A Night of Horror.
I have pnsued through many a try
ing scene in my life, scenes wherein
danger lurked and death smiled grim
ly. On watet and on land I have
stood, as it were, faco to face with ttiat
dread of the human race. On the
mighty ocean, when our fair bark was
tossed as if it were a feather, 1 could
gazo upon the surging billows with
awe, aye, with veneration for there
amid the roaring of the tempest, the
lashing of the waves, I saw tho power
and might of the Deity.
Death amid the storm and tempest,
tho flashing of lightning and the roar
ing of the thunder, had no dread for
me. To die thus, amid the war of ele
ments, woulj be a glorious triumph
over slow death !
Why should I write this pketch ?
Why describe a night of horror, the re
membrance of which, although many
years have passed away, makea me
shudder still ? Is it because it lives in
memory, like some horrid specter. It
may, however, tend to withdraw the
mind from that ono fearful episode in
my life, which, like a dark shadow,
keeps out all sunshine. To test this
theory, I send you this sketch, for the
memory of that night of horor.
Like a drop that night and day
Falls cold and ceaseless, wears my heart
away.
The State-House clock had struck
eight when the clerks left, the office. I
remained alone, as I hai some impor
tant business to transact, with which
tho clerks had nothing to do. I locked
the front of the office, and for one'
hour I was busily employed at my
work. In tine corner of the counting
house stood my mammoth safe a huge
afTair. I prided myself on being the
owner of tho fixture. I could staud
upright in it and arrange mV books
and papers without stooping. It was
like a small house or an iron tomb,
just as fancy might determine. Near
the safe stood an old-fashioned, ricke
ty book-case ; a largo, ponderous piece
of furniture. The safe door, when
opened, came within a few inches of
it.
It is necessary to mention this book
case, for, had it not been there, the
adventure I am about to relate would
never have been written.
I was inside the safe, putting in its
place the last book, when there came
upou ray ear tho cry of "fire !" follow
ed by the rush of the engines down the
street. I listened for a minute, and
was in the act of leaving the safe,
when oh, horror I there came a
crash ! The book-case had fallen
against the door of the safe, and its
spring was caught in tho intricate
working of the huge lock !
I was thus inclosed in a living tomb,
and as the dread saund echoed through
the safe I knew it was the knell of my
death. For a moment I stood utterly
confounded, and when the tru9 state
of my situation was realized no tongue
can describe nor pen portray the rem
otest idea of my feelings. Entombed,
incasd in an iron coffin all sound
dead ! The shout I sent forth, as if it
could be ever heard, came back in re
verberating echoes. Then again all
was still still as death, for rny voice
was hushed ! The few moments that
had passed sinco my incarceration
seemed as so many years. How would
I die? Raving mad, perhaps, or by
immediate suffocation. Already I felt
the presence of the condensed air act
ing on my brain already I felt the
blood rushing in tumultuous waves to
my head ! To die thus, struggling for
life in an iron vault was awful.
I calculated the hours, the minutes,
and seconds before the time of opening
the office, and then then the key of
the safe great Heavens! it was in
my pocket, and there , was no dupli
cate. Hours and hours must pass away
before the safe could be opened. Open
ed by whom? The man who made it!
I had no partner in the business ; ray
clerks would not suspect that anything
had occurred, and they would not at
tempt the opening of the safe until
they had heard from uie. How in
Heaven's name could that bo ? Never,
never would they hear the sound of
ray voice again ! I was there death's
prisoner in an iron vault ; they knew
it not, nor even imagined such a hor
rible contingency could be attached
to my absence. Even if it were so
even when the safe was opened, how
would I appear to them? A lifeless
corpse, or a raviag maniac.
I did not shudder nor groan. All
corporeal sensation was lost in that of
the brain. I felt that death iu some
horrible shape was gathering iU t-hroud
around me. In tuy excited state I im
agined that all was over with me. How
should I meet death? Dash my brains
out against the iron-sided prison? No,
no; Dot while reuson remained. If I
wore to lie down with my face pressed
to the floor, and remain there quietly,
shut my eyes and keep out the oppres
sive darkness, might I not sleep? I
threw myself full length on the floor,
JUNK 20, 1877.
for, ns I have already said, tho safe
was a large on, in tho hope sleep or
suffocation would end my mental suf
fering. The density of the atmos
phere musUnaturally produco the lat
ter result. No, no ; hert was no at
mopphere, for that was invisible, elas
tic fluid which surrounds tho earth,
and presses by its weight the assem
blage of aeriform vapors. Here was
no air no vapor no motion no
sound atmosphere to produco cith
er of these active agents of the uni
verse. No ! Death was far away, yet
I felt as if the very silence wa9 kill
ing me. Tho buzzing of a fly, the hum
of a bee, or t he sound of that mysteri
ous insect whose peculiar imitation of
a time-piece gives it the name of the
"dead-watch," even that superstitious
pleasure was denied me.
There came a change, sudden as it
was alarming. The brain began to
throb. The heart beat in unison. I
felt its deep pulsation ; I heard its
deep, heavy thud against my breast.
This I say I heard, for it was part of
myself. No other sound outside of
my own person could have reached me
there. I felt a pain in my head and
brain ; not au ordinary pang, but one
that struck at the base of reason.
Death was coming ! Welcome ! And I
laughed the wild, unmeaning laugh of
the maniac. And yet 1 was not mad ;
but so near it that had not reason told
me it was approaching apoplexy, I
would have been raving . Welcome
apoplexy ! It, however, came not. I
rolled over and over in limited
cell ; I screamed ; I yelled aud shout
ed for help, and yet all the while I
was perfectly conscious of what I was
doing. Death svao pluyiag with me !
I prayed, too, but did not curse. No,
no ; for if I am to die thus I reason
ed let mo die in. peace with God.
These thoughts, the result of my early
religious education, kept my soul in
tact with Him who had the best right
to it.
I endeavored to be calm, strove to
reason myself into patience, and wait
tho coming day. Day ! alas 1 what to
me was day? For here all was night.
But reason failed. It had no r.rgu
raent to confute facts. Death was
here and I had to meet it. But how ?
Alas 1 alas 1 that mystery was yet to
be solved. All was so still so silent
that my faculties were benumbed. I
remember wondering if tho voice of
the Dity citild be heaPft in that
dreadful place. Was this blasphemy I
Perhaps it was ; but I was not then
accountable for either my words or ac
tions. I was, for the moment, mad !
I took off my coat and made a pil
low of it. Sleep! Oh! if I could only
sleep, and, in forgetfuliipss, escapo the
horrors of my waking ninmeuts Sleep
was impossible. There was a constant
buzzing in my ears, acute pains in my
head a vertigo that drove mo again
to my feet, and I reeled round the lim
ited f.pace in a whirligig for life. I
struck my head against tho side of the
safe. I folt no pain, for there was
madness in my nets, with just suffi
cient reason to add to the horrors of
my situatiou. What could I do now
but rave and yell, calling for hslp, well
knowing there was no help at hand !
Why did my senses reniaiu to torture
me thus? Why not go mad and com
mit some fearful act to end my mis
ery? Because I was in the hands of
one who had issued his cannon against
self-slaughter. I trust to him. I start
ed to my feet. My head Btruck the top
of the safe, and I was dashed back
again to the floor. Again I shouted,
again I laid flat on my fuse and call
ed on death to come and end my woes.
The shout was echoed in low, rum
bliugouuds, then uied away, leaving
the silenco tenfold greater. Like the
darkness preceding some great shock
of nature, its inteuseness could be felt.
I felt it felt it in my heart felt it
on my brain it was presting mo to
death.
Had I nothing else to think of but
myself? Reader, I have given my own
mental aud physical Bufferings while
entombed. I was not solflsh even ; I
analyzed my own feelings, and seem
ingly forgot others outside of the
tomb. What, describe other sensa
tions sensations that sprung from
pictures I could not bring my mind to
contemplate? Pictures of home ef
wife add children friends all these
seemed, in my state, as ouly adding to
my misery, for I was doomed, and the
were for the time being happy. I kept
those pictures back.
I even magnilied my suffering so
that memory might bo silent. I could
not contemplate in my excitement two
distinct events. I therefore settled all
my thoughts, fixed all my energies on
one object self-preservatiou. I would
strive to live live for those who wer
even now woudoring why I was not
with them. Header, I strove as hard
to forget wife aud children and friends
as I did to master my dread of the
horrible death awaiting me. Under
staad me. No oue placed as I was,
could think of the past, present or fu
turo with uuy decree of calmness. The
$2 PER ANNUM.
reasoning faculties succumbed to phy
sical excitement ; they became antag
onistic, aud, although I endeavored to'
separate the two, I became more con
fused. I could think of nothing but
my position. Beyond that, if I attempt
ed to go, I foresaw madness. Ho, to
avoid all that, I centered all my
thoughts on ono purpose self-preservation.
To accomplish this, I could
not, even in thought, go beyond my
prison-house. Why proceed why ev
eu attempt to describe the sufferings I
underwent? I raved, I screeched, I fell
on the floor, rose again, reeled in mad
dening fury around my living tomb.
I even meditated self-destruction. I
argued the point with death. I quot
ed authorities to prove that suicide
was justifiable in som cases, and mine
was a case in point. My mind, weak
ened as it was, hesitated to grasp .at
this mode of ending life, and there
came un at that moment, a small,
child-like voice, sayiDg: "Hope hope
on !" Was it a voice, or was it mere
ly imagination conjuring up my
sounds to Bootheme? "Hope !" I start
ed ! a new light seemed to enter my
8oulv.nnd, illuminate the -Cimmerian
darkness surrounding me. Tho reac
tion caused by the strange phenomena
was too much lor my strength. I lost
all consciousness, and fell as if dead.
How long I lay thus I had no
knowledge :when I came to mvsdf it
was to hear a dull sound as if some ono
was striking the safe. Was help at
hand ? Then came a gratinc sound
then a shock then came a louder
sound, as if from the explosion r.f gun
powder ft flash, as of lie-htenino'. It
, o r
came into the safe and for an instant
the whole space was illuminated. What
could it mean ? Was it a dream ? No!
no ! reality ! The safe-door was
thrown open, aud as I rolled out on
the floor of the counting-house I again
became unconicious.
When I came to my Benses I was
surrounded by four fierce-lookinz men
one was bathing ray head, while an
other was. holding me iq his arms
What could it mean? I was saved, but
new and by whom ?
They were burglars who came for
the purpose of plunder. They told me
so ; and instead of money they found
what they took to be a corpse. They
stood apart whispered seemed to
hesitate how to act. The safe was
opened ; the owner was there at their
mercy. Weak as I was, I at once dis
covered the cause of their hesitation.
"You came," I 6aid, "to rob me, in
stead of which you saved my life.. The
amount of money which you would
bave obtained is no inconsiderable
sum-; it is there there in that second
diawer from tho right. Take it di
vide it between you t solves, and with
it take my thanks. You see I am very
weak the excitement caused by. my
incarceration."
One of the men approached me and
said: "We are robbers; we are in
your power, but we are not murderers.
We came for money, but "
I interrupted him.
"No hesitation, air ; it is yours my
free gift take it."
He then joined his companions, con
sulted awhile, then came to mo and
said :
"Suppose, sir, that we were detect
ed ? Our entrance may have been ob
seived the mouey found upon us
the condition of this safe thus, you
seo, upon such evidence wo would be
convicted at once."
"Will you place that chair before
the table and help me to it? I am
completely unnerved. Seven hours in
that safe nearly killed me."
The chair was placed as ordered
the man who had spoken assisted me
to it. I took paper and pen, and while
those four stalwart, desperate men gaz
ed upon me, I wrote the following :
For valuable services, I pay these
four men (for the soul of me I could
not write gentlemen) the sum of SI,
f)00. They rescued me from a most
hoi rible death, for which, iu addition
to this sum, they have my most heart
felt thanks.
Signed
"Take that paper, sir. and if any
thing should occur, come to me."
Thus was I saved, but it was mauy
weeks before I recovered from the ef
fects of that night of horror. Hart
ford Time.

. "What," asks an exchange, "are
the causes of duukeuness?" Well,
we can't answer for all of ttiem, but
we believe whiskey causes a great deal
of it; whiskey sir, resolutely stuck to

anything we know of, although a judi

Crossing ifio Danube.
The Russians are rather slow about
it, but armies have crossed the Dnubo
in the past aud doubtless the passage
can be made again. Napoleou's pas
sage of tho river in the face of tho
Austrians before the battle of Wagrom
is thus described ty a military writer
in the London Telegraph : "He had
prepared on the island of Lobau- a
number of flat-bottomed craft and the
materials for floating bridges, in canah;
which he had cut into the main stream,
keeping tho boats concealed by trees
and brushwood from the enemy's view.
Making a feint at another point, he
sent, at 9 o'clock in the evening, two
battalions of infantry across, who at
once became engaged with the Austria
an outposts, but held their ground till
tho floating bridges were constructed
over the river, there 150 yard wide,
when a corps passed over and seized
the nearest village. By 11 o'clock
several bridges were constructed, an
other corps was slready crossing, and
before daylight 70,000 mon had effect--!
their passage. The night was verv
tjw k, and tltere were torrents of rain."
The Russians certainly havohad many
a dark night and torrents upon tor
rents of ruin, of which they might
have taken advantage. The passago
of the Danube in 1828 was a bold and
brilliant undertaking. The Turks had
diviucd the Russian intentions from
the preparations being made, and had
intrenched themselves opposite to
Satuuovo, the selected poiDt of cross
ing. To reach tho river bank here
the Russians had to make a causeway
no les3 than 7,000 paces in length,
3,000 of which had to be carried on
wroden bridges, and the troops wtro
under fire from the Turks while at
work. The Russians had a flotilla on
the Danube, and when their causeway
was complete a detachraeut of light
infantry nd Cossacks was sent across
the river in boats and landed below
the Turkish intrenchmcnts, concealed
by a wood. Tho Turks did not dis
cover their presence, and the Russians
rushed upon the rear of the nearest
iutrenchment, taking it by storm.
Then the Turks, more than 10,000
Strang, were seized with panic and
fled, and the position was abandoned.
Wrecked and Butchered.
A survivor of vhe wreck of tho
steamship George S. Wright has been
discovered at last in the person of an
Indian named Coma. lie was recog
nized on the street at Nauairuo, Brit
ish Columbia, last Friday, and was
arrested and brought to Victoria,
Vancouver's Island. Tho Colonid
says: Since the disaster Coma has
constantly evaded the police, und un
til quite recently it was not known
that there existed a single survivor of
the wreck. Coma lias confessed to
the superintendent of police, after be
ing duly cautioned, that at night the
boilers of the Bteamship exploded,
and" she begu to sink at once. Cup
tain Ainsley, with four United States
offices and a passenger, got into a boat
aud told Coma, who was on deck, to
get in too. The rest of the people
were in bed, or tried to escapo by
means of another boat. The captain a
party, seven in all, pulled ashore near
Cape Caution. They were nearly
naked, and the Iudiaus gave them
blankets to keep them warm. A day
or two afterwards three canoe loads of
Indians came to tho spot and Captain
Ainsley offered Che loader $500 to con
vey the shipwrecked men to Fort Ru
pert. Four of tho Indians were nrm
ed with muskets, with which they kill
ed all the whites. They then tied
stones to their bodies and sunk them
iu deep water. They robbed the
bodies of all valuables, including the
captain's gold watch and chain. They
spared Coma, but told him that if he
ever dared to narrate the circumstances
they would kill bis father. Coma
thinks all the .people on board who
were iu bed at the time of tho explo
sion were drowned, as the ship went
down rapidly. The prisoner was con
fronted with four Iudians who wci;
brought jn as prisoners by the steam
er Rocket and have since been in jail
here, and identified two of them as be
longing to the party of murderers.
