We are happy to find that the Pelham packet, late from this river, had certainly reached Barbados, notwithstanding what was said to the contrary: - and on which we founded our announcement in Tuesday's Paper. - Gentlemen, indeed, ought to be generally more circumspect in this particular; - if it be only in mercy to the feelings of families.
In this instance however, all is well: - but not so, in respect to another. There, in fact, all hope is futile; and the friends and relatives of Capt. Greenidge - (whose life, of peculiar vicissitudes, was ended on Wednesday by a calamitous death) - have only to unite in christian [sic] resignation, with those of all who shared the same fate. The circumstances attending the event thus introduced and generally lamented, have been detailed to us, to the following effect: - the schooner Swift, it seems, departed this river for Barbados, on Wednesday last; and had on board as passengers, B. Thomas, Esqr. of the Commissariat Department of the island he was bound to, and two youths of the name of Giddens. At night, however, and coasting it rather too near in-shore, they found themselves at once on Mahaica bar - a strong wind from the north blowing the same time. Perceiving his danger, the unfortunate captain rushed towards the helm, and was in the act of seizing it, when a squall operated so powerfully, that he was struck over-board and the vessel instantly upset. For some hours, the unhappy sufferers clung to the wreck, but dropped in succession, till five only remained (the mate and four negroes) - whom a boat afterwards saved from death. - What adds considerably to the melancholy nature of this event, is the unprovided-for-situation of the Captain's family.
