During this time some of the pasechgors— amongst thom two old sea cataius—a for of tho oil ors ard o number of sullors were busy coveriag elie of the sbip with a Inrgo studding eait, whilst the carpeutors trom the inside were endeavoring to stop the leak with mattreseca, quilts, &c.

Daring al! this the baling never ccased, but as we found the woter tucreased rapidly, the comviction was forced upon us that @ second hole existed beuesth the water linc, Notwithetanding throwing over- powrd the cargo, and the continued bailing out, the ship Was sinking rapidly by the stern. Two large casks were then used to Dail the water, the captain and officers lond- ing a helping bane with the tackle, For a moment wo Voought the water was decreasing, but it soon over- powered us, The baltog bua insted frm 6 A. M., to3 P, M., and the mea were exbausted with fatigue. Toe captain thon lowered the boats and embarked the peseergera and crew. In order to bo prepared for the worst, @ rait had been built darikg the day, of top masts, spers, cabin doors, board, chicken coops, &c., &o , and op it were placed two barrels of wine, two puncheons of Water, and various kinds of eatablos, sufticiont to last the fifty persons placea upon it, atleasta month In the first cuiter were some twenty-five persons, amongst whom were the fret and second engiacers, the steward, his ne- phew, wll the cabin servants (ten to number); this bout wes under (he command of the chit officer, Mr. Rouseeil. ‘This beat bad on board compass, charts, cbronometers, a tcxtant, and provisions for two weeks, with compicte set of pew vaila. A second boat, same size of the former, took off twenty-five persons; she had the same amount of food, nautical iagirume:ts ana new sails as the Uretcutter, and wes under the coameand of the two rea capians. A life beat, cootaia'pg about twenty per- cons, and having, like the other, a complete set of sails, provisions aad ivatrumenta, was placed under the orders of Mr, Dublot, third Lieutenant. Another lite boat, con- twaing clghteen persons, with provisions for two wecke, ‘wes piaced under the command of cepenent.

AAT O’clook A. M., on Tuceday, the 4th inst., the Cap- taim, perceiving that the ship could no longer float, and wes likely to etuk every moment, ordered those cn board to ombark in the yawis; he, bimseif, was tho last to quit the ship. Before the oilicors took to the boats under tbeir respective commande, the Captain called them into the deck bouse of tho steamer, and pointed out to them on the chart the spot in which they were, en¢ explained to them the direction they must follow, in order to reach the nearest land. At o'clock A. M., the three bots made headway towards northwest in company. On quitting the wrock, the captain was soem with his mea tn one yaw, and Gret officer wiih pur- ver in the otber, near the yalt. The captain deetarod his intention of remaining by the wreck until the Lyounus tunk, The reft was moored to tbe hull with ten fathom bawser, and @ man stoo¢c ready with an axe to cut loose when she sunk, ‘The three boats kept company until 6 P.
