rocky shore of Maync Island, knocking Il great
hole in her bilgc. The vessel began to sink
rapidly and At . O'Clock turned on her side and
went down in 90 feet of water. All hands
save Capt. lipson, Stewart and the cook
succeeded in reaching the boat and getting
clear OF the wreck. The boat lay alongside
until daybroak, when the cook was discovered
ciinging to the iorc-yard, and was rescued.
Search was made for the missing men, but
they had sunk to rise more. The crew cx-
perienced much difficulty in reaching this port,
owing to the high wind that prevailed for sew
cral days. They are in destitute condition,
aud are kindly cared for by Consul Ecksteu.
The second mate aud one man remain to
watch but no hope is entertained Of saving
her. The mainmast is about 20 feet out OF
