BosroS, April 2.-The schooner
.id,iie Good arrived from Surinam,
reports on the 9th ult. that she fell
in with the wreck of the brig Roanoke,
Wilk.e from Philadelphia for Porto
Cabello, and took off William Mcguire
Learner who had been on the wreck
8 days. All the others of the crew,
eight in number, and 3 passengers,
AIr. and Mrs. ballet, of New YORK.,
and a Spanish gentleman, had been
washed overheard and drowned.
BosroN, April "Details of the
wreck of the brig Roanoke, are most
narrowing. The following is the
statement of the only survivor: Left
Philadelphia March 10Th on brig
Roaaoir, Capt. Wilkie, with a crew
of nine men and three passengers,
the latter were Mr.. and Mrs Dallett,
and u Spanish gentleman. On the
18th encountered heavy gale which
carried away sails and everything
movable on deck; finally the vessel
became unmanageable and preached
to, and the masts were cut away,
every sea making a clean breat over
her. On the Goth sawa schooner and
made signals Of distress to her, but she
continued on her course. Had she
laid TO all hands would probably have
been saved; had q little preserved
fruit and some lager beer that day
on the 22d there was heavy north;
west gale, tho sea breaking over us
clean fore and aft The vessel had
commenced to break up. The cap
tain wished to take to the boats to
save life, but was persuaded not to
doit. In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Dallett were exhausted. They shook
hands with the Captain and mate,
babe them goodbye and expressed
a hope that they would all meet in
heaven. Mr.. Dalett took his wife's
waterproof and wrapped it around
her head. They embraced each other
ard the sea soon swept them over
board. The Spanish gentleman soon
followed, said his prayers, wrapped
quilt around his head and leaped
overheard in Il delirious state. Soon
after this sea carried away the after
deck, with the captain. steward one
sailor and boy. The stern broke
away and went next, with the mate
and second mate, and boy was
drowned nearly alongside. The Soc
ond mate was on the poop when last
seen. Only two men were then left
with myself. Everything was gone
down to the lower deck. We were
dashed to stump of the mainmast
and suffering terribly from exposure.
A brig passed close to us, but did
not stop. We had some tal!ow to
ca. but suffered terribly from thirst.
1t blew a gale all night, and on Fri
day the gale continued. Saturday
we had fine weather; we saw square
rugged vessel to leeward, We got some
candles and a tin box of sard:nes,
but no water. On Sunday it was
blowing southeast; one man became
crazy from thirst and drowned him
self. On Monday there was a gale
from the southeast with some rain,
but the sea was breaking SO that we
could not get any fresh water. Tues
day the gale still continued from tho
southeast; at daylight saw Schooner
which proved to be the Addie Todd,
and on making signals she lay to,
but it blew too hard for her to assist
us. When the gale lulled she beat
back to the wreck, and after trying
five times I succeeded in catching
line and was hauled on board. While
