Terrible E6scts Of the staEzn in the Morth,
The Northern papers are filled with accounts
Of the recent storm in that region, and ths loss,
suffering and death incident thereto. From the
New York Evening Mirror Of the 18th we ex-
tract the following:
It was ct first thought that few marine dis
asters had occurred, butWe begin to henr Of the
real effects Of the storm on the ocean One of
the SeVerest disasters reported, is the wreck Of
the pilot boat E. Il. Collins She had for some
days been chasing up the clipper ship stingray,
from Canton, bound to New York; but on We'd
nesday night, the 9th inst, the clipper was lost
track OF, and the pilot-boat lay to along The
coast, bufeted by the wind, and shrouded by
ice, the night being intensely co1d-and sur
rounded also by heavy mist. AT 10 O'clock
on the morning Of the 10th, she ran toward
what appeared to be the light Of large ship,
when she suddenly shoaled and was thrown On
her besm-ends. The place proved to be Fire
Island Inlet, and the Light seen was from the
light house. The sea broke heavily over the
pilot boat, and washed away her largest yaWl,
The smaller yaWl was cleared away. and into
this boat Morris E1lWood, the boat-keeper, Iss.
r. Murphy and VIM. Roach, pilots, and James
Sullivan, an apprentice, entered. and pulled for
the shore. On nearing land, the surf rolled
completely over the yaWl, and to save them
selves, Murphy and Roach dove under the ice
that fringed the coast, and made their way to
shores which they eventually reached, chilled
and FROST bitten, but out Of danger. Sullivan
also reached shore, but EllWood in attempting
to dive from the yawl, caught his foot in the
lashings and was drowned. The colored cook,
whose name no one on board knew, died of cold
lsoon after the yawl left, and VIM Williams, a
cabin boy, soon after psEished. Mr. Robert b,

The clipper ship stipgray, Captain Kirby,
which went eshore five miles east Of Fire Island

up to last accounts, been set ahoat, She is al

The Stingray sailed from Canton with cargo
consisting Of teas, silks, mating, ETC., valued
altogether at $s3OO,O0O, and was insured for
about $4,000. The crew are all safe on shore
The schooner Pacific, Of Washington, North
Carolina, vent ashore on Long Beach, near
Barnegst. The Herald gives the following &C.
count Of the scene which enaued:
After she struck, the crew, six in number, got
into the rigging, where they remained upwards
Of an hour. Hoping better to survive the perils
of the night, they descended and took refuge in
the cabin, and while there a heavy sea struck
the vessel, tearing open the cabin doors and
washing the captain overheard. He, however,
through the exertions of the mate, Mr. Charles
Pickett, regained the vessel. A little boy, bro
ther-in-laW of the captain, was drowned in the
cabin. The crew then took refuge in the house
on deck, where they held Oh by the rigging un-
til one by one, three of the crew were swept over
board. The captain and mate held on until
4 daybreak, when they made every effort to get
on shore, but the mate only succeeded.
The clothes Of the captain having become en-
tangled about his legs and feet, and frozen SO
stifiy that it was impossiblefor him to extrioate
himself, he called to the mate for assistance,
which was promptly rendered, and as he was
4 dragging the almost senseless captain on shore
o sea caught them and carried Capt. PharroW
beyond reach. He was, however, again caught
by the mate, and dragged on shore Here a
young man, named VIM. Webb, and Mr.. Jen.
nings, wreck master, came to the assistance oi
the sufferers, but the captain expired shortly
after, while being conveyed to the government
honse. The mate suffered dreadfu1ly from thu
intensecold, but happily, through the efforts Of
Mr.. Jennings, he recovered.
Close by the g Pacific is a ship or bark, gone
entirely to pieces. AL hands are supposed te
be lost. No cargo has yet been seen. The
spars and rigging are all broken up and streweG
along the beach. Her name is the sDuke o.
