LOSS OF THE WHALING BRIG AMHERST, AT STEWART'S ISLAND.
From Mr Fisher, wo have also particulars of the wreck of the brig Amliersfc. While cruising off the Solander she was struck hy a heavy sea, causing her to make water very fast. Tried to make Preservation Inlet, but owing to the weather was obliged to bear up for Stewart's ißland, and succeeded in getting her into a safe spot in Port William before she filled. She now lies under water, the deck awash at low tide. The sails and whaling gear have all been saved. The master left her on Sunday last, and arrived at the Bluff on Monday morning, from whence he intends taking appliances, with a view to lift the wreck. — Ibid.
