SUFFERING AND DEATH AT SEA.-rhe Centurion,
| Capt Caulkins, arrived at New York Wednesday,
with two of the crew of the barque Dromohair-
which was wrecked on her way from Quebec to
Sligo Ireland. The account of the rescued shows
distressing state of suffering. 1t says:
The d. was bound from Quebec to Sligo, with a
cargo of lumber, and experienced succession of
heavy W. and n. W. gales, until Dec. &c, when
while lying to in furious gale, she was boarded
by a tremendous sea, which swept the decks of
every thiDg-house, bulwarks, rails, stapchions,
Wheel with the man at it, and caused the vessel to
spring leak. Thepumps were kept going and she
was got free but the gale continuing, she filled,
having been blown from the yards. They were in
this situation for q days, subsisting for IA days
half a biscuit per day, and what water they could
catch running down the masts. The other seven
days they lived on small strips of salt pork only.
During these 81 days, 3 of the died from
exhaustion and starvation, and two others died
after the Centurion fell iu with them. The sur
vivors Capt. Hutchinson, Mr.. Elliott, (chef
oficer.) the second mate steward and three sea-
men, all of whom, except Mr. Elliott and one
seaman were transferred July 24th, to ship
Mageilen, from Boston for Swansea, having
perfectly recovered their health aud strength,
and been board the c. forty five days
When Captain Caulkins of the Centurion, hove bis
ship under the lee of the Dromohair, it was blow
ing gale; but Notwithstanding. he lowered his
boats, and went to the disabled ship. On arriving
there, narrowing scene presented itself, the dead
and dying being mingled together. Scarce q
word was spoken, but the looks and outstretched
arms of the furnishing creatures were eloquent OF
the misery their parched tongues wore unable to
utter. They were carefully lowered into the boats
of the Centurion, and when board that ship
every care aud attention which one sailor could
give another, was generously rendered.
