SAFETY OF THE OFFICERS AND CREW.
BY the arrival Of the American ship Z. d. Capt.
Hodges. Of the Zerega Co.'s line, at this port yes
terday, we learn that the British ship John Garrow
foundered at sea Dec g. about lat. 80 lon so. The
Ganow left Savannah on the 18th OF November, with
cargo of cotton, for Liverpool and when three or
four days out began to leak badly, so much so that
from the Sd to the 9th Of December all hands had to
work at the pumps night and day. The weather dur
ing this period was very rough, and Capt Dyer seeing
the dangerous condition of his vessel headed her Tor
the Westward Islands with but faint hopes OF ever
reaching land. On Ne 9Th of December, when both
officers and crew were nearly exhausted and the ves-
sci having seven feet of water in her hold the ship
E. Capt Hodges, hove in sight. A consultation
was held between the officers and crew Of the GaHo",
and it being apparent that the vessel could not float
much longer as the leak increased altogether beyond
their control, they resolved to abandon her. Accord
inply the signal Of distress hOisted and Capt.
Hodges bore down for her, hove to his vessel, and
took Capt. Dyer his wife and child and the officers
and crew "a persons all tod), board The weather
was so rough that nothing beyond the wearing apparel
of the people belor gipg to the Gaow could be saved
