By this time the fire bad cut off a) communication with the saloon, The first quercer boat lowered was struck by the counter and lost, weich caused hesitation aboot launching the others.

The flames were momentarily expected to burst out and sweep the decks, the fre gangs baving given up all hopes of extinguiehing them, but continuing to apply wet blankets, &c. The side of the ehip was then so hot that when she rolled it would hies gna make steam of the sea water.

We bave since ascertained that she was only one hundred and ninety eight tons burthen. Captain Leitch made all baste to get us into the boats, which was extremely difficult, being lowered one by one with ropes (Captain Leitch stood by all the time), commencing with the women and children. But with all the exertions that could be made, when the sun went down only about two hundred had been got on board the brig. Captain Wilson, of the brig, said, “This is a horribie affair to see the sun going down and so many poople yet on board the wreck, settling down and burning up. 1 will do ail in my power to save them.” Several of the boate’ crews, on reaching the brig, refased to return, when Captain Wilson said, “I will go almost alongside and take baweer from on board, and then you will be in little or no danger. 1 must get every one from the wreck.” This ke did, which bad the efiest of giving confidence, and by great exertion all were got op board the brig by elevea o'clock P, M.
