocking about in this way, with heavy
sea running for hfty-two hours, these unfortunate
men were picked up by Captain Hogan of the
Colonel Taylor, and have been safely brought into
San Francisco. We are informed by Captain H
that it would be impossible to describe their state
when taken on board his vessel, and that, in his
opinion, they could not have survived three hours
longer. They are still suffering severely, espe.
| cially the captain. Their names are Joseph C.
Little, first mate; james Taylor, second mate
w illlam Spooner and Bernard Keen, boat steerers
| W. Baldwin, cooper; U. Perkins, George French
| and James Roundy, seamen. The names OF those
who were drowned, we have been unable tc

In our previous report, says the Alta California
OF San francisco, OF the loss OF the bark Bostonian
IN the Umpqua river in October last, we did not
mention the fact that three persons, members o
the crew. lost their lives in attempting to leave the
wreck. The names OF those drowned were VIM
