Captain Hawkins, OF the schooner Wanata reports
as folcws:-
The schooner wanata left her anchorage opposite
the Jersey CITY ferry at about three O'Clock
fresh, which afterwards, when the vessel
had passed by Long Branch, increased to q
considerable gale. At dark the signal lanterns were
lit but the force OF the wind was such that they
blew out as fast as they were lighted AS 1t was I'M
possible to return to New York the captain deter
cisng every vigilance to avoid collision or damage
in any way. At about half-past nine P. NJ,
saean mate sse ss s s On te auarr aa

was Immediately put up, but In an instant the
was lying at anchor ALI hands on board the latter
boat succeeded in getting on board the
Wanata, but lost nearly all their effects
save such as clothing as they had on
at the time. The Johnson sunk almost Immediately.
The Wanata lost all her head gear and carried away

barely time to scramble board OF the
schooner, the boat sinking in about ten minutes,
saving nothing but what we stood In, and that was
very little. the majority OF the pilots and crew being
undressed IN bed at the time. We were kindly
ceived on board Of the schooner by Captain fiaw-

which we return him our sincere thanks.

light and the schooner had no lights at all that we
could see. The boat had the following pilots on
board. VIII. II. Alcock, Isaac Campbell william
