Morton) with the crew, took to the mast, which had been cut away; they first drifted to sea, and then drifted back. About 12 o'clock, Monday night, drifted into smooth water, between the vessel and the land.--He then tell asleep, supported in the crosstree. When he awoke, towards morning, he missed his companions, who had taken refuge with him on the mast. About 9 o'clock this morning he was picked up, as stated above.--The cabin boy refused to leave the wreck, when they all (four in number) took to the mast. The brig is owned by Samuel H. Travers, of Baltimore. The body of the captain was found on Keywah beach. It was recognized by the mate, and was decently interred. Beyond a doubt, the mate is the only one saved — every one else has perished.
