PERILOUS FIRE AT SEA. Core of Cork, Ave. 27. 1814. elitscrt.r.sttvs—This day at two p. m. I arrived here in the Orbit, of Liverp.sol, Captain Peers, he having picked me and my ship's compatis tilt at sea. It is with h,.arttelt grief I have to announce the loss of OA Mars (by fire) on Thursday night, the 2.5:11 instant, Waterford be 'riot. abciut six seague's distance. While sitting in the cabin %ill) M , . Kekev (passenger), the Nlate came down at eine o'clock, and sair there was a s trong smell of ; I instantly went on deck, and folint the watch that was below in the fart-ens:lo, had come oven derk sutforated HIM at that time there was rte smoke from any ',flee part 0 the vessel. We immediately began throwing sxslice dawn lac testa astle and cutting a ih.le in the dt ck, to try if we could find where the tit , was, when the smoke issued front the ate. reie in such vi lun.es that yet wore all likely to he suffocatt;d. and could scarcely see une another ot• deck I instantly conCluded the fire most be its the main hold, mid jin• Mediate' . ordered the bouts to be got out and to bleak the ru: , in hatche- open to see if we could find the fire there, as it was I mpossible for a: % person to go below in the steerav or forecast.e ; and such was tht. rapidity of the dames, that before we could get the long boot nut. they were issning-sis feet high through the math hatchway ; and it wa , with the greatest difficulty we succeeded in gelling . the boat out ove , the side, as the vessel was in a few minutes atter in flames from iht fore hatchway to the cabin doors. It is impossible for met() describe She horror s.ot the sight of the vessel, and the frantic state of the Irma', pagseaKers t alto g.t out of bed on the first Maros, anti come on deck. There eras no time to get eilter water, irovisions, or any thing i , the boat : and had it not been that Providence threw a vessel in tin way, we must Itsve been turned on the sea without any kind of anstr ranee, sonic without c rvering, in an open boat. The Orbit, Captaii Peers, of Liverrol, hove iu sight, awl, seeine our Mist-eased .lion, ipionediately hove-to, as R$ 141 b.ittrd, tt :tie!' being stbor ten ''clock. The attention of Capt. Peers and passenetrs on board abit, to t very 'milt 'dual, merit my most siocere thanks. In cal.ing tt.e people over by their mosses, before trotting the ve.o.e! I found there was one missing, and judging be might he down 'in If forecastle trying to get some of his clothes, and not able to get up rtgai on.accouot of the smoke , one of the men, nt the risk of his own lit( went down and totind hi u, made a rope fast round tutu, and be w:.. hauled up without imv m...usetion, but we succeeded in bringing him life on hoard the Orbit. By what means the vessel to k fire, God only knows, as there ha' been no light whatever either in the forecastle or steerage that Diet) and there was no fire in either of those places until ;after it brol, through the insist hatchway ; and for any person to have communicati. - with the hoist was impossible, with ut bring known, as the vessel r, buts-headed up f 're and 3tt. I leave saved scarcely any clothing-npn t a hat to wear. Shall retioi • to Liverpool as soon as I remain, (ientlemen, your obedient .ervant, (Signed) PH WILLIAMSON. Mum, Ellis and WNeitl. Tile.
