From the Kniek erbock THE SHIPWRECK "ALL CI , NRICII I SAW, AND PART Cl WHICH I WAS." ‘l3reakers ahead l—breakers ahead! All hands on deck!' These startling words, tittered in a loud, shrill voice ; accompani ed by violent stainfimg overhead, row:eit 'inc from from a delightful slumber, as 1 lay in the berth of a noble coaster on a bleak December night. It was but a kw weeks after the 'melancholy wreck of the lionie, whose timbers, peering above the waters, we had seen aid passed but a few Clays before. With the velocity of thought, I sprang from my berth, and inade for the cont. panion way; but a getting up stags:' l was twice violently prostrated, before I succeded in the attempt.. The cap!ain, who was alAi .leeping when the slain was given, reached the deck just before me. On the list appearance of danger, an attempt had been matte to put the vas ,' sel about, win n there was but two men on deck; and she was now rolihig and strug gling in the trough of the sea,• while the utmost conf u sion pia:vatted among the I crew. The roar of thetcmpest,;hebltck tress of the night., the ram sweeping and hurling bye, with the thunder-voice nI the 1 breakers, that seemed entirely to surronffil !its,gave a terrilre character to the scene, which I can never forget. I had scarcely glanced at our situation, hen the vessel, raised by a treincuil,ius sea, was pitched forward upon the bottom. !leavens: how the 'many waters' swept over her: For a moment, not a Word was uttered by the crew, who were hying hold of the nearest objects, as a temporary security against being born overboard. Drenched from head to foot by the chill , ing flood, I retreated further into the cabin. Every timber of the vessel groaned midi -1,4; she trembled like a huge leviathan, in the agonies of death. As she rose upon, the sucettling wave, she seemed to recov er, from the shock of the first breaker., lite crew, inspired with courage by the apparent effort which she made to escape destruction, resumed their mule: Yours to put her about. She 'wore round beauti fully,' and we began to flatter ourselves we had escaped. With this hope swelling his bosom, one, of the crew sang out, in eaulling tones,' c are op —we are off!' But before the words died upon his lips, the delusion had vanished. We were in a field of breakers!, Orders were given to take in the few sails' that were flying; but the united strength of a crew of .nine inert failed to accomplish the object, The nest command was, to "throw overboard the deck load, navel stores and cotton. A lew barrels were, .;gat into the sea; but the. attendant dart-1 ger was so great, tint% the captain soon I ordered the crew to desist. While these operations were going for ward, I still occupied my 'dice on the steps of the companion war, with my eye fixed upon a spar near at 'hand; for I ro. collecte,l that :oine one who escaped the %%reel: of the flume, had floated to shore "ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY."

At leugth we all sought refuge io the cabin; which—thanks to copper bolts, live oak, and faithful fxorktuen- -had admitted but little water. Drawing over the sliding cover of the cabil i k 1 a3sage-way, we were to a comparatively comfortable situation. A light wit soon• obtained, by means of a -flint and steel, when 1 had an onortunity of observing the countenance of the crew. The cap , tain has ing great confidence in the strength I his vessei, was more collected than the nisi; lilt his faith was greatly diminished urhentiver a quick succession of heavy seas ~round the vessel with ouch force upon the bottom, that it seemed impossible for any maferiiils, unit. d by human means, long to hold together. terror of most' of the crew could not be concealed, as they stood shivering and dripping with cold and wet. clinging to a birth or pillar, to keep themselves upwright, amidst the falling st,veS, tables, chairs, trunks, bar rels, etc. 1 confess, I was not a little sur prised at the change which had come ever these men in so abort a time. I had fan. deft that persons inured to danger, by con tinued exposure to it, were entirely free mu tear, nut th se hardy sailors, t.y the soli duel tare of their voices, haff.choaked utterance, itmi lanimentations over their helpless condition, showed that a near prospect of death was to them any thing out a matter of indifference. Caked in our narrow cabins, exposed to Al Coe %.olence of the breakers, during, a prot racted storm, and entirely ignorant of our where-about; our situation mity be easily conceived. The reef of breakers upon which we were rocking and grinding was truely terra incognita- Perchance it was one of those feat fat shoals that make far out to sea, whence there is no hope to escape. Ever antl action some of the crew would ventureupon deck, and strain their eyes in the vain endeavour to pierce the darkne,F. Their reports varied, as hope or held the supremacy.

A noth. could see no sign of land; we were far at sea; and with the thought that he should never avant see his distant home, he threw himself into a 1.)1., exclaiinin2; in the bit terness of his soul, that he would die tnere! The most philosophical of the crew. was the cook, a long, funk, liming negro, nam ed Nuby, who sat demorel in a corner, patiently awaiting the course of events. When asked it he was not alarmed, he re . plied: 'Me ben wreck before, cap'n; twice in de West lades; but 't wan hall so bad as dis bout!' When confined to a bed of sickness, I have often thought the night-hours moved slowly; that the hand of the great time• peire must have been reversed, for some inscrutable purpose, and that the blessed light of day would never again break upon my vision. But DOW penned up in a narrow enclosure; protected from the sea only by a few p'anks, that threatened eve ry moment to seperate; surrounded by 'night, and, storm, and darkness;' the tno• ments ',waned slouly' indeed. The cap tain assured us we could not be far from land, and at day break we must receive assistance from the beach. With this hope we looked eagerly forward to the firstgray lice b 1 morning. At last the hour for day arrived but it brought small inr.rease of The water meanwhile had been gaining upon us very fast, and we were soon compelled to retreat to the deck. We all huddled together near the wind lass as the safest place we could find. A few hundred yards under our 'lea, stretch ed a line, aesembling.a dark thread, drawn out upon water. this was land! NVe looked toward it with lenging eyes, in the hope of discovcrin; tams ef ags:stance. Meantime the storm raged on. The sett still broke over the vessel) with unditmn ished three; but as it struck 'aft,' its power Was 'well nigh spent before it reached us.. So soon as there was sufficient light to en able us to see what are were about, the crew turned to the boat that hung over the taffrail. It was in tire worst possible situ ation .for us, as the waves broke directly over the spot where it was suspended. NVltile we were yet eyeing it wistfully, it Was dashed to pieces, where it hung, by the force of the sea, and its fragments floated by us. toward the beach. _No signs of aid appearing, we began to consider the expediency of going ashore on a bale of cotton. To test the safety of the convey ance, we tirrew overboard a bale, which floated oft' like a cork; but, instead of go ing toward the beach, it was born e by the current, at the rate of eight or ten knots an hour, in a parallel litre with the laud! As the breakers struck it endwise, it would turn over and over like a whirli, gig,and sometimes rise convulsively suite out of the water. It was presently driven on the beach at the distance of a quarter of a mile. We deemed it best to wait a little longer before attempting to reach terra firma by a similar process. 'There they are! there they are!' exult ingly shouted ti .• of the crete. Ali eyes were dire; t , d toward the land, A few black spots appeared moveing alone; the beach.

We infers', I, however, that they were willing to asuist us. A long rope Was fastened ton spar, which was east over board, in the hope that it would drift a shore; but it floated oil' the entire length of the line, wiCiout nearing the land. It was drawn back, and a bale of cotton substitu• led in its place, which was in like manner born onward be the- current that swept along the beach, Sometimes it seemed raphily approaching the shore; but UA the scares swept back to the the 'under.. sow' carried the bale with it. Vt'e drew tt in several times, and g:.ve it a 11CW start, by throwing it more advantageously.

'l' he men whose approach had given us so much delight, were no longer to be seen upon the beach; and the bale of cotton was floating at the end of the line , as far from the shore as ourselves. It was now nigh noon. My feet and linnets were benumbed with cold. There was no !hirer prospect of getting ashore than at day break. The air began to sitar pen; and if remained in our present posi lion all day and night, we should inevita bly freeze to death, - if we chanced to be so fortunate as to escape drowning. 'there lay the land, only a hundred or two yards off; but between us and the de- Sired haven, there was a great - gulf lixed.' and gzong ashore!' exclaimed a young it sailor, whose manly daring inter pidity had won my admiration on more than oue occasion before. Scarcely were the words out of his moot, ere he fastened a rope to the extreme of the flying-jib-boon and swung MY into the sea. /latching the moment, he jumped into the water at. ter a wave had retired, and the first that overtoo4 him drove him nearer to the land. lie all bent over the bow and watched his t ,-;;lrLe with intense anxiety. Ott the sut cess or final eof Pri4rtali:r.g, our own safety mainly depended. At times he would sink from our view, but his head was soon again visable above the billows. He took with him neither rope nor plank, preferring the unrestrained freedom of his limbs, to the aid which they might have afforded. lie web succesifull. In a short time, we saw him throwing out his arms with joy, and shaking himself on the beach. stimulated by the result of this experi ment the mate immediately followed his example, and reached the shore in safety. Feeling, for my part, no disinclination to to wing on shore, I disencumbered my self of my cloak, ran out to the end of the jib-boom, dropped into the water, and in a short time stood beside them, on good old mother earth! Very grateful was I to heaven for my escape. The remainder of the crow reached the shore, one at a time, in like manner, in the course of a couple of boars thereafter. 'For the benefit of the curious,' should add, that the beach upon which we found ourselves, was that of a low uuhahited island, adjacent to a point of land called r' . ...

INlttcla, ren, what are you &timing at?" "Why, as sure as deid, 1 had a blink of a kart lying in the bog by the burn un der the Mealtexr. But my prospect is foul; he is lying beyond that great black place in the bog, joust in a line wi' thae hinds wha are on the scalp of the hill aboon." .And a noble fellow he is, Machren; I can just see his burns and the point of his shoulders. It is a glorious chance; fur, once in be burn, we can get within a hundred yards of him, and that is near enough in all conscience. Here, Light toot, look at the fine fellow: pull oil your cap, and rest the glass on the stone." "Not the semblance of a deer can 1 see; but PH take your word for it: I dare say he is there, since you say so. And now explain to inn how you mean to get at him; communicate my good fellow; for it seems, by all your caution, that even at this distance you dare not show a hair of your head." "Creep back, then, behind the hill, whilst I mark the very ,spot in the burn which is opposite his lair. Well, now I will tell you: , 'We must go all round by the east behind yon hill, and then come up at the ditch between yen two hills, which will bring us into the bog; we can then come forward up the burn under the cover of its banks, and pass from thence into the bog again by a side wind, when we may take at his broadside, and thus have at Lim. It would be quite easy to at the hart, if it wer, - ! not fur the hinds on the top of the hill; bat it we start them, and they go on belling, the hart will follow them, whether he sees us or not. Well, Lightfoot, you have come on capitally; and have hitherto been able to walk like a man, with your face erect to wards heaven. But now we are below the hill we must imitate quadrupeds, or even eels, for an hour or so. You have promised most faithfully to comply with my instructions; so pray walk and crel; behind toe, and carry yourself precisely as I do. Be like unto the dotterel, who, according to the worthy and veracious Camden, stretches out a wing when the fowler extem!'± arm, and advances his leg when the said fowler puts Mrth his eorresponding,linib. Above all, be as si lent ns the grave; and when you step up an stones, tread as lightly as a ghost. If your back aches insupportably, .you may lay down and die; but do not raise your• self an inch to save your life, precious as it is. Now let its put our caps in our pockets. Heaven bless me! do not raise up your hair with your fingers in that manner. I assure you, my good fellow, that just at present it would be much inure becoming to be bald, or to wear your hair like King Otho. Abduct), you will remain here, and watch the deer when I have fired. Sandy, follow you at a paver distance with the dogs; and conic you along with us, Peter, and take the rifles, And - now, my lads, be cattily." The party then advanced, sometimes on their hands and knees, through the deep seams_of the bog, and again right up iit2 middle of the burn, winding their eau ! tious course According to the inequalities of the round. 11:ClsiollailY the seams led in an adverse direction, am, t then they were obliged to retrace their steps. This stealthy prog ress continued some time, till at lengtl7 they came to some green sward, where the ground was not so fa vorable. Here was a great difficulty; it seemed barely possible - to pass this small piece of ground with Jut discovery. Fra ser, awai e of this, crept back, and explo. red the bug in a parallel direction, work ing his way like a mule, whilst the others remained pcostrate. Returning all wet and bend' ed, his long serous face indica • led a failure. This dangerous passage then was ,to be attempted, since there was no better means of approach. Tortoise, in low whispers, again entreated the strictest caution; .Raise not a toot nor a hand; let not a hair of your head be seen; everything depends upon this movement. This spot - once rassed successfully, we are sale from the hinds." He then made a signal for Sandy to lie (lowa o ith the dogs; and placing himself flat on his stomach, began to worm his r Vor.. IV. No 29 way close uader the low ridge of the bug; imitated most correctly and beautifully by the rest of the party. The Intro now came sheer up to . intercept the passage, and formed a pool under the bsnk, run. ning deep and drumly. 'I he reader then' turned his head round slightly, and passed his hand along on the grass as a sign for Lightfoot to wreath himself alongside of him. "No, my good fellow, no remedy, If you do not like a ducking, stay here; but for Heaven's sake, if you do remain, lie like a flounder till the shot is fired. Have no curiosity, I pray arc' beseech you, and speak, as I do, in a low Whisper."-- "Pshaw! I can follow wherever you go, and in the same position too." "Br: vol here goes, then. But for 11,tren's sake do not make a splash and noise in the wa ter, but go in as quiet as a fish, and keep under thefligh bank, although it is deeper there. There is a great nicety in going in properly; that is the difficult po , nt. I be lieve it finest be head foremost; but we must take care to keep our heels down as we slide in, and not to wet the Hist! Peter; here lay the rifles on the' batik and give them to ine when i ;no in the burn." 'Tortoise /then Nro.ke.l half his belly over the bank, and, stooling low, brought his hands upon a large granite stone in the guru, with his breast to the water, and drew the rest of his buds• after him as straight as he pos.,ilily could. He was then half immersed, and getting close under the bank, took the riles. , The rest followed admirably. In fact the water was not so deep as it appeared to be, be ing scarcely over the hips. They procee% ded in this manlier about twenty yards, when, the ground [Aug more favorable, they were enabled to get on dry land. "Do you think it will do'!" "11usii: hush! —he has not seen us yet; and yonder is my mark. The deer lies oppcsite it to the south: he is almost within gunshot now." 'A s ig n was given to Peter. Fi:,,cr to come alongside, for they were arri, ed at the spot front which it nes r:ecessary to diverge into the loose. It breathless cx - pectat ion they now turned kl tie: eastward . and crept forward throup the bog, to en l able them to come in upon the flank of the hart, who was lying with his head up wind and would thus present his broadside to the rifle when he started; whereas, if they had gone in straight behind hie, his halm. elms would have been the only mark, and the shot would have been a disgraceful roe. Now came the anxious moment. Every thing hitherto had suceeetleri; much valuable time had Leen spent; they had gone forward in every possible position; their hands cud knees buried in b0,.,, , t5, wreathing on their stomachs through die mire, or wading up the [torus; and all tats one brief moment might render futile, either by means of a single throb of the pulse in the act of firing, or a sudden rush of the deer, which would take him instan tly out of sight. - Tortoise raised his heart slowly, but saw not the quarry. By de grees he looked an inch higher, when Pe ter plucked him suddenly by the arm and pointed. The tops of his horns alone were to be seen above the hole in the bog; no more. Fraser looked anxious, for well he knew that the first spring would. take the deer out of sight. A- momenf'S pause, when the sportsmen. held up his ri fle steadily above the position of the hart's body; then, making a slight tickling noise,. up spran g the deer• ' as instantly the shot was flied and crack went the ball right against his ribs; as lie was making his rush. Sandy now ran forward with the clogs, but still as well concealed by the ground as he could manage. "By heavens he is off, and you have missed him; and here ant I. wet, tat red, and feathered, and all for nothing; and I suppose you call this sport. 'Fraser now went on witlythe hounds in the leash, striking, and recovering himself, and springing from the moss bogs, till the dogs caught sight of the hart, and they were slipped: but the fine fellow was soon out of bog, and went over the top of the Medium'. All went forward their best i;aee, rflunzing ;:t and out of the black mire, i till they came to the foot of the hill, and then with slackened pace went pant ing up the steep acclivity. Hark! I tho't I heard the bay under the hill. No, 'twas the eagle; it may be he is watching for his prey. Hark again; do you hear them, eter?" ~I did na hear naethinc , but the plevar; sure he canna win farther forrat than ould Ileclan; lie was sair donneredl at first, but he skelped it bravely •after- • wards: we shall see them at the down come." 'True enough they did, for when they passed over thl hill to the south, the voice of the hounds broke lull upon them, and they saw the magnificent creature stand ingon a narrow rojectini , ledge of rock within the cleft, end in the mid course of a- mountain cataract; the upper fall plun ging down behind him and the water, coursing through his legs, dashed the spray and mist around hun t and then at one leap went plumb down the abyss be•
