Admiral Sir John Ommimney has written to the Secretary of the West India Mail Steam Packet Company, explaining how it was that no steamer went out immediately to search for survivors from the wreck of the Amazon. No authentic or precise account of the wreck was brought to him by Mr. Vincent, or by any other of the survivors; the only assistance given him towards a correct knowledge, was by Commander Kennedy of the Coast Guard ; his account was but vague, but it included a direct and positive statement, that no boat left the ship but the one in which Mr. Vincent escaped, and that shortly after he left, the Amazon blew up, and not a vestige of her was afterwards to be seen.
