la Distress.
From Sergeant J. M. Watson, cJignal
Officer at t hie Ut kay we are indebted for
the following infrrration: The schooner
Chtiuhiiat Captain M. E. Lank, bound
from Mariogoma. Hayti, for New York,
put in at Smithvilie yesterday (Sunday)
morning in distress the Captain and mate
having di d on the way from yellow fever.
The mate died ou the 24th inst., and the
captain three days later, on the 27th, and
were both buried at sea. The vessel was
built at Baltimore anrLwas owned by the
aptain and mate, who must have been
related, as 'they bore the same surname.
Captain Lan hailed from Seaford, Del
aware. The vessel is now quarantined
at the regular station a few miles this
side of Smithvilie. One man who was sick
his been sent to the hospital. This is all
the information we can gather in regard
totho unfortunate vessel and crew, except
that the man now in charge of the
schooner is Svena Paulsen, and is no
