Little Hope for the Crew

SoMEK's POINT, N. j., Feb. 25.-Hope
appears to have passed away for the safety
Of the three masted schooner James Fl.
Gordon, of this place, which sailed from
Jacksonville, Fla, on Jan. Is, with cargo
of turpentine and muir stic acid destined for
Philadelphia.
On January % the Clyde lines steamer
Seminole passed q three masted schooner
on fire off Cape Lookout. Those on board
the steamer noticed the words Sooner 8
Point, N. j. on the stern of the burning
vessel, but could decipher nothing else.
Floating barrels of turpentiue were also
seen, but there was no indication of the
captain and crew, who were supposed to
have escaped in boat and may have been
picked up and carried away by another
vessel, as were the crew of the schooner
Porter Of Somer's Poiut, also lost this win
ter. The absence of news for so long a
time, however, has q tendency to destroy
this hope.
