New Yonx, Nov. 12.-The brig Cen
taur arrived from Greytown yesterday,
On the second Of October she picked NJ
q Spanish negro In a boat belonging tc
the bark Toronto. Of Glasgow, which
was wrecked near Navasso, but when,
and under what circumstances could NOT
be learned from The negro. Tho crew
abandoned the bark In the same boat,
and all perished except the negro. He
was insensibls when found. A reporter
has had q talk with the rescued seaman,
from which appears that soon after leav'
ing Navasss q furious storm arose. md
at II o'clock ut night the foremas,
broke Of close to the deck. They cut
AWAY the mast, and IN hour after
the main mast gave way leaving only
the miIzsn mast. The Tempest WINS
very violent, the Captain was below
sleeping. and the first mate lying on
deck disabled by q nail in his foot.
Land was then discovered. and the
Captain called, under whose orders all
hands took to the long boat which was
almost full OF water, and Z Of the men
were washed of. Some OF them chung
to the oars but were soon washed away,
and the violence Of the ave speedily
carried the boat away from the vessel.
There were now seven men In tho boat
with no provisions. For days they
drifted without food, but securing q little
water from rains. From Maximas' &C.
count Il seems clear the men lost their
reason. He describes them rs walking
about. looking at the sea and sky; some
leapsd into the water. some lay on their
backs with their parched mouths open,
and 30 died; others lay against the
boatsids and dropped until they died,
speaking not q word to comrades. One
by one they all went, throwing them
selves or being thrown into the sea.
Al length he alone was left. He ate
sea weed to sustain life; ho caught n
sea bird occasionally, and sometimes q
fish. When found he was drifting alone
hslplessly. and was reclining against
the aide Of the boat. his head dropping
over his bosom, and could not move.
The boat Of the Toronto on board the
Csntaur. shows whore II had been
scraped by these men for tho purpose
OF eating the dirt that chung to the
sides.
