FA mi INK AT SEA.
melancholy Story of suffering on
Board tuc American ScUoouer Moses
Waring.
The Gibralter CJlwiicfo of January 20 states
that the British bark Minnie "Gordon, which ar
rived at that port on the preceding day from New
York, brought the master and two seamen of
tho United States eohooner Moses Waring.
This vessel was water-logged in a
gale, and on the 18th of Gecember was
fallen in with by the Minnie Gordon, when the
survivors of her crew were taken off the wreck
in the last stage of debility from exposure end
famine. By the humane and judicious exer
tions of Mr. Leslie, the master of the Minnie
Gordon, their lives were preserved, but they still
stand in need of medical treatment. The dread
ful tale of their sufferings is thus given by Cap
tain Leslie.
December 18, lat. 38.10 N. long. —, W., •end
ding off 8. E. by E., under double-reefed top
sails, foresail, reefed mainsail, and foretopmast
staysail, winaW.N.W., blowing hard, and heavy
sea runniDg. As daylight broke I saw, bearing
Ns N. E. from me, something which looked like
two spar bnoys, standing at an angle of 60
degrees, just as far as the eye could reach. Ab day
broke clearer could make out with the glass that
it was a vessel waterlogged and on her beam-ends.
Then determined to go close enough to
ascertain if there were any of the crew still on the
wreck. At 8.30 A. M. could with the glass make
out what appeared to be, two men on the port
quarter. On approaching nearer saw three men
waving a piece of while canvass; stood close up
under the lee of the wreck arid hove to, got out
large boat, in doing which stove one side of her.
MrlChas. Miller, chief officer, and three seamen
started far the wreck. After great exertion and a
hard prill succeeded in getting the captain and two
remamg'men In the boat, .and got safely back to
the bark, hoisted in the boat, and proceeded on
the voyage, taking the weak, famished men Into
the cabin where there was a stove, giving them
dry clothing and some sttrimlants and email
quantities of water often repeated, they having
had nothing to eat or drink for seven days and
nights, with the exception of when the mate
died: two daya previously, they all cut Borneo*
. his raw flesh and ate ft, the cook having died
befofelthe mate, and his body washed over
hoard. They were complete skeletons, the cap
tain being in the worst condition; his cheeks wero
sunk in till they appeared to touch each other:
their feet and ' legs us high as their knees wore
completely paralyzedand dead fromlong expo
sure and submersion iu cold water and want of
exercise, as they had just enough of the wreck
above water to hold on to. They could not pos
sibly have survived that day through hod not
Providense kindly sent me to their assist
ance. I gave them food by degrees, with email
doßes of brandy and water, and rubbed their feet
with soap liniment; then put them to sleep ini the
warm cabin. On waking the Captain gave me the
following account of the loss of bis vessel, stating
that two daysprevlooß to my lolling in with him,
a brig, westward bound, name unknown to him,
saw them and Btood towards them until quite near
(weather moderate at the time), when he put up
his helm'and ran away from them. The schooner
was the Moses Waring, of New York,from Bruus
' wick (Georgia), bound to New York with cargo
of yellow pine flooring; encountered a heavy N.
E. gale on December 11, when fifty miles 8. E. of
Absecam, shortly after which sprang a loak, and
was unable, with both pumps going, to keep her
free; she settled so deep,and becoming unmanage
able, thiy cut the gripes which held the deck
load, and had no sooner accomplished this than
6hc fell over on her beam-ends, and the heavy
sea running at the time over her, waging away
deckload, cabin on deck, and all water rind provi
sions, leaving them perfectly destitute of every
thing but the clothing they stood in. Their suf
ferings must have been very great, so much so
. that they found themselves obliged to cut up the
mate's body, who had unfortunately succumbed
before Uem on the fifth day. I did everything in
my power to make them comfortable; and finally
succeeded in bringing them to life. ,
[Washington Correipondenco of the N. Y. Herald.]
A Presidential Coup B’itat Looked
Washington, Feb. 16, 1868,11 o’clock P. M
Washington gossip haß been actively engaged for
several days past with the resuscitated scheme
of impeachment and the critical condition of
Southern reconstruction on the Africon 'exulta
tion, basis; but these absorbing topics are begin
ning to wane boforo a new euoject, which seems
to promise a sensation that wilt even outlivo the
prescribed nine days. Political prophets arc
turning their attention towards the move
ments at the Presidential mansion'
and appear to descry somewhere
in the near future a distinct foreshadowing of im
portant eventß soon to transpire. They do not
letl altogether satisfied with the mystery that en
velopes the movemeuta of the President. His
extremo forbearance and dignified self-control
under the many triuls of patience bo has encoun
tered during the present session of Congress, but
especially in the late War Department quarrel,
taken in connection with his re
cent unexpected orders . creating
the new Military Division of thd Atlan
tic, have impressed his enemies with a Benso of
uneasiness wtpeb they endeuvor in vain to con
ceal. They seem to feel that a few trumps yet re
main in the hands of the President, and there }s,
no knowifig at' what unlucky, moment for them
said trumpß may come down with a vim that will
work sndden and effectual demoralization. The
action of the President in nominating Lieutenant-
General Sherman for the brevet of general;
the order appointing him to the command of the
Military Division of the Atlantic with his head
quarters here; the reinstatement of Adjutant-
General Lorenzo Thomas to his old position in
the Wur Department, and the proposed increase
of the military force in this district, all
of which was decidod. upon and ordered
with so much promptness, inspire many
old politicians with the belief that the
President is coolly and- carefully maturing a plan
to checkmate anything of a revolutionary char
acter that may pe hereafter attempted. These
matters are giving rise to a great deal of specula
tion as to their Import, and already rumors are
abroad embodying the guesses of different indi
viduals who assume to be well posted in regard
to their sigfaifliitioo.
