Nautical Correspondence. Opp Sandt Hook, I On Boaro thb "Henrietta." J Mr. Series Editor: I left the New York Yacht Club House last Wednesday, as you know, onboard the steamer Rt ver Quetn, to join our fellows on the (my friend Mr. Bennett's) yacht Henrietta. Of course, froing down the bay, some of our fellows aboard tbe steamer, being nautical fellows, made observations, some of them not complimentary to the chaps that hadn't the pluck to sail In their own canoes across the pond; but, as 1 said before, we all made and took several observations; they passed the bottle to me, and I took one or two myself. The weather being cold and bracing without, it became necessary for us to brace up inside, by taking a few "bumpers," else owr ribs mlajht be stove In, as I have seen many a fine cruft served by not having the proper "bumper-" on board. At the table on board the steamer things were a little unsteady on account of the wiud bliw ing sou'-west by sou', and the Commodore's bottle being empty, tipped over; ho thought it an omen that his should turn over, while the others didn't, aud he was about going to "go back on the bojs." I told him it was easily accounted for, his bottle was all drunk. This created some laughter by the chap who gets up the Budget of Fun. He patted me on the Bhoulder, and said it was a good joke. I send U to you, Mr. Editor, and if you see a joke in it, I shall think there is one. Leaving Trinity Church steeple, Castle Har den, Bcdloe's Island, and other fortifications in the distance, we arrived at Stanleton, and there was the Jlenrk tla, sitting on 1he, waves like a duck, and, iudced, from the amount of sail on deck, you might say a canvas-back duck. We steamed up to her, and Commodore Bennett myself, and a few other plucky fellows got aboard of her. For what happened after that I must refer to the Log. 1045 A. M. The crow now began weighing anchor; the exact weight wa3 not notel, but, judging by the pulling, it mint have been pretty ' heavy. , After the anchor was weighed we were taken in tow by a tug, as were the Feato .and Fteeturinj, when we all steamed for Sandy Hook on our way to the "Needles." The Commodore and myself went below to see that tbe wines and things were carefully packed away; each of us packed away a little wine ourselves. 11-15 A. M. We have now reached the "Buoy'? Off the Hook; Mr. Bennett suggests that we all get ready. I go to the side of the yacht and unpack - some of the wines' and things that I took aboard coming down on the fctcamer. A sailor comes along with a mop, and tells me to "go to lu'ard.'' I had never heard of tho place. Could'nt go if I had ; I was too sick. 1160 A. M.. Wind high about these times; but our Commodore haviug been so long connected with tho newspaper press, the Mate told me, was used to "heavy blowing.'' The sails now began to go up; I, at the same time, began to go down.. Heard the fellows halloing out, "Set the foresail !" I just wished they could set me, for 1 felt completely upset by the rough treat- ment I received at the hands of Old Neptane. ' Not more bo, however, than was a chap on board the tug, who was making some sketches for one of the pictorial papers, when the Cap tain shouted out: "LET 00 THE PAINTER 1" When some ignorant deck-hands, in less time than I am telling you, heaved the poor artist, sketches and all, into tbe bay. We got him out, however, after some difficulty, and he, af,ter having the little mistake explained to him, felt perfectly wet, if not satisfied. ",' 1 P. M. Captain Fearing shouts, "Oo 1" and the men up on deck are halloing back to one I PACK AW AT TBE THINGS. 3 P. M. The Henriei'a began head in? for old Long Island's tea-pirt shore; the sailing master told me that whenever she paised a small inlet or creek pho Immediately bore away towards it; he accounts for it by sajing she mistakes Dlar-es like that lor I'lini Gut. We have now sailed but an hour, but I beem to think that you can have too much of anything, however. I 00 INTO MT STATK-R00X and.'go to bed. The yacht gives a lurch.thc Com modore says wc ran across the bar, and there is a scarcity of water there, which is the cause of the pitching. I thought how like it is in life on shore, when a fellow runs across a "bar" too often in a day, how poon he begins to pitch and roll, and especially it he experiences a scarcity ot xoater on the bar. 6 o'clock P. M. The Commodore waking me up to supper, I come out of my state room, U9 I went in, in a way "more forcible tlan elegant;'.' aud lucky for the supper table that it had no legs, but was suspended from the ceiling the way I should have been, if it was desirable at nil to have me in a perpen dicular position. At supper, the Commodore told me we were out on the wide ocean, and that we had better write something and put it in some bottles and throw them overbonrd. We thought it a good idea, and we all began empty ing bo t ties for that purpose, and kept it up until' we had a half-dozen in readiness, when we con cluded not to put anything In them that evening. Off Montauk Point. It is now Wednesday morning, and last night I had a night of it, and came near having my death in my berth. I saw the beautiful etuuted pines on Montauk Point. I asked the Commodore if he could oblige me by putting me ashore on that inhos pitable island. He said he could back the maintopmast staysail, shake out the flying jib, the jlba-Jib and jibtopsail, aud. luff the storm stajsails and trysails, hauling the Henrietta around.to the weather. I told him I thought that would do; in fact, I would get o!F without him doing all that with the jib-a-jib and things, if he would run me ashore any where where it was dry landing. Captain Samuels said he would put me aboard of a porpoise if that would serve me, but he thought it would be unadvisable to run ashore just there. I appealed to Commodore Bennett, and he said he would put me off on the "buoy," and signal the first pilot-boat he saw to come to my aid. This seemed to me so much more desirable and safer than another night on the Marietta, especially if tho Captain is going to run his boat under the water, leaving nothing out but the masts and the upper halt of himself and crew, that I gladly availed myself of the otter. ' ., Oj thb Buoy, off Montauk Point 3 P. M. Henrietta, Fieelw'ng, and Yesta have just die appeared below tbe horizon, while I am anx iously waiting for a pilot, as I have read in geographies that this is a dangerous coast at night, aud I shall not attempt to land while the wind blows so, and while the shore remains at s.uch a distance from me. 4-30 P. M. Ha! ha! The pilot-boat Good Boy sees me; the Captain mukes a tack for me; he sends two men oil in a small boat; I make violent demonstrations of joy. The men in the boat get frightened at me, aud row back to the vessel as lost a9 they can; they get two more men aud their guns and then attack me, and finally take me. On reaching the pilot-bunt I learn, with joy, that she is leaking badly, aud is making for New York as fast as possible. Midnight. Arrive at Castle Garden, after six hours of hard pumping. The Agent of the Emigrant Depot refuses to let me out that night, on account of my excited . appearance, be lieving me a European crimiual, and 6ivys he must hold me until ho telegraphs to Europe to see if I am missing. I explain to him how I got there, but he locks me up until morning. Thursday Morning. Tho Captain of the Good Boy has Interceded with the Emigrant Agent, and I am set at liberty. I now crowd on all sail, haul down my gaff-topsail over my cars, button up my studding-sail overcoat, putting both hands in my pantaloon's bunks; I lay my course right up Broadway, with the intention of rounding to at the first sign of "Entertainment for Man or Beabt." - Thursday Most.
