Jacksonville, Aug. 2, 10 O'Clock a. m-The
last seen of General Wright he was standing
on board holding life-preserver in his hand
There were two boats swamped before the one
that the fourteen and the woman and child made
their escape in. Capt. Buckley had men out
patroling the beach all night and the next day
SO as to pick up any bodies that might drift
ashore, but there was no drift of the ship, nor
did any bodies come ashore up to 2 o'clock on
the 2lst ult.
The boat fred two gtns, but it was thought
that it was only signal from some boat on her
way up. There was nothing known of it until
it was revealed by those who made their escape
in the small boat. She was wrecked by running
on a sdnken rock off st. George Point, near
Crescent City.
Mai. Eddy Paymaster U. S. A., had $780,
900 in Government funds which were to be used
in paying off troops The Major, before sail
ing, balanced his Government accounts, settled
his private accounts, made his will and told
some of his friends that he had a presentiment
That he should never return.
