statement Of Major d. o. WIS

MAJOR Wyse of the United States army, who
arrived at this port yesterday in the British ship
Three Bells, states that the steamer San Francis
co was struck by tremendous sea when she was
two days out upon her voyage, and distant about
four hundred miles from New York.
The shock of this stroke caused the condenser
Oh the engines to give out and so completely dis
arranged the machinery as 10 render the ship COM
pletely helpless, and placed her at once al the
mercy of the wind and waves.
When in this condition she fell into the trough
OF the sea, and very soon after her decks were
completely swept, and the upper cabin, together
with her smoke pipe, were carried into the ocean.
Everthng movable on the deck and around il

AT this moment there were about one hundred
and fifty ofthe soldiers in the cabin all of whom
| were swept away, and drowned.
The officers and persons whose names are fur

aged to get some sail upon the ship; but the gale
was so violent, that, the canvass was Immediately
torn into shreds, and the steamer still lay at the
mercy OF the waves, which tossed her about like a
rolling log at every surge.
She remained in this condition for two days,
when she was spoken by the brig Napoleon: but
the San Francisco soon driited away, and lost
| sight of her.
After parting with the Napoleon, the steamer
fell in with the barque Kiby, which took of about
one hundred and fifty of the unfortunate passen-
/ gers, and then continued on her voyage. ,a
Subsequently, another ship came in sight, and
neared the steamer, when she succeeded in taking
away a number of the persons remaining on
board, amongst whom was the wife of Major
Wyse The major did not then, nor does he now
know the name of the vessel, nor whittier she was
bound but he consoles himself with the fond an.
anticipation that his wife is safe, and that he will
again see her.

had become ObStructed. flity SOluferS were de-
tailed TO commence bailing. All day and all night
the work went on without intermission. Still,
with every roll the ship took in large quantities of
water and we gained little upon the leak. Sunday
morning, the 25th, the day of the nativity OF our
blessed Saviour at last dawned upon us The
sky lighted up little; there was short CLEAN Of
sunshine, and the sea Gained a little. A sail or
two were seen in the distance, but none approach
ed us.
II was gloomy Christmas TO us. The work Of
battling and pumping went on, and we had gained
on the leak Monday, the Goth, the gale continued
with little abatement. All night Sunday the tenn
pest roared round our devoted ship. We discov-
cred sail not far of. On approaching us she
proved to be brig; we spoke her. She reported
herself short of provisions, and after supplying her
self with barrels OF beef and pork we had thrown
overheard, she went on her way. On Sunday, the
9th, discovered another sail bearing down upon
us. She proved to be the bark Kilby, Of and for
Boston, from New Orleans, loaded with cotton,
thirty-fve days out. BY authority of Colonel
Gates, commanding the detachment, she was char
tered for government TO convey the troops to the
nearest accessible post. Tuesday was too rough
to disembarL any part OF the command, but on
Wednesday, the 2olh, Colonel Gates and family,
Major Merchant and family, Colonel Burke, Cap
tains Fremont and Judd, with their families Doc
tors Satterlee and Wirts, with some others, whose
names are not recolected, were safely embarked
on board the Kilby, Some forty or fifty soldiers,
and some soldiers wives. also embarked---in all
nearly one hundred persons. Night came on, and
put stop TO any further operations. In the morn
ing she had disappeared, and We saw her no more.
Once more we were alone on the boundless ex-
panse Of waters. Our ship lay as helpless as log
upon the waves. She was completely crippled.
