DISASTERS AT SEA,

THE BURNING OF THE SHIP GL0BUs.
From the Norfolk Herald of Saturday we take
the following further particulars of the burning
of the ship Globus, whose passengers and crew
were brought into that port Friday last by ship
Morning Star
The ship Globus had a general CARGO and was
bound to New York. Captain Blanke, on opening
the matches shortly after the fire was discovered,
found the flames raging below, and bursting
through the matches; they rose as high as the
masthead, cutting OFT all hope of saving anything
but the lives of those on board. One man during
the terrible excitement and alarm, jumped over
board and was drowned.
Very active efforts were made at first by Capt
Blanke to save the passengers in the ships boat,
but the Morning Star coming to the assistance of
the imperiled passengers and crew, the boats of
both ships were used in transferring the passengers
which, Notwithstanding heavy sea running
at the time, was accomplished in a very short time
Captain Banke remained on board his ship till
driven off by the flames.
The Morning. Star short of provisions and
kindly supplied by the British brig Boomerang,
Capt. Young, of Dundee, from New Castle, bound
to New York; the Boomerang being short of pro-
visions herself, and having been previously sup
piled by another vessel.
Captain Blanke expresses himself in terms of
heartfelt than nkfuness to Captain Campbell, his
lady and daughter, and to the crew of the Morning
STAR for their unceasing efforts in behalf of those
rescued from the burning ships and the passengers
manifest much gratitude for the attentions paid
them on board the vessel that saved them from
sudden and dreadful DEATH
Prompt assistance was rendered BY COL Myers,
Consul for the Netherlands to the distressed and
destitute passengers, who will be sent TO New
York, to which city the ill-ated ship Globus was
bound.
