TIM IN such as the last few weeks in Syria and Palestine, try men's souls, and enable those who stand outside of the immediate trial to do justice to the merits of the wise and faithful. British residents in the Levant, and especially British Consuls, hold in their hand. • vast power over the progress of civilisation, and over the immediate peace of the world ; and we cannot too well understand the position and conduct of our officials, in the midst of the late reign of terror, nor too highly value the merits of those who have worthily upheld the reputation and influence of our country. Jerusalem, being out of the track of bloodshed, has be,u longer in becoming a subject of study to us than the Syrian settlements which contain even a smaller number of European residents. Yet the everlasting interest which hangs around Jeru astern must render it an all-important element in seasons of strife between Christiana and anti- Christiana. And now that the intelligence is be ginning to arrive in full detail it is as profitable for guidance—and possibly for reproof—ea could have been imagined. It a quite understood among British travellers, and all who have attended to &atom affairs, that the genuine Euglish in Jerusalem have a good deal to bear with, in the best times, from the preva lent persuasion and assumption that England dues not hold the place in Europe that As once did, and that it will be the duty and pleasure of Rus sia, Germany, and France, sauce day soon, to com pel her to tight for the Christian faith. However foolish this provincial sort of error and vanity may be, it does constitute something of a trial to British residents in Jerusalem ; and it be conies of grave importance iu such critical seasons as that which has just passed. The Mis sion and its Bishop, we need not say, have much to do with the growth and prevalence of this per mission, and it is needlessly strengthened by the ill-judged parsimony with which our affairs at Jerusalem are Londucted. Consulships are not all alike in importance, or in extent of business, and that of Jerusalem is of eminent importance in the present state of the East ; yet our Consulate can aff;rl only one dragoman, when the French has seven, and every other boar or tire ; and our Consul has not even a secretary or assistant. Amidst all criticism, in Parliament and out of it, of Civil Serves expenditure, there is no wish among those who provide the revenue that such • Consulate as that of Jenisalem should be beg gritty in its circumstances, to the deep injury of the Consul's powers, and of the influence of the country he represents. From all causes coin billed, the expectation has grown up in Jeru salem that England will not long main tain her footing of peace and friendli ness, but will be compelled to oppose or desert the Moeleim, who in Palestine generally are as devotedly attached to England as the Syrian population fur the most part are to France. The traveller who ventures sense the Hanna, or pitellies his tent among the ruins of Teener, ca tell how Euglood is worshipped by the desert tribes ; while in the Lebanon France is the centre of all expectation. lu Palestine, the love for England is shared by the Jews, and especially in the district which surrounds Jerusalem. Under the agitation of the late news from Syria, it may be imagined what the excitement was when one set of people gave out that the hour was come for El . SiLLUd to be coerced, and the rest felt that with the free policy of England would vanish their safety and all their hopes. During the early part of July it was told in the streets of Jerusalem that in • little while there would be an end of every thing English there. Life, property, influence, would ell be destroyed, and Palestine must get oa as she might without the English. The one banker at Jerusideiudiduot mend matters. )loneyaffairs were already in a bad state, from the Pacha--e, ass sible man where political economy is not coarsened —having depreciated the currency in spite of all ✓emonstranos ; and when panic seised upon the hanker, who pressed for his money from his debtors, and prepared to fly, with his family, • mischievous alarm spread among the Europeans in the: city. The Consul, well aujusinted with the Paella, and with the effeetive control he had over his soldiers, se well as with the geed will of Mush:tea and Jews towards the English, felt no alarm, and dui his best to keep down the panic. the Monday, the I tith of July, the news of the Daneueus massacre arrived, and upset the small fortitude of the alarmists. Home shut theism/leer within their houses; and many ran all day about the streets, and from house to hones, spreading the most absurd rumours, and kindling a frantic terror. SOUND who should have set so example of (shames, courage, said nmonablenees, monied with greedy ears the wildest tales, and with busy tongues sent them abroad ; and when obliged to retract them, they could not undo to. mischief ern eight by their folly. one of these stories was, that the Pacha in disguise had, the evening before, found the guard It the up the keys to the Siloam at once traced this story i who confessed it to be a were quiet enough ; prebend that the Wmpk pink kilns might put mischievous notions tilitil disposed of any faith. tEre threatened __ the Conga finned the proclamation which 3111311111kinisua2iza. col= One et the Manion sabsobeasters fled with his family ; mid finer otheH boaseholds were known to be ready to start. Heamekeepers of twenty years' standing were haehly packing up their effects and casting ballets. The Superintendent of the House of Industry was off to Alexandria, with wife and children ; and the inmates were found, in trembling terror, sharpening area, and repairing any implements that would do execution. All this alarm was without any justification whatever from facts. The Consul, and some temporary re sidents who kept their senses about them, were naturally on the look out for threatening appear ances ; and as long as they could perceive no symptom of disturbance, and knew the Paella to be both willing and able to keep order, they felt it a duty to discountenance the alarmists to the utmost. At the moment when the slightest acci dent in street or house might have brought about a collision, the Christians refused to open their shops on the Friday, having been informed that a general massacre of their body was to begin on the return of the Moslems from the mosque. No efforts were spared to show them the folly of thus inviting attack ; but they did not open their shops, nevertheless. The Consul, dreading an artificial commotion, induced by the dread of one, had written to Beyrout, to re quest that a man-of-war might be sent down to Jaffa, simply to restore confidence. To avoid bad effects from disappointment, be said nothing of the step he had taken ; and on the Friday, the 20th, the news of the arrival of the Mohawk, Captain HOWARD, ofi Jaffa, gladdened everybody, from the trembling domestic in a German household up through the Jewish merchanta to the Moslem Pacha, who at once countermanded all the special arrangements he had made to meet the unnecessary perils of the day. The facts of those few days speak more strongly than any narrative. None of the terrible stories could be found to have any solid foundation. While some Christians were preparing for eight, or siege, or massacre, others were going about as usual on their private affairs, one lady riding in from the country, seven miles, and back again on her ass, with only her donkey boy, and meeting with no token of Moslem displeasure. We are safe enough at Jerusalem ; we have a great duty to do there, not only to immi grants and Jews, but also to Moslems. There is no real obstacle to our living in friend ship with them. They look up to us with respect sod reliance ; and to keep up • good understand ing with Moslems in any centre of influence is to support the Turkish empire in the best way, and to strengthen the chances of peace in Europe ; but, to do our duty fully, we must 'support our ?representative somewhat more liberally. Our Consul should not be restricted as to assistants and servants in the presence of the representa tives of other powers. We are so fortunate in Mr. Flex, whose energy, frankness, and manly liberality towards all sects and all men have long commanded the confidence of native residents of every creed, that nothing should be spared to strengthen his hands and render the honour and influence of England entirely safe under his ad ministration. arrivsdrimid tended =Uri • Thellelita !Mm Limaymilliseid Cape Race on _ lhe 14th bit • Advises from Mexico state that preparations were =made at Vera Cruz to resist the thr ea t ene d by the Spaniards which is expected next month.

In yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath Cardinal &amber agreed that the greatest possible auto nomy should be grunted to the provinces, but at the same time principally insisted on the necessity for maintaining the unity of the empire. Prince Auersperg recommended that equal con stitutional r' is should be granted to the provinces and that the basis of the liberties acquired in 1868 should be recognised. The prince further recom mended a greater extension of the ancient institu tion of proviunial diets by the admission of repre sentatives from the citizens and the rural repulse tion. Count litailath condemned the privileges of certain dittoes of society. He also spoke in favour the unity of the empire according to the teuour of the Pragmatic fiaaction. Count Apponyi stated that the re-establishment of the former constitutional privileges of Hungary could be effected without any danger to the elate. M. Meager preferred sacriticiog the historical rights of his compatriots to the establishment of the representative system throughout the whole empire. ITALY.

The Conetitutionnel publishes au article, signed by M. Bouiface, on the influences which urge the Pope to leave Rome. The Constitutionne/ says :—" A very near future will apprise us whether these influences will be vic torious. The same journal further ma :—" It is unrea sonable to ask that France should declare war against Sardinia. France will not extend her in tervention beyond Rome. Were she to act other wise she would render herself suspected to Europe and odious to Italy." The Constitutionnet, in conclusion, expresses the hope that the Pope may resist the counsels which are given to bun through hatred to France. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MON 001 OWN PARRA MONDAY Emma. The great question of the moment is what is the nature and extent of the quarrel, and what the probabilities of a reooncilementdbetween Garibaldi and Cavour 1 Upon the solution of this problem, it is, perhaps, not too much to say that the destinies of Italy now hang. It is stated on good authority that Kossuth has written • letter to the Dictator, strongly urging bin, to act in concert with Victor Eininanuel and his cabinet, in whose hands is the salvation of Italy, to take no step against ROAN for fear of irritating Francs, and to abstain from agitating Hungary at present, because the country is not ready. Advice from such a quarter is likely to be most respect fully listened to, for Kossuth relies ultimately upon tho support of Italian patriots to aid the work which he proposes to accomplish in Hungary. TheOpillion Nationale, dwelling upon the obvious fact that Cavour and Garibaldi have both substan tially the same end in view, thi -iks that when two such men have • difference of opinion as to the means, it is impossible to believe that they can ruin their great cause by a fatal rupture. This journal urges Garibaldi to be patient, and to feel quite confident that he has yet a great part to play. The Pope, it observes, has now no army ; he has lost three fourths of his aides ; be has uo budget; and he can not long attempt to govern with his private re sources. The discontent with his government must of necessity go on increasing in Rome to such an extent that he will be driven to a temporary retire ment, as the only step to be taken consistently with his interest and his dignity. The Pattie, giving form and body to a sinister rumour which has been already current, says that • corps of 6,000 men has been meat from Leghorn to take possession of Sicily, and proclaim the im mediate annexation of the island. This would be an open breach with Garibaldi, cud perhaps, which God avert, civil war. . One ground for hoping that au understanding will speedily be come to between Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel's government is that Garibaldi's intimate friend Pallaviano Trivulzio, who it was lately supposed bad been appointed by him pro dictator of Naples, has just returned from Naples to Turin, and is believed to be charged with a con ciliatory mission. The French government continues with praise worthy energy to treat as an insult and a calumny every augliestion that it meditates further annex. atlas. flie Pays and Pais indiginintly deny the truth of a report circulated in some-ltalian journals, and particularly the Murimento,which pretends to give the text of the treaty, luit the Yiedmontese government has engaged to give up Sardinia and other possessions toFranoe, in a cer tain given case. The Bonne has been animated, and the tone is decidedly better than for a long time past. The tendency to a rise is considered now to rest upon something more sound than the inanteuvres of capi talists.

Ca pu a must be attacked, or the army be left to be maintained at the King's expense, to collapse by the influ ence of time, or of desertion from the King's canoe. This alight sketch of the potion of affeire at Oasts and Capin will tender ietslligikle to you the movements of Garibaldi at the spot to which we hastened last evening. " We arrived at Caserta about 2 o'clock this morning. You will remember the fine palace of the King heat one of tho largest royal pekoes in Europe ; the barracks with socomniodation for 6,000 men, and the beautiful gard ens and grounds which stretch from the Mt of the to the mountains. The scene was striking In t he grand square about 3,000 troops were bivouacked. The climate requires no tent*, and they lay around their little firee,with their arms piled, in picturesque group. The palace was crowded; in the long corridors hundreds were sleeping, and it is but just to the conquering army to say that up to this time no act of Vandalism had been committed. The stole apartments were untouched, and, as far as I could observe, the costly and luxurious furniture and the classic statues remained uninjured. No bed could be obtained, and we bivouacked in our carriage among the soldiers. " At 4 o'clock the drum and trumpet called the men to arms. A few minutes before sunlight Garibaldi had arrived, and amid the enthusiastic plaudits of his army entered the pekes, and held a conacil of war with the generals of divi sion. All was bustle and excitement ; the treeres and restaurants were thronged, swords and bayonets were being ground and polished up, officer* were being shaved in the streets, coffee and hard bread were sold at • premium, regimental band' enlivened the scene, all the troops were under arms • and we left the exciting scene and pushed alms the high road to Capita. About two miles from Greets we pawed the first outposts of the Gitribeldian army. The appearance of these men lying 17 the roadside, with their anus piled in the centre of the road, was to me, wbo had never seen real war, interesting. In a line to the right and left, stretching up to the high hills ou the ono side for about two miles, and through the vineyards on the other, lay scattered the videttes and outposts of the Garibaldiins, and their red jackets enlivened the land map as they walked about or lay upon the ground waiting the order toe The most advanced outpost was at the village of Santa distant about • mile and a half from Capin. Al we entered it we found it occupied by about 1,300 Sicilian troops, under the command of General Eber. The site of the village Is • portion of ancient Cbpua, and the ruins of • magnificent amphitheatre, built by Adrian, command the town. At the gates which lead to Canna barricades had been erected, and strong forces of infantry placed. These were the advanced posts, and at about 400 yards distance we could, with our glasses, easily discern, smattered among the vineyards,the videttes of the Neapolitan army. A puff of white smoke, and then the sharp crack or the rifle, proved that they were on the alert We found General Eber at the Intendenaa, and Garibaldi with him. We were on the tiptoe of expectation. Colonel Baker, of the 10th Hussars, who bad joined our party, selected • spot on the ruin, of the amphitheatre from which we could view the attack and advance with the Garibaldian army. " Suddenly the news Cones from the extreme right that the Neapolitans had made an advance acmes the river and had retired again into Capita on meeting the right divi sion of Garibaldi, end orders were sent not to advance at Prr ent • `Thus we were disappointed. General Eber kindly pro mised to let me know, if possible, when the attack would be made, and we left tho villageof Santa Maria and returned to Caserta. ▪ Urge masses of troops are surrounding papa'. Artil lery has gone up to the front ; the road on the other aide of Capua to Gaeta is now commanded by Eber's dins' ion, and we are in hourly expectation of the attack being made. Garibaldi is expected from Merino to-morrow night, and it is prolsible that if • battle is to be fought it will be in his presence. I will write to you again." TREATMENT 07 AN ENGLISH TRAVELLER 4T BONN. A fortnight ago an English gentleman, holding office in her Majesty's household, was proceeding from Avows to Cologne, in company with his sister-in-law, her husband, child, and nurse. Excluding the infant, the party occupied four out of the eight seats in the carriage, which, however, they bad all to themselves until they arrived at Bonn. At that station two of the parties alighted to get some refreshment, leaving articles enough on their seats to show that they were not vacated. Presently two German ladies entered the carriage and took two of the meta unoccupied, nod • few unmade afterwards • Dr. Parow and his wife, inhabitants of Bonn, presented themselves also for accommodation. Inates d, however, of proceeding to the seats still vacant, the lot comers removed the things left by the English people as evidence of their tenancy, and installed themselves in the pre occupied places. They were at once informed of their mistake and requested to move, but to no purpose. Dr. Parow answered in an offensive tare that be should stay where he wee, and gave the seine information to the Eng. lish gentleman himself when he returned front the refresh ment-room. Our mintrymen did not commit himself by taking the law into his own hands, but appealed very properly to the cooduator, who soon brought the inspector or stationmater to the spot. This officer, by way of ever. b an d e d justice, ordered, not the intruder, but the rightful tenant to leave the carriage, and told the Englishman be must come out. We cannot say that the ecesiun was exactly without precedent. In the French revolution a country gentlenuin thought to establish the family title to certain lauds by producing in court undeniable evidence of 400 years' uninterrupted possession. He was altogether mistaken in his ideas of the case. My friend," said the magistrate, "if you have had the estate all that while, it is dear that you have had it quite long enough, and the sentence of the court therefore is that another citizen should now have his turn." tto argued the inspector at Bonn, bat the Englishman was obdurateand refurod to obey. This we enough to bring the whole civil power dowu, in aid of the law, on the head of our unlucky countryman. In obedience to the commend of the inspector, and in number sufficient to make victory certain, a swarm of !Rears, ticket-takers, and constables threw themselves upon the refractory passenger, and held him with • delight known only to • foregoer on getting an Englishman down. Of course the train went off, and with it our comitiyinan'a luggage, 1e himself being carried to the impactor s a flies and Ailed 10 dollars out of hand. Tina menial.% — still possessed of our rude insular notions of justice -ha refused to obey, and averred, indeed, that it was lie who was entitled to redress on hie own aocouut from the functiouery who was judging him. This contumacious behaviour brought still further troubles on his head. He was taken to the poliewoond, committed to gad, not allowed to be bailed, and, ftnally, after nearly a week's imprisonment, tried end sentenced to • tine donble the amount imposed by the inspector. —Tames. The following protest, the occasion of which will he gathered from the document its.lf, has been published in the Bonn said Cologne papers : " We, the undersigned English inhabitants of Bunn, beg to protest against the assertion made by the Steads-Proem niter Miller, op Tuesday, the 17th inst., during the pub lic sitting of the police court, that ' the English residing and Unveiling on the continent were notorious for the notepad*, impudence, and blacliguardiam of their conduct' ( Anima sung, Unverechilintheit, and Luinmelen.

The New York Hensfdisys :—" It appears that the Lady Elgin left Chicago on Friday evening, with about 400 per. sons (men, women, and children) on board, excursionists, tourists, and panniers. The steamer was bound on an excursion up Lakes Michigan and Supletord Till near dawn on Saturday.morning all went well and merrily. The saloon 'Was then the scene of music, dancing, and general feel. vity. Who on board that steamer, in her brilliant saloon joining in the mirth and jollity of their last festival, and enjoying the delights of the popular and graceful Terpsi chorean art, imagined for • moment that they were at that instant on the brink of an eternity into which all but • small [notion of them were to be precipitated within bait an hour afterwards Just before dawn, however, on Saturday morning there was en awful interruption to the gay scene on board the ill-fated steamer. The crash of • collie= startled all on board. The schooner Augusta, run ning at the rate of eleven miles per hour, came to contact with the lady Elgin, producing such • fra cture in her that she drifted helplessly for half an boor in the darkness, and then sank in 300 feet of water, when some thirtrfive rude' from Chimp. The fearful scene attending the sinking of the lady Elgni frightens imagination from picturing what it was. All on board, with the exception of some eft% or silt; persons, were, it appears, simultaneously ingulfed in the waters of the lake. There seems to have been a most reckless and even criminal lack of boats and life-preserving apparatus." • The same journal adds "The lady Elgin was a Canadian-built boat, end was oonstructed some nine yams ago. She was named in honour of the wife of the Governor of British America, Lord Elgin. She was a boat of 300 feet in length, and 1,000 tons burden, and had the reputation of swiftness, which made her • favourite with excursionists and travellers. puemlly. Before the completion of the Grand Trunk Hailway of Canada the Lady Elgin carried the Quiadian mails along the northern shores of the lakes, and after its completion she was sold to the Chicago firm of Hubbard and to., by whom she hes since been owned, and who kept her em ployed in the Lake Superior and Michigan trade of mails, passengers, and freight. Her most western port was Hayfield, on Lake Superior, and the easterntenni num of her voyage was Chicago. Hayfield It about 100 miles east of the head of navigation on Lake Superior. These are copper mines there and at most of the ports along the shores of that great lake at which the steamer used to call. The Lady Elgin usually mode three annual excursions on Lake Superior, starting from Chicago. She always carried several hundred p..s.sen gess and pleasure seekers on each of these, and it wee while she was proceeding on the last of her three excursions for the present year that she met a fate which has thrown a frightful pall over her entire career. It is an unfortunate fact that the last excursion of the three in every year was invariably the one iu which the lady men had the largest living fresght. The captain of the unfortunate steamer was Mr. John Wilson, who has in all probability shared the calamity of her fate to the extent of his life. He had con. molded her since she changed ownership, and was a must popular and favourite master among passengers and pleseure travellers to whom be was known. He bad oomiderable experience in the navigation of the lakes, having been engaged in it for sonic ten years. lie leaves • family to lament his sudden and unexpected demise." The Chicago Democrat of dept. 10 contains the following statement of one of the survives, named Edward Westlake : . . . . "I was porter on the 'teenier Lady Elgin. We left Chicago on Friday evening for Milwaukee shortly after mid. night. The wind was blowing hard from the north-east, and a heavy see running. There was a large party oe board— five or six minions to each state room—and many were sleeping on the fool. I went to bed about a quarter peat 2. My bed was on the wain deck, near the after paiisay, on the larboard side. I had not got asleep when 1 heard a kraal crash. I jumped out of my room with my pants in hand, and pulled them on as I went oa deck. I went for ward on the larboard side, and saw a vessel at the after gangway. Some of our crew helloed to her to seed her ere* aboard, as we supposed she was sinking, but no answer was made to our hail, and we saw no person. .A.s she fell aft some portion of her rigging broke the lamp-room win dows. She soon was out of sight. I then went forward, where 1 met the captain. He told me to get a light. 1 gut one, and we looked over the side to see what damage was dune. It appeared to be not serious. The captain thought that by hating her to starboard she would not leak, as the damage appeared to be above the water line. 1 then went and looked down the flrehole, and Lean! that Richard Alexander, a fireman, bad discovered a leak. By command of the captain 1 went aft for some nat. tresses, with which to stop the water flowing in. With the assistance of a couple of passengers I threw down eight or ten mattresses into the hold. 1 then went back through the cabin. The ladies and gentlemen were gathered iu the cabin, but appeared to be neither alarmed nor ex cited. I then went to the pilot-house, where I remained a minute. The wheel was put hard aatarboanl. The boat heeded fur shore. I ran down again to the lire. hold, and saw water within a foot of the furnaces. I went aft immediately, and met Mr. Caryl, and told him about the dangerous leak. He and I went forward immediately to the firekede and saw water ruabiu into the (unlace*. In going aft 1 met the captain ;he appeared cool awl collected. He oedema the after yawl to be Leered. I Welk the bow tackle, and somebody, I Meow not who, sass at the stern. As the boat lowered, 1 saw several porous jump into her frosu the promeuade deck. 1 donut know who they were. As the boat struck the water the tackle was sin. hooked, end I swung off by the ropes into the boat. Mr. Caryl then jumped in and one or two deck hands. The can. taiu ordered us to go round to the larboard side, where she had been struck, for the purpose of stopping the leak with mathremes, which, be said, they would throw over to us. We bed hut one ear in the boat, and though we asked repeatedly for another, there was nobody to hand it to us ; the captain had left that place, and the people seemed to be very much excited and confused, and screamed, ' Come in with the boat ! Eons in with the boat ! ' We could sot gut alongside. The steward, Mr. Noe, jumped of the main deck into the water to help us with the boat lie swam to us, and we took him in. We then hallooed for a line to be thrown to us, but did not get it. We sculled around as well as we could with one our for the purpose of getting alongside, hi the meantime contin. tally asking for smother um or for a line. But no sties. lion WSW paid to us. Finally some one threw with car ; but it was carried off by the sea. By extraordinary exertions we seared the Klgiu somewhat when a man jumped off the promenade deck, and we took him into the boat. The tried then blew us away still further, and we were ',n egated from making another approach. After lying elf a little while, the distance between the Elgin and ourselves ounstan e lli growing greater, we put the boat before the wind, ta with 13 persons , myself included, started for the there. We saw the lights of the Elgin after we had been from fi to 10 minutes away. She was rolling heavily. After the expiration of that time she appeared to sick between two heavy swells. When we arose on the top of the wave we saw her no more. We got &adore near Nt yuntlut about 6 o'clock as., worn out and exhausted by the night's danger and fatigue. We supplier, the accident happened about tea miles from the land. We had gloat difficulty in landing under the bluff. Our boat was attained, but all the party wore saved. After au hour or two another but came asuore, containing sight persons. lu lauding she was upset in the surf sod four of her passengers were drowned. 1 mingled freely with the !maneuver after we left Chicago, and am of upiuiou that there were at least 330 mule, including the crew, on board. After we set out the greatest good feeling was manifested by the ;arty, and dancing said other forma a merriment were kept up tall a late hour. When the accident happened, wait of the party had gone to bed, though there may have been a few still up in the saloon and other parts of the boat. to far as I was able to observe up to the time of leaving the vessel, but little fear was felt among either pawieugeis or crew. There were not many cries or much wailing among the ladies of the party. Our going away was much west our will. With but one tar in such a beat as and iu stash a sea, we could du nothing but put our boat befell: the wind. I know nothing of any raft being made, though one might have been ceustructed after I left the steamer." The ekkago JOU roof of September 8 says :.—" The saving of David Benson and wife, of Milwaukee, treated the greatest excitenieut. The gallant fellow VAS aeon some dietauce out, upon the top of the wheelhouse, hold ing his wife by one arm and clinging with his other to the fail ark. As he reached alien" a lawful surf spiced his raft, and its burden was out of sight for mural seconds. When they raw the wife was at SOON distance from the raft. The gallant fellow left it and swam to his wife, seized her, and again regained the wheelhouse. All on shore held their breath while they approached. At one Mittet they appeared high in she air, and the next were buried out of eight beuesith the terrible surges. At last the wheel house grounded some distance from the beach, when the than, with his wife in his arms, jumped off and commetieA wading to the laud.
