FIRE ISLAND, Friday, Jan. IL, 1850.
The ship Stingray turned partly round last night and
now lies headed about southeast. She has started
her sternpost and has eleven feet of water in her
hold Her cargo will be very much damaged, and
probably the ship will be lost there is agent to
see to either ship or cargo yet and but very little has
been done to save either. To-day there landed
about so bales of silk about half wet and about 100
chests Of tea, mostly dry.

man from ST. John, n. B., and two Others were found
dead and could not be found so now we have four
alive and three dead ashore, and one dead on board

thermometer at 50 below zero His feet and hands
were frozer and he almost exhausted finally reached
house, barely alive lie is improving, however, and
will probably escape with the loss Of little flesh from
bis fingers and toes In consequence Of his not being

would otherwise have been. The disaster to the
Stingray reached us one day earlier than any other
paper.
