Nothing worthy of note has transpired since the commencementof our voyage; and we were now streaching for the South Aineri can coast with good winds, in a fine ship, manned by as noble a set of men, from the cabin to the fore castle, as ever crossed the sea. Just a week had Passed since we crossed the line, and there was noth ing. in the world to mar the prospect before -us, of being up with the Cape in due season, in snug trim- It was the second mate's middlewatch, and my first trick at the helm. The Captain appeared on deck a few minutes before four bells; and after casting his eye al'oft and twigging the coMpass, ordered the log, to be hove : The Heaver was a beautiful sailor, and was walking away at the rate of eight knots and a half, and that to, without making noise eno u gh to wake a_skip-jack. Though the night was as dark as pitch, which, as some of you know, is particular ly the case in these trades, when neither moon nor stars are to be seen, the Captain appeared to place implicit cort.ldence in the steadiness of the.breeze for.the remainder of the night, and, after takitig one or two turns on the . quarter deck, 'descended to the. cabin, apparently highly satisfied with the course and Fogless he was making through the water. It was, as I have said,*the night following the an niversary of our American Independence ; and when I left the wheel, and went forward at four bells, I could not but notice the effects of the potations which had been, drunk during the day to the remembrance of the founders of our liberty—for there was not a man on deck, except Mr. Walker, the second mate, who was in the round-house smoking a cigirr, arta the man who had just relieved me at the wheel, but what had his dead lights in, and was cruizing away in any other sea but_that which was bearing the Heaver on. Two or three were coiled snugly away under the Ito of the tryworks, and from the noise proceed ing from their cut-waters one would think they wore carrying on at the rate of eighteen knots, at the least calculation—,while others lay scattered about, around the heel of the bowsprit, on the forecastle and unjer the tvindlass., • I immediately saw the necessity of keeping a bet ter lookout than was apparent from the condition of those around me, and was proceeding p) jog him, when Mr. Walker gave oi 4 ders for loosing the flying jib ; but so deep were the slumbers of those forward, that the command was unheard by any one, save myself—and, concluding they would immediately be aroused by the officer, for the purpose of hoisting the sail, I jumped upon the bowsprit and laid out on the boom. 1. had , barely commenced throwing off the gasket, wheit my ears were assailed by a strange noise seemingly directly atioad ; and casting my cyea in that direction, I saw indistinctly through the gloom a little on the-weather bow,m small mac!, whose of ficer was bawling, without a trumpet, for us to Put our helm up. Hard 4. up ! hard , up . the helm !" shouted 1, as loud as I could scream—but 'twas of no use. The smack, for such she proved to be, was ft: ing before it, and had undertaken to avoid us by putting her helm a-port, and so passin g across our wake—and, as we were showing no light, she had doubtless been deceived in the distance between us, and in regard to' her own velocity, until She Ciund herself close aboard of us. Before the wheel could be hove up, or ,the sleepers had time to awake to a consciousness of their danger, she came head on autratruck us full on our larboard bow. The force of the concussion bore her bows for a moment under 'the water, and threw her stern immediately under the flying jib-boom, from whence - 1 was shaken by the shock, and fell upon•the stranger's deck. As soon as I had,recovered my senses sufficiently to know-where t was, I juinped up and ran forward, but the comparatively smell vessel was fast drifting from the giant ship.• I looked wildly around—and \, was deserted. The occupants of the tiny craft, anti:7 cipating her immediate destruction; had either leaped' overboard, or .had caught' hold of the lead gear of the ship ; and I saw myself borne swiftly aw \ ay, from life, from hope. Seized mitt' the , frantic ago:inks:of despair, I called-4 madly shrieked for help-andthe. AND Weekly by Benjamin Saurian, Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania pitiless waves mocked me in their dashing. Again I harkened ! There was a loud 'splash, as of the! launching of the boat—l strained my eye, and bent my ear in, a torture of suspense ! I caught a human, scream :—yes—l was heard ; 0. God! they were coming to my rescue. My. heartbeat wildly—and! I listened again: all was silent awful—asthe grave., Nay—there was a pouring, a heavy gush of waters, I —fearful heart-rending yells, as of strong men eon- 1 11 tending with death—a crash—and amidst the gloom, of the night, and the uproar of the' surging sea, they black form of the Heaver disappeared ; and the con; cession of the returning waves, as they mingled in their grasp the pride and the foibles of hum, struck! me to the heart with the desolating chilfiress of the! grim monster's smite, I strained my eyeballs to the night till they beheld nothing but fiery lightnings., Then I raved, and foamed like a ,madman—and ea-, ger in anticipating my own fate, would have plun-, ged into the ocean, but sn invisible power arreited, me, and I fell senseless and cold upon the deck. , When reason again assumed the helm which she! had lost," light, the merry light of a glorious morning ! burst *upon my vision , and metl.ought I had passed ; the °Heal pf death—the chaos of the grave—the porH tals of the spirit-norld, itild was floating, triumphant, on the Ocean of Eternity." I lifted my eyes, and, for a moment, longingly gazed upon the burnished scene around me. The glistening barks of life, leap ing on the gentle billows—the mellow sunbeams dancing near and afar upon the breast of the summer sea—and the angel-breathes of the zephyrs that fell i. so pure and refreshing upon, my burning brow, seemed redolent with all for which the longings of mortality had played, but which the powers of ima- Onation had failed to portray. A prey to the strange intensity of a feeling ! had never ktiown before, I pros- sed my hands long and heavily to my eyes, and fell back in a paroxysm of giddy delight: " Anon a dreadful recollection of the scenes of the past night came over me, and then I shuddered. A sense of danger and loneliness stirred up my ener gies; I jumped to my feet, and call'd—my voice i was borne away by the breeze, and no sound return• ed, not even tan echo. I ran beloW, but all was de- Betted there were the tenlintless heaths of the sea men, who had rushed from their slumbers to a sleep, which danger might never arouse; and there was displayed the recent finger of map ; but forms had fled, and souls had passed ; and I, a stranger weep-, ing their doom—wag alone! I immediately recollected that no lime was to be lost, and forthwith proceeded to ascertain the extent of the danger to which I we! , subjected. Strange as it may seem, the smack had sustained but little ap parent injury; she was.nearly new, very strongly built, and, as far 11E41 could ascertain from any pa pers, was returning from a fishing expedition to South America. I sounded her, and ascertained she had made some water, but succeeded in freeing her in a couple of hours. There was , no sail standing, but from the foul appearance of portions of her rig. ging, I concluded that at the tithe she was struck she had been standing under tr square sale, but the sheets and halliards having paried, it was doubtless blown away. The bowsprit wS!broken short offend was floating alongside , but the mast yet stood firm, and the main-ail was snugly furled on the boom, with all its appendages shipshape. As soon as I had finished pumping out the water, I unlashed the yawl boat, and launetting it with little difficulty, bu sied myself in clearing the rigging outboard : I cut the foresail from the splintered bowsprit, 'and liftiog it to the deck, and clearing and securing tho stays, cast the spars adrift. I then pulled once or twice around the craft to ascertain her build and the ex tent of all injuries, and being in a measure satisfied, returned on board; and mooring the yawl astern by means of the painter, bethought me of making sail alas ! 'I knew not within a hundred leagues the precise point in the ocean which I occupied, and was entirely ignorant of the art of navigation. How ever, being averse to remaining motionless on the water in a tight craft, I concluthd to maks, sail and cruise about, if for nothing elsethan merelliart ; and while looking out in search of something in the shape of a spare spar, I was so,..fortunate as to discover, floating on the water, enfold jib-boom, which I recol lected having seen lying loose on the ship's deck the day previous, and which had escaped the gener al wreck. I lost no time in securing it; and with the aid of tools which I found in my vessel, shaped it into a very good looking bowsprit ; and it required but a small effort on the part of my inventive fahilties, to enable me to rig it out in tolerable good shape, and secure: it with strong and permanent lashings.— With much labor and perseverence I succeeded in turning in the stays . and shrouds ; and after bending on the sail, found to•my satisfaction that every thing worked, admirably, and I was not a little proud at the result of my efforts. I could not, however, rest from my labors until' I saw myself sailing in sumo direc. tion, and so immediately made sail, laying bee close on the strarboard tack, and heading in a Northeas terly direction. Although the winds were light, she danced merrily over the waters, with a swiftness and grace that well might have astonished ono like 'my- Self, who had been used only to the comparatively slow and measured heave of the bulky ship. And sad and solitary, as I was—severed from that inter course and sympathy so essential to the enjoyment of Wing, and exposed to dangers with which I .was ill enabled; to combat—let with no ordinary degree of pleasure did I guide my 'bounding bark on its un known destination ; and I gazed on the agile craft that supported me, and upon the restless plain around with a monarch's pride, foi I was atom in my little world, and there was no one to "dispute my right." The day was far advanced ; and the not to be mis taken manifestations of my stomach's impatience in being, neglected, reminded me that I had taken no sustenance ranee the preceding: day—l, therefore, lashed the helm, and commenced ransacking the cab in search of something in the form of prog. I limed some beef end pork which had evidently been boil ed 'the day before, some biscuit, Cold coffee, flour, su gar, and many et ccteras and luxuries which are nev er found in a ship's foiecastle—and deemed myself at the time surpassing fortunate in likewise discos. erhig l two or three bulls and some cases of strong liquoi; and several bottles of old Madeira wine. Al though, I bailed my good luck with rapture, I was disposed on a second thought to view those hitter de siructives with horror, in view of the fatal scenes I had so recently witnessed, and which resulted.froM their interference—but nevertheless indulged myself moderately in taking a draught from one of the bot tles, containing wine, which invigorated my body, and Seemed to render ray stomach the better fitted for the reception of food. - I spread out the eatables, and sat down to my meal, as independent and is gracious as a king to his feast. SATaDAY MORNI6IG; JUNE 26. 1841. 10TrUNII I had barely commenced walking into , the merits of sundry huge pieces of beef and pork,'when 'My at tention was attracted by a loWmetv/ coming from be neath my table, and looking down, espied a large blade and white cat,, wearing an expression of sup plication, as asking, in as polite n manner as she k new bow, fur, a share of my Victuals. I had ever conceived an inveterate hatred for animals of‘the fe line race, but loneliness had awakened.new syMpa dries in my breast ; and, instead of kicking her a say, as, under any other circumstances I should undoubt edly have done, I placed her on the verge of 'the ta ble, and presented her with a plate, on which was a little of every kind that was before me.. 'She appear ed very dainty, however, and partook sparingly—af ter which, without so much as thanking me, , she jumped off' the table, and passed up the companion way for an evening promenade. After finishing my own meal, I examined more minutely every part of the smack, to see what I could find; and as my craft appeared to steer herself very well, I spent the eve ning in walking the deck and playing with my new ly-fouhicompanion. At dark I lowered the foresail and mainsail, arid heaving ha to under a storm tri sail, turned in and slept soundly tilt sunrise -In this way, da: s, weeks passed away and who for a time had revelled and feasted in' my kingly enjoyments—wearied of 'protratted loneliness, and sighed for the companionship of man. Soon after the day of the sad catastrophe, I had . seen one or two sail, but [bete had passed me at a great distance and probably discerned me not ;.and indeed I was hardly sorry to escape their notice, for Mc provisions on board my craft were sullicient to. last mo many weeks, and I concluded that when I grew weary of acting in the capacity of captain, cook, and all hands, it would not be difficult for me, to change my isolated home for a'more' populous one on board of some one of the ships that were naviga ting the ocean. But at length sucl a change was earnestly *billed, and looked for, the seas seem ed deserted, for though I sailed far in every direc tion, I could E 7 ee nothing which sustained the foot of a human being. And at last my longings ri pened into impatience ; and my excited imagination Pictured a thousand dangers, which I had dreamed not of era MY oeedia solitude became irksomemy 'slumbers brought but little repose, for they were fraught with hideohe'dreams, and my wakeful hours were passed in a state of inconceivable wretchedness. Bien my cat had ceased to become a favorite—and when I spurned her nimble playfulness, I envied her the enjoyment of a contentment and a happiness for which I vainly pined'. At length I utterly desPiiiiell of ever meeting with any vessel, and resolved to steel continually in one direction, ebo 'sing the uncertain fate of being dash ed upon some unkno*u slictie, rather than remain ing a hermit on the sea--eien when the necessaries and many of the comforta_ot file were at my dispo sal. And then, in accordance with my wild deter urination, I commenced a voyage whose destination was any portion of the firth earth, and upon whose speedy end I was fully resoltel . I had pointed the smack to lye North's 4 and West'ard, with the hope of falling in with some A merican coaster; and on the second day after the commencement of my ultimate eipedition, - just as the sun was descending b thind the sea, I discovered a speck on the far horizon which reSemlited a distant sail. My heart leaped within me. Hot on rating a second mill clearer view, the black and diiiitict ap pearance of the object formed a strange contrast to the dim outline of a far off vessel ; and I had my dark misgivings in the reflection that it miglit go a useless spar, or a part of some sea-washed wreck, bearing only the worm and barnacle, end drifting - about with the ocean currents.:' ,, Determined, never theless, to ascertain the value of , my prize, if prize it Was, I altered my course, and bore directly fur if: but upon viewing it from masthead as I neared it, I clear ly made it out to be a small long-boat, probably be longing to some brig, from which I= fancied it might have worked adrift tbrough carelessness, or been swept away in some gale. I was about pursuing my own course again, os I could not distinguish any thing like a human being in the boat; hilt as she rose upon a sea, I thought she set deeper in the wa ter than she would have done if perfectly light, and so continued sailing for it. You may imagine the surprise I felt, shipmates— for some of,yeu, who have followed the seas long, may have witnessed a similar occurrence—in discov $ enng, as drew alongside of the boat, the bodies of 'three unfortunate beings stretched apparently lifeless [on the bottom. I immediately secured the misers- I ble craft, and jumped . aboard. They were two mon dressed in seamen's clothes, and a female. I was : horror struck ! and for a moment regretted having seen them—but upon a minute examination I thought I distinguished signs of life in the female. I laid my hand upon her naked breast,—there was a slight warmth; I perceived a faint and barely perceptible movement-and then I knew that she lived ! In the ardor of the aliment I thanked my God for thus ren dering me an instrument of his mercy. took thO frail and emaciated being in my arms, and conveyed 'herbs my own cabin, and laid her in my berth. Up ,on examining the others,. I found they were cold and sat& and having vainly searched their persons in an I l endeavor to ascertain who they were, or front whence 'they came, I confined their limbs'in a careful man ner, and attached to [ their, feet some heavy weights, (consigned them to an ocean grave. I. had previously moistened the throat of my fair !charge with a little wine .and water, and after was. ling her to srallow a small quantity of the pulp from 'biscuit soaked in warm tea, animation,waa partially restored, and She opened her eyes. Never shall I forget the expression of that countenance t She was young—being, as I judged, about twenty-three yens of age,. and her features, though now "gbasity.and thin were formed in the most perfect. beauty—and i her dim and watery eyes, as they slowly became Sx ed upon her dclivtrer, inspired my ; soul with. holier ( views of the great end and purpose of being ;. and Alen with her wasted band clasped between mine lown, I knelt beside her, and fervently prayed for her .mplete restoration.
