Two Hours in the Waters of Long Island Bound
tTA B ILEY II
CHAPTER I.
A BOAT-RIDE AND A STORM
It was a beautiful day, about the
'middle of May, 1861, that, after din.
ing, I left the precincts of far-famed
Yale; accompanied by J. Harvey W.,
of Green Mount,. Pa., and. T. Clark
S., of Pittsburg, Pa., who, were both
my college mates. We proceeded to
No. 174 Chapel St., (New Haven, the
sett of this venerable Inatitttion,)
where I was then rooming, to take a
social smoke; and whilst inhaling the
luscious perfuMes oflour fragrant Ha.
bannas, for a time to bury in happy
oblivion the. dull routine of college
exercise's.
Whilst smoking, and having ex
hapted various
.topics previously at.
tracting,our - attention, we concluded
to take a sail. The day was calm;
just breeze enough stirring, to plough
the billovis of the dark, deep, blue wa
ters of the beautitel, island-decked
.
-sound. It was just
. such7a day, as
those, when in, the wide. expanse of
the"quiet: Pacific, ,the :golden crested
'dolphi it: ere represented by mariners,
, as•coming to the surface to display
their sportive gambols. Nature, which
in the higher latitudes of New Bu.
land, is obliged to struggle longer
with stern 'Winter, before: she 'gains
the victory, than in the sunny realms
of the South, was just cobamencing
to iiebk herself in her most lovely
charms.
Having proceeded to the harbor,
we hired from Capt. J3rooks, the
"Lennet," a bow. rigged, swift-Sailing
schooner. Merrily, we danced across
the waves, hardly taking note of the
'time, until the dim hazy outline of
the now scarcely perceptible Connec
ticut shore, , warned us, that we had
accomplished a distance of about 20
miles, in an incredible short space of
time.
We then directed our course to a
small island, to gather shells, and
spend a few hours in watching th e
billows (which were even now rolling
faster and higher than when we de - -
parted from the harbor,) burst upon
the sandy beach. Our pleasure, how
ever, was of short duration. Scarce
ly had we landed upon the island
when the heavens grew black, and in
the mirky dista.nce.of the far West,
was heard the sullen mutterings of
'the impending storm, Over both
earth and sea was sod deply stretched
a gall° pall, as if the guard art 41,4

of storms was determined to make us
respect the impunity, with which we
had dared to trifle with his dominions.
We Instantly proceeded tu our an
chored vessel, took up the anchor,
and unfurled 'the hoping, that
by giving all sail to the heightening
breeze, we might still be so fortunate
as to reach the "City 'of ; Elms" be.
fore the storm should beret . in fary
upon our heads. Alas ! how delusive
frequently are the fondeat expecta
tions of man. I was the only persdn
in the party, who had any knowledge
of sailing or .managing a- vessel,. the
. knowledge of WhiCk robtained early
is my, college eareer,'When being con
nected with a boat-club, termed the
."Atlanta," consequently I, was unani
mously appointed to take charge of
the craft. This had been an easy
task, whilst all had been smooth sail
ing upon the placid waters o!:' the
Sound; but now conveyed with it
a fearful responsibility.- I felt con
scious, that upon my own unaided ex
ertions, depended our lives. Startled
by the peril, which bad suddenly
burst upon, us, I gave my orders with
promptitude, and soon our scheoner
was under a full bead sail for the spa
--
dons tiiiiber of the "Elm City." As
We advanced the sky grew darker
and darker—whilst the storm `iiiged
tempestuously. The fierce roll of the
thunder..drum of heaven was - heard,
whilst the lurid lightnings played be-
fore and around -us with dazzling bril-:
honey, a phenomenon, which startled
us the more, on - account of being so
unusual at that season. Beneath the
influ6ice of the gale, whicb 'Was now
PreSsing 'Upon our still expanded sails, -
the lee and aft scuppers were pressed
to the very water's edge; whilst the
heavy strain of the blast upon the
rigging and tlie'cireaking of the cord
age, warned us, that even our staunch
vessel could not long withstand 69'
tremendous a squall. -
By mutual consent, we now divest
ed ourselves of our coats, and other
sUperflu . ous garments hoping to pre
serve' them from being soiled by the
billows of thi foaming brine,' whibh
were now at - almost . every moment
dashing over e'r Of' theVeiiqr;
and also for the purpose of allowing
our limb more freedom, should it be
come necessary to swim for our lives.
Had I 'followed the dictates of pru.
dente and of my own judgment, I
would have instantly taken in . the
sails and anchored. our vessel, or, if
pursuing our course, at all, have done
so, under bare poles. I, however, al.
lowed the dictates of my own 'better
judgment tobe overruled by the wish.
es of our friend Mr.. W., who . was, the
most terrified of all on board, having
never previously witnessed a storm
at sea.
Amidst the terrible hashing of the
rain, as it deliceeded in torrents' ; the
wild isea:riq of the billows, and the
still increasing darkness of the sky,
our hopes of reaching the city in
safety, were momentarily decreasing.
There seemed to be naught awaiting
us, but to be engulfed in a watery
grave, with no survivor to chronicle
to the living our premature fate. It
appeared indeed,
,as if old Aeolus of
mythic fable had marked us as his
victims, and was pouring upon us his
legions stein and vast, determinad to
overwhelm us. Even in that hour of
uncertainty, gloom, and sable dark
ness, I was forcibly struck with the
similarity of our position to. that of
the noble .peas and his brave band
of Trojan folle%Vers; so beautifully de
seribed by Virgil in the' opening vet.-
see' of the first book of igneid.
now felt the following lines, with far
more force, than when at College. I
first.perused this grand old 'Epic po
em in the original, under the iiistrne

Eripinnt outfit° unbes coalumque dinmquo;

Raving charge 0,1 both helm and
the rope attached to the • Mainsail,
found my duties more onerous, than
I could possibly perform. Wearied
by my extraordinary labor, I request
ed Mr. W. to take charge:of the rope,
attached to the sail, which had se
verely chafed .my hand. Whilst I
had charge of the. rope, I. had given
it to the wind as I considered most
prudent; and I had directed Alr. W.
upon taking the rope to the sail, to
act in the same manner; and also to
follow such other direction, kg 'I
might from time to time confide to
him. He was a.mah.of gigantic size,
and of great . muscular powers; in
fact of a perfect "Colossus of . ..Rhodes!'

THiTERIT, AND R23Ctil
How long we rerifained in the water,
before we arose, to "the surface, I am una
ble to state. At anY'rate, it seemed to
me like an age of the most .awful intensi
fy.. Neither do I know, who first retich- .
ed the surface. No sooner, however, did.
Mr. W. "peep his phiz" above the gar ,

was observed to cast his eyes up to the

cast with ebon plouds)jo such a pgniten
tial mood, and - with muscle drawn, and t
anxious look as if it were his last, he died,
into be, done,; where i 540,7.
•Aiiiithen we all T set in; - "'o77n/to
help ! help ! rescue us from the bosom
of angry Neptune !"
Truly all things appeared gloomy to
our little shipwrecked band. We were
still ten miles from the shores of the Elm
City," consequently beyond the reach of
mortal aid.. No teeble sound of ours
would be able to reach the shore, and no
eye was upon us but that "All seeing eye"
which never slumbers. Our condition
was indeed forlorn and destitute of hope.
One of ray first movements upon reach
ing the surface, was to compel W. to take
his long legs off our Totindered bark,
(which I observed was gradually sinking
from his.ponderous weight,) and like the
rest of the party seek his safety in swim
ing or rather floating along with his hands
attached to the vessel. ' Whilstthus keep
ing ourselves above the water, the billows
ti
every moment dashing over tis,OUr reflec
tions .were far from being of the most
pleasant character; hilt with that instinc
tive love of life, which is ever found in
man, we determined to cling on, whilst
one ray of hope remained. We were not .
long also in, ascertaining that our boots
•
were a burden to us—hence we unanimous
ly agreed-to dispense with them, and thus
gave them to the laihing waves of the
mighty deep. Then the idea that our
watches and coats were put in the cabin .
shortly-before the capsize, seized Mr. ThO.
' Clarke S.'s mind. .His watch was ofgreat
value, and a last present of one' of his
most intimate. relativeS. Hence he at once
defer rained to 'haiard lit life for his water.
In vain did we implore him not to attempt
so rash and inconsiderate an act. All at
once he descended into the water,--sought
his way into the cabin, miraculous as' it
was, brought forth not only
. his riWn
watch, but in addition Mr. W.'s and my
own, &c.
.For two hours we-remained in this' fear
ful condition. Alternate hope, and des
pair would take possession of our breasts.
—But—hark !—What sudden noise is
that in the offing !---Yesthere can be no
mistake ! A steamer is 'coming up, with
fearful plunges, directly in ourtrack ! Per
haps her passengers may see us, and then
we will be rescued ! Oh what,reanimat
ing joy thrills each heart afthis prospect !
Or perchance (and at that thought each
cheek is blanched still paler with fear,)
she may plough her way right over us in
the midst of the storm; and we be buried
hi the briny billOwS:never to rise again:
With feeble cries we hail the Vetteis.
—Thank Odd, we hak:e been , heard, 4
life buoy is thrown torus; we are saved; .
—No* when the danger of our situation
was 'happily over, and rejoicing'=overt the
victory we gained over Neptinie; in .pile'

A FLING AT DRESSING GOWNS
My name is. Albert Fling. lam an

wedded to Mrs. Fling, and married,to
business. i hid themisfortune,Seme
time since, to break - a. leg;; and befdre
it was mended, Madame Fling, lop.
ing to soothe my hours of convales
cence, caused `to be made for Mae -a
dressing-gown, which on due 'reflec
tion, I believe was modelled after the
latest Style of straight-jacKet., This
belief is confirmed by the.'fact that
when I put it on, I am at once On•
fined to the. house ; fgetr., mad,' and am
Soberly convinced that if any of 'my
friends were to see me Walking in the
street, clad' in this apparel, they would
instantly entertain' ideas of insanity.
In the hours of torture endured
while wearing it, I have y appealed to
my dear wife to truly tell me where
she first conceived the thought . that
there was a grain of comfort to. be
found in bearing it on my back I She
has'candidly answered that she first
read about it in divers English novels,
and sundry American- novels, the lat
ter invaribly a rehash of the first.—
In both of these varieties oethe.same
species of books, the hero is repre
sented as being very comfortable the
instant he dons tlkis garment, puts his
feet in slippers, picks up a paper and
—goes to Bleep.
Afi;iend of mine whobas discover.
ed that Shakspere knew all about•
steam engines, electric telegraphs,
eottongins, the present rebelliou, and_
gas -lights, assures me that dressing
gowns are distinctly alluded to in The
Tempest:
"TameoLo: 0 Xing Stepbaro! look what a ward
robe here k for three !
CALIB4 N : Let it alone; thou fool! it is but trash "
Having thus proved its age, let us
next prove that it is iitit§ dotage, and
is as much out of place in this nine
teenth century as a monkey in a bed
of tulips.
We Lind in the Egyptian : temples
paintings of 'priests dressedin these
gowns: proved that they are antiquely
heathenish. And as we always asso
elate a Man who wears one with Mr.
Mantilini, this proves that they are
foolish. !Ergo, as they are old and
foolisli, they are in their dotage.

'Good gracious, Fanny, do you

N. B. Fanny is my wife's first
name.
The second time I had brought the
woodsaw and horse from the cellar,
and was exercising myself sawing up
my winter's wood, in the summer
.kitchen, according Dr. Howl's ad.:
vice,• when the Irishman from the grd
eery entered,. bearing a bundle.
My hack wag to liim, and. only see
ing the gay and flowry, gown, he
exclaimed in an awfully audible
whisper to the cOok - --!

neighborhood thather brnte of a.hUS

I turned an the-Irishman, and when
'he saw my whiskers he "tivailed.
The third tiine,l *as blacking my
boots according to Dr. Howl's advice

the larynx, opens the oildsophagers

chosen what Fanny called herconserv.
atory for• my field of..operation—(the
conservatory has two dried fish—go.
ranlutns and a dead dog-:-rose in it,
and' a bad smelling cat—nip bitsh,)
when who should come running in
but the identical Miss X , who
caught nie shaving.
'Poor 'Fanny r, said Shn, before I
could turn round, 'do you black the
boots of thAt odionS brute ?'
‘Miss X ,'said I turning t;rl.
ward her, folding my arms over my
dressing-gown, spite of . having a damp,
unpolished boot on one arm, and a wet
blacking brush in the other hand, for I
wished to strike a position and awe-at
the eame • time; 'Miss X ,I am
that, odious brute himself !'
If you had observed her wilt, droop,
stutter, fly !
My wife went to the sea shore fait

THE CAVE OF MACHPELAH
We spoke some weeks ago of the
visit of the Prince of Wales to this
holy spot. Since that time we have
learned the particulars of his visit,
from a correspondent of the London
Times, who is probably 'the Rev. sir.
Stanley, the chaplain of the expedi
tion. It itppears_that the Sultan de
clined to give the young traveler a
finnan, ordering his admission to the
mosque. This illitstrates the peculi
ar relations- in which Abdul Assiz
stands to his people. It is a common
but a grave error to imagine that the
Sultan is an. autocrat, guided by his
own 'will. lie, is simply the slave of
the book, the servant of the Horan.
He "could no more enunciate an effec.
five decree in opposition to the prin.
ciples of "the religion" as believed by
the people,-than he could dePrive the

The Prince accompanied by his
suite, went down to Hebron. Tbey
found that the approaches to the
city. and the city, were already in pos
session of the Turkish military, and
a great display of more was made to
suppress any riotous demonstrations.
The party went directly to the
mosque,

es very little that is new. He in fact
confirms the brief account of Ali Bey,
heretofore 'Made public. The "tomb"
of Abraham is in a recessed room ap
poached through silver gates, while
the tomb of Sarah is opposite. Those
of the other patriarchs and their wives
are Scattered around, all of- the same
general form of Turkish to'dtbe, cover
ed with rich shawls and carpets. The
floor of the- court being reached by
steps, the Writer of the account thinks
that it is higher than the top of the
hill on the side of which the 'mosque
is built, and that the cave is therefore
actually under this floor. He is mis
taken however as to the height of the
hill, which ascends behind the mosque
far above its highest walls. It ap
pears however that the royal party
saw nothing of the cave. They were
shown a
in
hole, about eight inches
across in the 'wall near the tomb of
Abraham, said to look into the cave,
and, they were told that it. was many
hundred Sears since anything more
had,been El e'en of it, although there was
no reason to doubt that the cave re
' divined. there. But not, e'en the Sul
tan himself bould.be alloWed to enter.
The party .were convinced that no
other entrance to the cave exists. The
tradition was told them that 2,500
years ago a King penetrated the cave
in- some other way, and returned to
daylight blind, deaf, withered, and
crippled. With entire respect to the
royal- party, we thiek, they were de
ceived, and that an. entrance to this
portion of the inbsque, under the
platform, and possibly to the cave in
the rear, is known, and hag bean used
quite lately. -
It-Eieemw to be the opinion of Dr.
Roiien, and 111. r. Stanley, and the oth.:
er gentlemen accompanying the party
that the tombs on the platfcirin are
erected over the spot where the early
Christian or Jewish tradition placed
the sepulchre of the raver& pat'ria'rchs
and theirwives. On this theoiy they

PERSONAL-
MAJOR GENERAL JOHN POPE, who
has lately been complimented by his
Government is comparatively a young
man yet, having been born March 10,
1823, in Kentucky "(accOrding 'to the
official register) though appointed a
cadet from Illinois. His father was
- United States D:etrict Judge of Illi
nois for many years. The eon grad

and Lieutenant of Topographical En
gineers. In August, 1846, be joined
General Taylor's army in Mexico,
during its advance on Illonterey, and
was breveted First Lieutenant "for
gallant and meritorious conduct" in
that battle. As First Lieutenant be
marched with b is coilipanions through
the malariaus regions of Central M.eX
ico, and was, an active participant in
the severely fonght and dearly bought
battle of Buena Vista, where he was
again breveted Captain "for
.highly
gallant and meritorious conduct"—
For his gallantry in this engagement,
and other distinguished services dim
ing the war, he was also presented
with a magnficentaword by the State
of Illinois. From 1849 to 1858, he
was engaged in various engineering
and exploring expeditions, receiving
the marked commendations of the
War Department, and winning an
honorable reputation at home and
abroad for his scientific researches.—
I n 1859 he married a daughter of Hon.
V. B. Horton, of Ohio.
At the breaking out of the rebellion,
President Lincoln nominated him as
Brigadier General at the time of the
call for three years volunteers, and
he was stationed in Northern Missou
ri. Since then his career 'has been
well known. His. system of breaking
up the guerrillas first showed hiis or
capzicity. His capture o f
nearly 2000 rebel recruits in M
demonstrated his remarkrble celerity;
while his glorious success at Island

GEN. "STONEWALL" JACKSON. This
noted rebel chief is everywhere de
scribed as a "slow man" intellectual
ly, even dull. Some say he was a te
dious professor, and agree tfait he has
a creeping look. And . yet, ifask
them now what they. mean by that,
they say they do not know; "all they
do know is that he is as obstinate as
a mble„ and phickj , as a bull dog,"
which means just nothing of a man
whose prime quality is celerity,quick
conclusions, and startling execution;
who, as a soldier, is as rapid as he is
wary, abounding in surprises, brave
almost to rashness; and inventive al
most to rorhance.
As for his outer man, he looks at,
