The schooner Skylark arrived this
morning and brings particulars of the
loss of the bark Clara X. Sutil, Cap
tain Geo. Caleb, which left this port for
Coos Bay on the sth of July. She had
July 18th about noon a very heavy
sea. She was struck by a cross sea
under the quarter which strained her
so as to cause the vessel to leak.
Pumps were kept constantly going.
Finding the water gaining the crew
made ready to leave the vessel. At 8
o'clock p. NJ. five feet of water were in
the hold; the vessel became INA
ageab BILE and went over on her side. The
crew got a boat ready with some small
stores, but in lowering the boat cap
sized and lost everything out Of her.
They got the BOAT alongside again and
all hands got into her without oars,
water or provisions. About 20 min
utes after leaving the ship she turned
over and sank. All remained in the
boat foul days and nights without any
thing to eat or drink and wet through
all the time and with no compass. On
the 9th they were taken on board the
schooner Skylark and brought to this
port.
