POSTSCRIPT.
Just as our paper was going to press, we
received the following from a correspon
dent at St. Augustine:
SHIPWRECK.
Office of the East Florida Herald, 3
Sept. 29, 1824. 5
Extract of a letter to John Rodman, Esq.
Collector of the Port of St. vugustine.
Duvu Sin—l returned last evening from
an excurson into the country, and abom 8
miles to the south of tire S* John’s Bar. T
observed a wreck; she came on shore, on
the 23d inst. and is apparently an English
brig of about 250 tons, loaded with mahoga
ny and logwood. Her name was torn from
the stern, and a large tin box, containing all
her papers and accounts was emptied and
destroyed a short time before ! arrived. It
was difficult lo discover what her name*or
flestinat-on was, Tbe Box I allude to was
marked Emerson SJ Cos,” and on the side of
it, “Sarah’s accounts.” From the fragment
of a letter of instructions which escaped, it
appears, that she was commanded bv captain
Rowe. The brig is coppeied—her masts
were gone, but tliestump oftbe foremost re
mained oil ihe top of which a spar was lash
ed and a platform made for the crew to stand
on, and on trial was secured a barrel of pork
—there were no living persons on board tbe
wreck, but one dead body and a part of ano
ther was found, and from the great stench
which issued from the hold we supposed
there were others below. Sire was seen off’
St. John’s bar on the 22d and a large topsail
sch’r near her employed in taking thing?
from tbe wreck, which on the approach ot
the pile's deserted it, and would not be spo
ken.* f rode about 12 miles on the beach,
and found it strewed with pieces of vessels
and lumber. A large brig and sch’r loaded
with lumber are <>n the beach of Amelia Lsl--
and, the crews of which are said to be mostly
lost 3 or 4 of them reached the shore on a
spar.
I have thought proper to inform you of'the
situation or'tins brig, as it is important that
those interested should be informed of her
fate.
It is certainly very strange, that the under
writers of London and Liverpool, as well as
those of America have never appointed an
agent on the Florida Coast, that part upon
which, above all others, one is most wanted,
and would render them the most essential
services.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.
v JOHN HU BOSE.
* This sch’r is supposed to be the same
vessel which was seen for several daj s oft’the
bar after the storm.
In addition to the above we add, that the
wreck was taken possession of by Mr. Phi
lip Salano, and every exertion made for.the
preservation of the eargo.
There is also the wreck of a sch’r. lying
about a mile south of the bar marked
of N. B.
We have been two weeks destitute of a
mail.
