We thank Mr Heaton, her purser, for our Melbourne and Southland files. Another tale of loss of life at sea on the voyage from England to this port, comes to us from the olipper ship The Bruoe, which arrived In port on Saturday from Liverpool. The ship aaifed for Melbourne so far back as January 10, but had to put into Charente in consequence of the havoc made on board by the stormy weather she encountered after leaving port. After a prolonged detention, she sailed from Isle d'Aix en March 8, and shortly afterwards was agaia •x posed to fresh westerly gales. On March 10 the outer jibstay was earned away, and while several of the crew were on the forecastle and jibboom, going to secure it, the ship gave a Budden and tremendous plunge, and submerged the mate and five of the men. The mate and three of the men were saved by clinging to the head gear, bat two of the crew named John Johnson, a foreigner, and W. Knox, a native of Scotland, were swept away and never seen again. The second mate and four of the crew were out in a lifeboat in a very short time, and made what search could be made for the missing men, but without success. The accident occurred at 10 p.m., and the night being dark, the possibility of saving the poor fellows was very much les■tned. Others of the crew were severely hurt at the time.— Argus. A STRANGE STORY. A remarkable story of the foundering of a ship and the death of her captain, has been communicated to us by Messrs Bury, Leech, and Co., the agents of the barque Lindsay, which has arrived at Melbourne from Christiana, Norway. It is contained in the following statement by the master of the barque, Captain A. M. Bull:—" On the 3rd February, 1873, in. lat. 48° 45' north, long. 7° 53 x west, we fell in with the Satellite, of Liverpool, bound from Cardiff to Rio de Janeiro with a cargo of coals. Found the vessel in a sinking state, and sent a boat with four men and the mate to her. The mate found the captain of the Satellite in his cabin, and he refused to leave the ship. The mate stayed on board seme time, endeavoring to persuade the captain to leave her, but was unable to do so. The cook, who was the only other person on board, left the sinking ship and eame on .board of our vessel. We stayed with the Satellite until she sank, at about half-past one o'oleck p.m., and also waited about for some time afterwards, ia the hope of picking up the eaptain. We, however, saw nothingof him, and then proceeded on our voyage. The cook said tbat the crew had left the Satellite on the night before (2nd February) in a boat, at about ten to eleven o'clock. I saw nothing ef them. On the 15th February, 1873, fell in with the Rovina of Aberdeen, bound from Liverpool to New Orleans, and we placed the cook on board of that vessel, at his request. A. M. Bull, master of Lindsay. *—Argua.
