Loss OF AN AMERICAN WHALRR.-A cores
pondent at Rio states that the American whale
ship Maglena, Capt Samuel Jones, of New Bed
ford, whence she sailed in August, 1853, has
been lost. There is, however, an error in the
name, as we find no Maglena in the Whale
mems list. The only Captain Jones mentioned
from New Bedford commands the ship Milton,
which left New Bedford in November, 1851.
Three Of the crew Of the lost vessel, named Jo-
'seph Andrews, Henry Wesling, apd Robert Da-
Wis, had arrived at Rio Janeiro and deposed to
the following statement before Mr.. Sebot, the
acting American Consul, and which has been
forwarded to Washington. They encountered
storm (no date given) in the latitude of Ba-
ihia, and were dismasted. The survivors were
below, and were aroused by hearing the cry
that they were sinking. They rushed on deck
and saw, at little distance from the ship, two
boats containing the rest Of the crew. They
then took the third boat, but boy became en-
tangled in the rigging and was drowned. They
subsequently separated from the other boats,
which had not been heard from, and after six
days at sea, during two Of which they were
without provisions, they reached Santa Cruz,
in the province of Spirit Of Santos, whence they
were sent to Victory by the authorities and
took steamer for Rio. The boy drowned was
named Robert Flynn, supposed to be from Os-
wego, N. Y. In the missing boats were twen-
ty-one men, IL no accident occurred. 1t was
