"Who would not brave the bailie fire the wreck To move the monarch of In r penple'd deck." THE BRITISH tlUEEN A SCKNE ON HOARD. It was in the month of November, 1810. The British Queen, one of the largest and strongest steam ships, had been laboring for some days against storms and heavy seas. The waves had been rolling mountains high; the cross seas were breaking on her bows, and the high wind was dead ahead, and every minute the vessel "shipped a sea," pouring tons of water even to the quar ter deck. All that skill and activity could effect upon the part of our gencr ous commander, joined to the tremen dous power of our mighty steam en gines, could scarcely succeed in preser ving our course. The torrents of rain that were thrown down from the low er ing sky upon our decks, added to the melancholy gloom of our prospects. Flushed with the hope of a short pas sage, we had left the English shores a few days before, amid shouts of joy and with confident anticipations 5 how chan ged the scene which a succession of storms, head winds, and high seas had brought with them. The anxious looks of the passengers, as the noble vessel rode upon the mountain waves and pitched forward, w ith a tremendous jar, as if for the last time; or as the foam ing water broke upon her prow, threa tening to tear asunder every timber in the ship, were living evidences that it wasalrying time with all who had trusted themselves on the "great deep." Our commander bad been pacing with hurried steps the poop deck for three days successively, (interrupted only by the occasional hour's sleep which na ture required,) applying ever and anon the glass to Ins watchful eye, and look in? from time to time at the still cloudv horizon. It was about noon of the fourth day of storm and head winds, that one j . 1 .a 01 the more seaworthy passengers thought he descried at a distance a ves scl under "bare poles. 1 he captain s "lass added to the information that she lad a portion of a sail tied to the sail as "signal of distress. I his news spread among the passengers, and the tidings that a wreck was to he seen at some miles to the windward, were spee dily conveyed lo the state rooms. In a few minutes all who could summon up strength sufficient were on the upper deck, straining their vision to make out the character of the vessel, and to de termine whether any living being was on board the unfortunate wreck. Few remained below the intense interest excited on board drove awavsea sick ness, and engrossed every other feeling; the upper deck was crowded. As we moved on, the commander thought he perceived somebody on board waving, and judging from the appearance of the head dress, through his telescope, he concluded that this being was a female, and the only living creature on board. For a moment he deliberated w ith him self whether it would be prudent in deed, whether it would be safe, with the sea running at that time and a strong wind blowing from the quarter in which the wreck lay, to risk the lives of halt a dozen of the best sailors, and soma of the ship's officers in so dangerous an cnterprize, as the doubtful experiment of rescuing a single individual. He who has never been at sea, can have but little conception of the feelings elicited by the appearance of a sail in sight, af- sln'pwrecked mariner, by the last exer-1 sels had passed very near to them on I '1 tion of his remaining strength, still ho- the day previous, during the height of li ping, mane an cnori 10 wave nis signal the storm that they had 111 vain made of distress, and prudence, nay humanity, their signals of distress, which had been forces him to hesitate whether he ought unheeded either from incapacity or an to risk so fearfully the valuable Jives unwillingness to risk nnv thinir for their of seven men for the doubtful prcserva- assistance.
