John• - _Rutledge, Cant. Kelly,'•6l NeW-York,
whilticin her voyage from, Liverpool to this
port, struck upon an' iceberg and sank, with
the niate;carpenter, and 30 to 35,passengere
on board. • Qur infortnation in regq to this
disasteris derived from the only known sur
vivor; Thomas W. Nye of New-Bedford.-
- So far as we have been able to learn, the sub
joined narrativeeorttains all' of the facts , in
thC•case : .'
1 The-packet-ship Jelin Rutledge left. Liver
_ pool ortitie 16 ofJanuary, with 120 passen
gers; and Ii crew of officers and men num
bering., ". all told, 16 persons. During the.,
passage Abe encountered' severe . weatar.—
One of her crew was washed off the bowsprit
and a male .passenger **Married throith the
bulwarlis by a heavy sea and drowned. ' On
the 20th of February the John Rutledgewas
'struck by an 'iceberg' and went down.
.. -, uOll3 leaving his vessel, Capt. Kelly,find
in that she leaked badly, manned the pumps
with passengeri3 and seaman ; and as:theleak
continued to gain lati;t• m her, had abciut, 100
bags of salt and a number .of crates Of crock
.cry broken out of the fore hold and thrown
-4overboard. • Getting' clear, of the ice soon af
ter, it was diseovered that's plank was start
ed..from the forefoot, and an ait'empt was
made-to stuff Ale leak with blankets' and rags. ,
' It appears thatrtbrs wasnot very Successful,
as the captain subsequently decided to abau
- don the vesiel.; Therit-'Were,fi%'C'large•boats
on board, InlAleh 134 persons`were.' to he
~
saved. How the captain bore himself at this
• time we couldnot learn, as the-surVivor lies
in a very critical, sltuatuini and it Was, as.
. much as Ins lie was worth to question hino
: closely. We . .,,nly know that four boats put
off before that iln which Nye was. The cap
tain's boat wal the only.one of the four which
• gara compass. How Capt. Kelly - distrilAi
, ted the provisions and seamen we muld;Uot
learn. Tile last boat which left the ship Co
n •onty thirteen-persons. It appears that
!Atkinson, the I mate,, put his wife into thl-
1 .. . , ,_ ,' Z
- boat, and,, wan - the carpenter, went to 'sound
the pumps. -While they we're crone the:boat
was struelC)4la heavy sea, which broke her
, - -
from fastenings, and she rapidly, drifted
/front - the ship; leaving the mite end atrpen
• .ger, with.frorni f thirty to thirty-five of the Fa
sengera-ITI
~ Ixtard. ...When last seen' the ship
`_was-
down to-her mizzen chains in the water;
and from the; Character of her .carg o

iron:'and crockeryshe_probably went down
_ln a short time afterward.-- Of the thirteen
persOns :in t.ll, last boat, there were four wo
\often, -one little gitl, five male passengers,,
l'' Mr. Nye, a Scotch sailor, and, the boatswain,
_ an Iris4man i Whose wife resides in New-York.
''.For the subsistence of these people there was
only one gallon Or water and six Or eight
.pounds' of bread. 1 The Iroate. had placed a
coMpass in the boat, but his wife, in' leaping
• from 'the'slip, hitd broken it: Cast thus
. helplessly upon the open se4famong the fogs
' and mists of the tanks of Newfoundland,and
surrounded' by drift and berg ice, their pros
pact eould hardly I have been more gl4my.
Soon after the boat broke adrift,night came
.on-how it pas.ed may le.imagitted.' From
.what we could learn, but little was said by:
' any -ene, and probably al I,of them soon ,came '

`bread does norappear. The , probability is
that' there was no organ!zation whatever
among the little party, but ckery on _looked
.-out for him'seit. Baying no compass, 'nor
'", sign .by.which to steer, they ., did mit - exert
'.themselves, other than to keep the Oat be
. _fore • the (sea. The sailors were iirarrnly
-Oothed as was also Mrs -Atkinson-;tbut the
.
7 paarrigeis, for the most part, were very.'
~,,,samtilv -attired,. and suffered keenly from the
°Y.licold. - Day after day only dawned to raise
.- 4 • their spirits anew ,with hopes of succor,which
; the lcmpand dreary nights turned to the
Tbitterness of despair. Thus tithe passed -itn
-.

a man whose clothes were quite too thin to
' 'shield him from the bleak weather, sank un
