The brig Aware Capt. o Brien, sailed from New
York on the 18th nit, bound TO Aspinwal. When In
latitude 26o lY NJ, Capt. OBrien discovered
wreck about four miles distant and thinking he saw
some person on the wreck waving a hat, he lmmedl
asely bore down toward it. The wind at the time De-
ing very light and varisble and night coming on ne
thought he heard three distinct knocks ,eor
was striking something hollow. He instantly TOOK
large piece of rope III being dark a. tne ume,l anu
struck three times the buwarks OF his own vessel
and listening could hear the same noise as ne hesro

asking 10 come on board He immediately lowered
bis boat and took from the wreck George Iouro an
italian by BIRTH whose family resoe 10 fhilsaelpnia,
empty barrel, and with Delaying pin was striking
on Its head which made the sounds Capt. Bren had
heard Touro stated that on the 22d OF August the
brig Adele Capt Lewis, sailed from philadelphia with
cargo for St. Kits having on board nine persons,
including young man as passenger; that on the 80
of September they encountered terrific hurricane
which lasted eighteen hours that both mass were car
ned away close to the deck with yards SAILS rigging,
and every thing attached that the brig being then
uprnaDseeable fell of into the trough OF the sea,
which carried away jkboons and bowsprt washing
overheard the mate passenger and three OF ihe crew
with housegalley, water casks and bulwarks. Inc
second mate was dsslred against the rail with such
force that several Of his ribs were broken ne lin-
gered in great agony until the morning OF rhe oth
when death put an end TO bis sufferings The sur
yiyors were then without water On the evening oil
the same day the captain died OF thirst; only Two
men were left, namely, the cook and George Touro;
On the 18th the cook died. Several vessels passed
during the week, but the wreck was so low in the
water II could not be at any great distance. On
the 10th Touro caught little water from shower.
He had plenty to eat, but was without water during
twelve days On the morning OF the slst OF Septem-
Der he caught several buckets of water. When the
poor fellow reached the deck Of tue Alvaro he was
30 weak he could not stand. 1t being dark, Captain
OBnen did not think il prudent to stay by the wreck,
as the water washing over the deck Of the i'll.
fsted brig and there was every prospect OF storm.
Captain OBrien took the poor shipwrecked sailor in
bis cabin and furnished him with clothes and treated
him with the greatest care and attention, doing all
In his power TO make him comfortable and happy.
Captain o Brien belongs to Thomaston Maine, and
Ia one Of the many noble and humane shpmasters
of whom the State Of Maine may well be proud. His
untring attention and kindness to the poor seaman
entite him TO the thanks of the community. He
sails for NewYork direct in the brig AlvarO on the
18th, and with him goes the "shipwrecked sailor
improved in health and cheerful in spirits. Captain
Lewis leaves wife and family in Philadelphia
