AN UNKNOWN WREcK.-From the Mobile Register
Of Tuesday we extract the following:
1t will be remembered that some four or five weeks
ago we mentioned the fact that a vessel was found
with bottom upwards afioat in the Gulf, about twelve
miles to the eastward OF Mobile Point.
Immediately after the announcement Of this fact
Capt George Bakesley went down to the place in the
steamer Swan, and endeavored in every way to turn
the schooner over, that she might be brought into
port and partially saved
She was found about mile and half from the
Shore with hole cut in the bottom by the people who
had visited her to rescue what or who might remain
in her.
As much doubt yet remains as 10 her identity, we
mention that !" berjee u was found in or upon her
with the partially efaced name /" ---ile Day.
mans body also drifted ashore which bore in In
dian ink the name of w. Palmer on his arm. He
was buried where he was found.
A chest also floated ashore which is supposed 10
have belonged to Peter Peterson the mate Of the ves
sci, as appears from papers found in it.
Capt. Blakesley tried by every means to turn the
schooner over SO that she might be foated into port
But in vain. No purchase he could rig her in that
state Of the weather would suffice. In the hold were
found some boxes containing military uniforms etc.,
and marked Ringgold Barracks y via New Orleans
The schooner Is supposed to have been from Tampa
Bay and driven towards the Shore and there capszed
in the big gale month since.
