Thomas Freeborn, the New York pilot, had not been found yesterday morning. His brother is on the beach searching for him. No loss, since that of the New York pilot boat Gratitude, has caused such a general and paralyzing griet among the pilots and their friends, as that of this inestimable, zealous and fearless man, who was dearly beloved by an extensive circle of acquaint- “| ance. Tie sorrow of his mother and sisters is not to be assuaged. Many mourn him as a brother— for the angry waves never engtlphed a nobler sailor. The relentless surf st:ll moans over his body ; but the sea can give up its dead, and be at peace, whilst years will not eflace the remembrance of his good deeds. From the seamen of the ship we learn, that from the moment when Capt. Stark found it necessary to take this New York pilot aboard, Mr. Freeborn was indefatigable in his endeavors to save the ship and lives, but he split e new main-tcpsail aed fore- topsail in trying to keep off shore, and all the head sails being crippled, was compelled to attempt to run her ashore. He squared the yards and headed her for the beach. She struck on the outer bar, and the second blow broke herback. She forged ahead about two lengths and then brought up. Exertion was made by the captain and matesto send a boat ashore with a heavy line. The first boat was stove. The yawl was tried with better success ; but the current carried her farto the southward, and the line was too short They could not pay out from aboard, and as the boat was in the undertow, in the surf, they had to cut the line to save their lives. The loss of the rope was truly disastrous—for, though it was im broad daylight, no entreaty could induce the Jerseymen to try to board her, although two of the seamen immediately offered to attempt to return with the surfmen. Untortunately, the former efficient wreckmas- ter, John S. Forman, was removed from office on account of his politics, and a man with little skill, and less energy, has his place. At ten o’clock there were many big-boned Jerseymen on the beach, and all on board had g hopes. The pilot, Freeborn, who thought the men on shore were uman, cheered all hands by his encouraging voice and manner. Hourafter hour passed—some of the sufferers, stout men, dying from time to time—but still there was no succour, and yet Freeborn was on the alert, active in the cause of humanity—shelter- ing with his own clothes, and all he could gather, the women and children. Capt. Stark, from a warmer latitude, soon became benumbed, and all hands gathered on the fore-top- gallant forecastle, and on the foremast. Four o’- clock came ; it was low tide, and the surf abated— but no boat was sent off by the wreckmaster. Night came on, and the etoutest were appalled. The tide rose, and the ship broke up San The nd Capt. Stark, | with Freeborn, the women and children, all fell in- to the forward part of the ship; the broken,timbers were tossed about for a moment, and the shrieks of the dying ceased. Some of those on other parts of the broken ship were washed ashore with life, Thus perished Thomas Freeborn, and with him | top-gallant forecastle gave way, ani thirty-seven others. _ It is the opinion of the seamen saved, that no lives would have been lost, if proper exertion had been used on the shore. When Mr. Forman was wreckmaster, he drew a surf boat several miles, at a gallop with horses, and saved the lives on the Austrian brig Astros, when the thermometer was 9deg. below zero. On thia occasion, the excuse was, that there was no surf boat near. But it is in proof that the crew of the New Jersey were saved at the same time by a good boat’s crew. As night came on, the wreckmaster offered ten | in dollars tor every life which could be saved, but the useless boat he presented debarred all hope. He had but little command of his men, for, although he set guards on the ship, she was boarded that night, and every passenger’s trunk, and seaman’s chest, was cut or broken open and pillaged. The Cap- tain’s chronometer was stolen, with about $1000 in gold, which he had putin it, and locked and strapped securely. The box was found with the strap cut, and the chronometer and gold were missing. A carpenter, who had three hundred dollars in gold, ayed on board, to try and save his sick brother. He was drowned, and the dead body was robbed; for only $115 are reported as having been found upon him by the wreck- master. Pork, lard, and wrecked goods, are being stolen at all points—and yet they impudently charge the men saved seventy-five cents tor a bite of victuals, and steal their clothing for pay. One tavern- keeper, treated the sufferers humanely. His name is Finley, and to him the men are truly grate- up, the proprietor ! harged twenty-five cents, (all the money the sailors had,) for ten crack- ers.
