Oil land, you may escape many of the horrors w hich the seaman has to em "mi ter. Few situations can be conceived more horrible, than that of a vessel in flames at sea, or of an agitated crew who having lost their all on deserting their sinking vessel, arc still left to drift upon the trackless ocean, expos ed to all the horrors of hunger, eold, wet, danger and almost hopeless desolation.— There arc few afflictions, if any, upon the is picked up by the gig. Our anxiety was now to save us inony lues as our three small boats could possibly swim with ; and 1 rejoice that 4U were mira culously preserved. A few minutes after l quitted the wreck the main and inizen mast fell ; the dame, rapidly advancing forward, drove num bers ol the poor wretches on the bow sprit, where it was our hard lot to be hold them frantic without being able to render them the least assistance. You will judge how the boats were crammed when Imsb.inds who had wives and chil dren still clinging to the wreck, exclaim ed against more being received I, We kept close to the wreck till day light next morning, in the hope that a- ny vessels which might be passing would see the immense body of tiie, n inth con tinued raging till about 3 o’clock the next morning, when every thing disap peared. A little before daybreak, the carpenter discovered n vessel close to us. We seized our oars and were on board her in u few minutes.

It if taken frum Ihu last N. York Mercantile Advertiser: Aftsr three hours, with the greatest ib(li- mity, they succeeded in cutting aw ay the Jauffyarffs, when the vessel righted, kut.con- tinued underwater. They now tallied each other to the fore top mast and fixed it across file quarter rails near the stern, in which si tuation the sea continued to break over them during 48 hours. To describe the feelings of the sufferers at this prriod, language is m- udeipihte. Mr. White, from St. Jniin’s Cu ba, after remaining SO hours on the wreck, with no other clothes than his shirt, died in extreme sznnr. The next day Mr. Francis Sage, of Middletown Connecticut, died.— 4 in the third day the wind began to abate, when the captain and crew, C in number, k Mr. Weygent, of Penn, the only remaining passenger, being nearly exhausted thruucli hunger and fatigue, endeavored to obtain some water or provisions from the wreck, but after many attempts coold only succeed hi obtaining aeven oranges and a lew roots of unripe plantain: the latter having been floating in saltwater afforded vertr little not), rishmenb An orange was divided into se ven parts, which wsi equally distributed a- mongit them every day,nnd was the only rut- Unanct could be procured. On the seventh day their sufferings increased to such a de gree, that death would have been consider ed by all us a happy release. Their scanty allowance being now exhausted and no pros pect hut being buffetted by tile winds, a few days longer, drove them to the verge ofdes- prtr. On the *lh day the misery was be yond description, their legi snd arms were attacked with the most excruciating pains— and broke out in every direction with nice r«ted sore*—their speech failed, and a con tinual tremor pervaded the whole system.— On th* lentil dot Mr. C. Weygent, after en during unparalleled sufferings, expired Ins fingers having become numb, he had eaten them off to the second joint. On the ele- venthday, about day break, a vessel was dis covered standing towards them, the wind was blowings galo—it was the brig Slilira, Capt. Patten, from New-Orleans bound to New-Yurk, who wilh the utmost difficulty, k at the imminent risk of his life, succeeded in rescuing the sufferers from the wreck, and to w hose liberality and unbounded hu manity, they feel tile greatest obligations.— The Captain i( now in tire most helpless si tuation; the whole of bis proptvty was in the seviel and cargo, and w hen uken front the wreck be had neither coat, hat, Stockings, nr ehoes. And to add if possible to human suf ferings, he learned that flic whole of liis fa mily, consisting ol'his.wifefuid two children, had died about two wceks previous tu his ar rival. 1.4. Epturibus unum eito perpttua ! SIJIP.WKKCK. The following melancholy detail of the lots of the Abeona transport, on her voy- age to the Cape of Good Hope, is taken from the London Courier of the Ifilh January. •• On the 25th of Dec. in lat. 4, 30, N. long. 8ft, 39, W. about lo minutes past noon, the alarm wrs given that the nhip was on lire. Il proved to he in the lazaretto abaft, the receptacle cf all the ship'* store* nnd provisions. Every tiervo was exerted in handing water to the first mate and seamen who were down in that place : but all proved use less, for tbe people in a few minutes were tlrireo up from below by the dense smoke, and the rapidity with which the lire communicated itself to every sur rounding object. In 10 or 15 minutes from the first alarm, the cate was hope- less, the ship being io * perfect blaze Irom the msinmnit aft on the lower deck; and from the intense l\eat of the up- p^r one we momentarily expected the lire to peoelrate it. 'I he rkff » J **»« mg (lie horizon, and seeing nothing, the ciiptaiu was induced to cruise about the neighbourhood till unon, when he said he could detain the ship nu longer. This Jreadfol accident was occasioned by Mr. buff, tbe first mate forgetting bis ivontcd prudence in taking the candle out of hi* Isutliom to sue something more clearly will), when a spark from it or the candle ilsulffcll on sumo of the com bustible matter around, liis grief nt having been the cause of such destruc tion, made him, when solicited to save his life, decline it. “No," lie said, “ I pity those in the boats the most ; for with us it will soul) be over, but they will be eating each other in u few days." You will sea by the list saved, that numerous youug children arc included. The pereulal aAection never shone w ith greater lustre than on this occasion ; mothers and fathers apparently regard less of themselves, caught up their young children, and threw them into the boats; and in one family (Barrie’s) tbe eight juniors are preserved—one a child only lb months old—while the ooble parents, with their eldest son and daughter, are numbered with (hp dead. Another cir cumstance of a great soul deserves to be recorded. A Mrs. McLaren, with her husband aad four children, upon tbe llaines advancing, retreated into the lore channels, when, recollecting that her husband was a good swimmer, she im plored him to sat e hi* own life, snd leate iier and their children to the fate that awaited them, as he could n s avert it ; and her wishes were attended lo.
