Disaster To The Barque Harvest And Loss Of Thirteen Passengers. We continue to receive further accounts of the disastrous effects of the late gale on the shipping. The barque Harvest, Captain Crawford, arrived on Fridav, from Liverpool, left port 28th July, with 23 passengers, and on the 11th instant when in latitude 40° 20, longitude 68° 30, experienced a hurricane from ENE, with thunder, lightning and heavy rain, blowing away foresail, spanker, spencer, and foretopgallant sail out of the gaskets, also a close-reefed fore and main topsail and topmast stavesail, and broached the vessel to, shipping a tremendous sea, which swept the decks of water casks and everything moveable and also shifting the cargo. In the height of the tempest thirteen of the passengers were unfortunately lost. Becoming fearful of their safety in the fore part of the vessel, the steerage passengers made an attempt to get aft for greater security, in doing which thirteen poor souls were washed overboard when the ship broached to, and sank beneath the raging sea. The balance were successful in the endeavour, and were taken into the cabin. The Harvest passed on the 30th ultimo, in latitude 43° 30 longitude 50° 29, the wreck of a ship of about 800 tons, dismasted, with bowsprit standing. She was painted black, with ports, inside cream colour, and had anchors on the forecastle. She did not appear to have been long adrift. Captain Crawford also reports the following unfeeling conduct of a pilot boat: On the 13th, between Montauk Point and Block Island, spoke a pilot boat, who enquired if we wanted a pilot, and on being answered in the affirmative desired me to round too and he would run under my lee, which was done, when he asked what water we drew, and being told fourteen-and-a-half feet and asked to bring some cooked provisions aboard with him, as I had lost all my cooking utensils in the late gale he went off and left us. The boat was painted white, had no number in her sails, and appeared to have a round stern. - New York Herald, September 20, 1854.
