tho said James M. Frazer further says that Capfc.

wore on deck during deponent's Yfafah; that tho
ship was ouablod to ( koop her eouree for about
a half or throo-QUi}rtors, of nn hour after one

deponent immcdiatoiy obeyed, auu: found that the
100 pumps worked well anu discharged water
abundantly, but tho weathor pumps diu not work,
there m>t being water enough m the abip to supply
thorn. Tho voesol then, had a .heavy llet to the
starboard, and lod further ofl* into tho trough of
tho soa. Tho whools of tho ship woro tbon turning
slcwly. At this timo buckets woro boiug passed
into tho engine room; but as this work was not
under doponont’s charge, ho devoted bis entire at
tention to,his duties on dock.
At about two o’clock P. M., it having 1 tbon been
found impossible to got tbo ship’s head to tho sea,
tho forestaysail wassotwithtbo objoctof gettinf
the ship off before the wind, and tho oanvas wad st
thosnmo time taken from tho main and misim
rigging, but immodiatolv on bofng sot'thO stayMU
was blown to pieces, Thoro was still a very hmvy
soa, and the gale continued unabated. An attempt
was then inado to hoist tbo foroyard with tbeelows
of tho foresail lashed to tho oyobolts in th» deck,
in order to got'tho ship before the wind, hot before
the yard had boen raised throe feet from Ihe dcck
tho sail blow iuto fragments. Tho jib war then cut
from tho. forotopujast stay to set os a forostaysail,
bat before it wna bent on tho forestay jrdors'were
'ivcotogot adrag over, to try and get the ship’s
' lead ter the eoa. - Tbo drag, consisting-.of the
foroyard, with a heavy kedgeanchor,; was then got
over, with a nine-ipch hawser bent to the middle
of the yard. A largor anchor would have been
used but for the roason' the ship iris listed
over on her beam otulsi that we cbuld not get
the yard to tho bow wlioro those anchors wore hong,;
to make it fast to ono of them, YV© vcored out on
that hawser somo forty or fifty fathoms. Then
ordorsworoglvon by tho captain, to cut Away tho
fordmaat, which was done - ; and after thatVe paid'
out ninety to a hundred fathoms on the .’Kaweor,
which wasmodo fast round tho stump of tbe fore
mast, andlcd out of the forward cathead During
this period we woro awaro that the after pump was
working/ Tho forward pump was not working, aa
tho forejratdi ’from its poeiuon,-lying across the
rail, provonted the working of it. . As to tho work
Ooq time bolow deok or aft, our atten-'
oing entirely engrossed with bur duties on tho
forward deck, wo know nothing of it. As soon ns the
yard wo3 got over na a drag, the forward pump
was started and worked.' Tne drag: had no effect’
in bringing tho ship’s head up, and that was
the. lost .effort toward that, objoot ‘which it
was in our power to make. After that wo re
mained for flcvoral’ hours at tho forward pumps,
which vrero wbrked steadily;' tho 100 pump hoyo
water all night; tho:woather pump bovo water up
.to.about midnight, when tho ohamber burst. Tbo
deponent, John Black, deposes that ho remained
at the forwnrd pump until about six o’olockA. M;
Tho deponont, James M. Frazer, deposes that be
remained at them until about.ten ,or cloven o’clock
P. M., whim' lib Went down inW tho aflor oabin
and helped tho persons who were thorb engaged in
bailing. After having spent Borne time iji aiding
and encouraging the bailer*, tho doponent, James
M. Frazer, visilcdfAhuofit; all parts of. tbo shin,
lending.assistance. wherpvor ho could bo useful;
and .in doing sb ho saiv lhat the pumps wero worked
vigorously forb and Aft, ; and the bailingwoagoing
on with tho greatost activity all over the ship.
These exertions continued steadily all night. On
Saturday morning, the 12th inst\ about daylight,
this deponont, James Mi Frazer,'having hoard one
one of tho possongers oxpress tho idea that the.
pump* were not heaving water, Jookod down tho
gtdo to ascertain iho fact. The ship was so llatod
overthatho.cyuld not seo the discharge pipeof the
after pump, nor was he certain how tbe fact was
witli rcspoct to it, but on going fbrward he ascer
tained 'difltihotly that ' the looWttd pump’forward
was heaving water. The weathor pump forward
had thon tho ohamber bnrsted just below the dis-.
chnrgopipo.
About M o'doek in tho morning, this deponent,.
John Rlack, wa3 orderod aft to ng tackles to tho
mfzzen stay, for tho purposo’of using whips to heart)
out tho water by tubs, which ho did, and thoreaf-.
tor remained there, attending to tho bailing out by
tubs and whlps untll fio was oallod away at about
2! o’clock, P. M., to attend to carrying passongors'
off in tho boat to tho brig Marino. We had throo
whips rigged, oaoh ovor .one of the aft hotohways,
and with each whip wo used n beef or pork barrel
to heavo water over.
At about tho timo tho said John Bfdqk was or-,
dored aft as aforesaid, viz., at about 6i P. M., th’s
deponent, James M. Frazer, went forward, and
having oxamined tbo forward pumps ns aforesaid,
aawod off tho ehuiu. whioh yi-as shackled to tho

two whips between decks, to hoigt wator as high ns
;tljo uppor stoorago, nnd thon discharge it through
the fcouppera of that dock. At this timo the freight
room was aboutone-half or two-thirdsfullof water,
in tho judgmont of thogo deponents. Shortly, af.
tohrerd this denonont; James U. Frazer, observed
that whips had Deon rigged in tho ohginOirpom,
and thatmen wero thoro at workheavingoutwator

down almost to the lust moment,' with theso appli

water submerged them entirely. This was about'

Tho machinery being thus < rendered entirely

from that time all efforts were directed to keep-;

their own impressions. Their experience and,ob
servation, we think, should have taught them the
fallibility of hnman judgment as in all moral ques

scopo for the play of adverse, though equally sin

ficulty and embarrassment. Tho reply of the Pre

Attempt to Shoot his 'Wife—Shocking Case of
Self-Destruction.
• CoronerPannenter,6f Newburgh,held an inquest
oa Thursday lust, upon the body of Ezra Under
hill, who committed suicide the night previous by
shooting himself with a pistol: It appears that
deceased aadihia wife separated on the 29th of
April last, previous to which time they had lived
very unhappily together, the principal cause being
jealousy on ..his part. Sineo the separation hits.
Underhill and her two children have lived with
tbs father of tho deceased, and in Newburgh.
The deceased obtained from Conrad in
Cofdcn street, the loan of a double-barrelled pistol,
which Mr. D. loaded for him, and learning that
his wife waaatthe house of a Mrs. Coon, proceeded
to the residence of.that lady, and after considera
ble dlficuUy obtained entrance into the house. Be
presented the pistol at his wife, .which luckily
missed fire.? lie was then thrust out of doore. In
about ten ‘minutes after his.ejeotion the report of a
p\stf)l,waa heard. - It is not supposed that he at
tempted to'destroy himself, but that he was lark
ing'near tho house waiting for his wife to come out,
intending to shoot her. Under this impression, Mm.
Goon and Underhill cautiously left .the house in
quest of aid, which was procured, and the unfortu
nate' man was found dead at the back door of the
residence of bis wife, having shot himself through
tho head.
The Converted Actor in Elmira*
; . One of the most thrilling, experiences that we
; ‘evcr heard was rotated by Sr. Strickland, the ex
actor, in’the'BapUst Church last Sabbath evening.
The Incidents, the language, and the elocution held
tho largo audience in the most rapt attention for
©TftranhtroT. ( Mr. and Mrs. Strickland—thDWVll
known ‘‘Fanny Strick!aod ; ’—after having played
&ucoe£fttl)y in London and Other European cities,
came to this land. They were fulfilling a profes
sional«bgngeraoht in Louisville, Ky., when the holy
spirited' arrested hhn in his career of sin, and
turned his feet into the paths of holiness.. At the
altar of a Saviour’s, lovo he cheerfully sacrificed
professional honor and the prospects of amassing
wealth; and consecrated himselfto the humble yet
rub!ini« work, of preaching the Gospel to hi* fellow
men. His story is oho of the most fascinating wo
ever heard. Tho description of the actor’s death,
in .an old ivy -covered church where he had been
sketching .a.scene for the theatre—that of the
tragedian’s expiring throes and bitter regrets, as
he was removed from the stage—and the hour and
circumstances of his own conversion—trero exceed
ingly life-like sketches. He swayed tho congrega
tion as : with a magio wand—uow creating the
pleasant smile. and anon drawing forth tsars of
sympathy. —Elmira Advertiser.
