of forty-eight persons who were on board
her at the time of the accident, twenty-one
perished. The survivors were taken off the
wreck by the brig Swift, cf St. Johns, and
arrived at this jx>rt yesterday.
The following persons were hji :

PARTICULARS
Os the loss of the Ros*-'ln.BlooM.
The Role.in-Bloom left Charleston on
Satuiday, the, i6rh of August, with the
wind at S, W, which continued - til) the
Tucfday following, when it changed to the
E. eccafioned a very high sea, though the
wind vun by no means great. Thus it
continued till Friday, the morning of which
was ufhcrtd in with every appearance of a
heavy gale* At noon on that day, a storm
of great violence arose, with thunder and
■ ligh nirg so fierce and vivid, as had rarely
" it
who were on board,
. At this time, the captain becoming ap
prehensive thaf the wand, being at North
Etit, blowing very violently, andofeourfe
the drift of the veifel towards thcland being
verv great, he might get aftiore, set a dole
tecied (orefail, in hopes of the vcffel claw
ing off, Under this (he continued labouring
till twenty nurtures after nine on Sunday
morning, when (he upset. Nothing of tie
hatches being battended down, the lea made
its way through, and ru(hed by them into
the hold, while the cabin was immediately
filled with water by the way of the com
panion. With an extraordinary prcfcnce
of mind, supplied by the love of life, opera,
trng upon brave and intrepid spirits, some
0. the passengers in the cabin ruflud up the
companion, and some bunt their way
through the (ky.light, and got into the Tea.
Among the firft cf those was Miss M‘Pher
fon, whom Mr. John Rutledge, by vigor
ous efforts, got up the companion.
About three o'clock in the morning, they
were cheered by a distant light, which the
manners infilled was a (hip’s light. It in
creased in size—it rofefaft from the horizon,
and they had soon the affiitflion to preccive
that it was the morning star, instead of the
light of a fiaip. At day light on Monday
the gale had quite abated, and the heat he.
came aimed as painful as the cold had been
before.
In little more than an hour after sunrise
a fail was defen'ed in the S. W. (landing,
as they thought, towards them. She after,
wards seemed to charge her course : which,
probably, was owing to the weather being
ca.m, and consequently not anfwcring the
helm. ®
At B o clock, while the men wer* with
great difficulty, but not more danger than
t.iey would be on the wreck, making their
way, they and the wreck were difoovered
by the fail, which turned cut to be (he
k brig Swift, of St. John’s, N. B.

i Phelan, 3*hofe condud, upon this ccca.
fi®ti, ranks hi.n amongst the noblest instan
ces of that pure benevolence and philanthro
py, which do honor to the human race, and
so generally distinguish the hearts of that
oppressed nation.—He immediately bore
down to the Wreck, put o»t his Jolly boat to
fuccour the fcanaen on the spar, and his
long boat to relieve those on the wreck, and
got then ail in fafety on board his veflel,
the weather being dead calm. He continued
by the wreck till the evening—footled the
a.ter part of the quarter deck which was
above water, and by great exertions in di
vind, caafed force few trunks to be fayed,
which helped to clothe the lurvivjng fuffor- f •
ers. Nor wa, this all. Tb hit immortal
honor be it said, he would not flop doing
good while any good remained to be done!
He himfelf attended the lick. Retailed
the exhaufttd flrtng|h ot t ; f
who were well; gave up his own H ai .£*
and clothes, and thafe ol his creyv, to covep
the unfortunates he h. d faved'—in a vt-n’d
did every thing in his power to tntke |j, e *
comfortable. And what was mote than all
without hefnation, confentcd to go out ts
his course in drdcr to bring the fuTererk » 0
