PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE!
On Saturday lall arrived here from
ar Island, (Nova Scotia,) in a small
boat of only 10 feet 2 inches keel, three
little boys, ions of Mr. Bailey, of that
place Stephen the eldelt, in his tenth
year, and Charles, and John, the young
er ones, in their eighth and lixtli years.
On Sunday morning these children,
with a negio man, endeavoring to cross
f.om Briar Island, to pick Raspberries,
were forced out to sea by the strength
of the tide and a ftrolig ioutherly wind,
and a thick fog setting in at the fame
time, they were soon bewildered, aud
every hope of teturn cut off. Fortu
nately for them, the negro had a small
pocket compai's, by which he ascertain
ed the diiettion of the wind, and bold
ly determined to put before it—he ac
cordingly failed due north duting the
remainder oi the day without ahy otlui
accident than that of now and then
/hipping a little water, but no great
quantities, considering how high the
sea ran—As it grew dark, he steered
by the wind (which providentially con
tinued to blow from the f.me point) all
night. In the morning the fog clear
ing, he descried land at a great distance
to leeward, and having only a small fail
