NFw YORK, February 22.-The steamer
Guyaudotte. which arrived this morning
from Newport News. brought Captain
Coalin and seven men OF the American
brig Georgiana Geary. wrecked off Cape
MAY February 18th. The brig sailed from
Charlie ton February 9th for New YORK,
lumber-laden. and had rough weather
until the 18th, when she was obliged to
put in Hartford inlet on account of a
northwest hurricane. She let 20 both her
anchors. but the anchors dragged and ne
cessitated cutting away both the masts,
after which the anchors held her fast.
The vessel leaked badly and was in
danger Of fCuuderIng and the crew con-
cluded to take the small boat and make
fer the Five-FGthOm Bank hght-ship.
They reached the hght-ship safely and
were taken from there Yesterday by the
GuyandOtte and brought to this port.
I he crew saved nothing except the clothes
they wore Ibis Is probably the same
vessel reported bv the steamer City of
