In our account week before last Of
the drowning of Capt. Zarnott, of the
bark Bernhard, we stated that it was re'
ported the captain hailed the bark and
that a boat was started to him, bat that
the men had to pat back in order to
themselves. Mr.. II. Siebe, then
mate but now captain of the Bernhard,
called to see us and states that Capt.
Zsrnott did not hail the vessel, that
those on board the Bernhard never saw
heard of the unfortunate captain after
he left for Biloxi, ana they knew moth
ing whatever of his distress. Capt.
Siebe relates that a boat was lowered
and started to the rescue of the men
aboard the schooner Independence, but
she sea was running so high they had to
put back.
