Bynm,one of the three tor-vivort of the bark Coys, of London, loot on tbs voyage from Sidney to San Francisco* Not. 24. A distressing eoene is gtren as foliows :About7 12 o’clock o.m, we were all down at tea, when the second mate re ported land on the lee bow. Capfc. Paige came on deck and immediately ordered the fiihp to be wore round. Shortly afterwards, breakers were reported right ahead, and the ship coming round very slowly when all of a sadden she struck very he aril j on the rooks and swung round broadside on. The eea kept lifting her from rock to rook, crushing her bottom in. She bad at this time made considerably nearer shore, and we all gave ourselves up tor lost. Tbe eea commenced breaking over the bows, carrying everything before it. The boats were swept away by this time. The passengere were all on deok now, exoept Mrs. Jeffries, who had been confined two days previous. The scene now was something fearful ;• the main deck, being torn up from tbe pressure of the water underneath, made one of the most frightful noises ever heard, the ladies soreaming and being washed away one by one, and drowning under the fee rigging.One of tbe ladies, Mrs. Rowden, had a life-buoy on, which Dr. Rowden generously took off himself and gave to his wile, thereby throwing nearly all cbaDce of his own life away to try and bevo his wife, but it was of no avail. A tremendous sea bow run aft and oarried some more poor fellows to a watery grave, and cleaning everything off tbe poop. There was a move upon tbe skylight being washed off level with the deck, and Mr. Bvrnes smashed down head first into the oabin. The ship St this time gave a very heavy lurch and settled over to the windward, with the mast on a level with the water. What few remained now were about ten in number, all sitting upon the side of tbe taffrail, the sea now breaking over us very often, until we began to get beoumbed in the limbs with the cold, as at this time do one had sn more than a shirt and a pair ef trowsers, ready to do their best for shore. It was enough to pall the energies of any man when he looked to tbe leeward and saw what a frail man had to contend with. Nothing to be seen to leeward bat a mass of hissing foam dashing I with fearful violence over the rocks.The end of the last few who were left n the doomed ship was fast approaching, rhere we sat, looking death in the face. Jome were making prayerB to the Almigh-y to assist them, while others sat in mute lespair, but not a cry of anguish, or a vord was to be heard, even when the ship tommenced crashing up from forward and oming aft to set us all adrift on the raves. We did not think one would be sft to tell the sorrowful tale. All of us | re now tossing about on the wild billows, can count five that are struggling in an ddy that is whirling us round and round, rapping at anything tba* comes in their ay, one man catching hold of another to ave himself, and both going down; it is U self now. But out of the whole com-any only three are to be saved. The ret that is thrown upon shore is a young lan, Walter Cooper, who clings to a ieoe of timber with death's grip; the aves dash him under for a few seconds;3 comet up again and rides on shore on to top of a wave. The next one on shore as Mr. G. Byrnee, a passenger, who had life-buoy on. He had a great struggle, e waves rising up over him three times, id barying him under for several seeds; he waB nearly carried back by the soil.The last unfortunate man that came on ore was Mr. Bairstow, first mate, who d a cork life-felt. He had been sitting the last alongside the captain and sec d mate, who wanted him to lash him-f on to the taffrail, the same as they 1 done, and take the chance when the p broke up of being washed a hore; but refused. He had ahaid time of it,) belt not being boyant enough, and he i to get the assistance of a board to sp him up. He was very badly hurt ong the rocks, but a friendly wave ded him on shore. Those that were ed had great difficulty to crawl out of water when they were landed, they re bo benumbed with cold.Ihe three survivors met after they got j ho re, and passed a most miserable lit, huddled up together on the eand, being aware of any habitations being tend until daylight broke, when ibey fenoet and cattle a mile off, which led ouV to 'Mf: on 'Messrs.
