wrecked.

The large three-masted schooner James
Ives, of 800 tons burthen, was wrecked
ON Five fathOm Bank a week ago last
Sunday, Jan. 27. She was commanded
by Capt. Godfrey Fairbrothers Of Pleas
antville and partly owned by him. She
was loaded with coal and bound from
Newport News, Va, to Providence, r. l.
There was no storm at the time and the
wind from the northwest. The vessel
was run on the usual course. but one of
the buoys that marked the location of the
shoal had dritted nearly two miles from
its proper position and repect all
the captain $ calcutions. Suddenly the
vessel struct the shoal and in a moment
was hard and fast on the bottom. She
soon began to pound heavily, and the
water pouring in she became a total
wreck. The captain and crew, consist
ing of eight men all told, took the boats,
some of them not even saving their spare
clothing. Shortly afterward they were
picked up by the steamer Charles F.
Mayer, from Baltimore, and carried to
Portsmouth New Hompshire, where they
arrived on Tuesday of last week. The
weather was rough and very cold off the
New England Coast, and tile snow be-
tween one and two leet deep in Pors-
mouth. The vessel was valued at $4,000
and was partially insured. Capt. Fair
brothers and Gideon Risley who also
was one of the crew, arrived home Thurs
day evening not much the worse from
their unfortunate shipwreck and thankful
to escape with their lives.
