STRANGE ADVENTURES OF A SHIP-
WRECKED CREW.

The London barque, Silurian was Instrumental on her
recent pawed to Vaporise r in rescuing 19 of the crew of
the American ship Oracle, which foundered at see. The
story of the wreck and the subsequent adventure* of the
crew, as r.late.i by the commander (C.ptain EL Morrison),
ot the most Lutenist ug kind. From Captain Morrison's
statement it seems tut the Oriole, • ship of wine 1.500
tone. left 8.0 Francisco with • cargo of grain for NOW
York in the early pat of the present year. Oo the fith of
March heavy weether was encountered, end the
tremendous seas which came over the vessel filled the
decks, and portions of the bulwarks had to be cot away.
One wave demolished the wheelhouse, whilst another
smashed the rwmg skylight, ohnultaneously flooding the
übin. The crew bed to chug to the rigging to save their
lives. One poor fellow nartmd Richard-ltuon, who was
unable to retain his bold, was washed overboard. A lifs.
buoy w„, cue .drift, but nothing further could be done for
the man, who perished before the eyes of his helpless
comrades. The vessel herself wee at this time in • moot
criucal condition. Lind wso sighted on the following day,
but no soundings could be Liken, and the weasel subse-
quently got into the breakers and west ashore, although
all the; was possible was done to avert it The crew than
launched their four boats, and at ter provisiouing them
pulled tor the shore. The provisions were landed, and
me men were preparing to board um vessel to get a
further supply when she d,s appeased. By taking observa-
tions the captain found tau he and his men were ow
Herschel Island. The island, whlott is about five miles
long by one mile broad, was perfectly desolate and
uninhabited. The men made tents of some sail's they
had, which was the oily shelter available. TM provi- '
alone were stored, and each man wee allowed two
biscuits and • little meat per diem. It wee known that
sewing schooners netted the island, and each day • good
look out was kept for thew rustle but nose were found.
There were eight iseals in the vicinity, and each day
one Ives visited, with the top, of finding some friendly
vessel. Al last one of too maids, known as the Wolter
ton, was visited by the captain. mate, and five of the
crew, when they found two native [amides, apparently
living in • wretched coodition. They were in • perfect
state ot barbarism, but nevertheless treated the ship-
wrecked people with the utmost kindness, givint them
whet food they could. This consisted of mussels, fish,
and bulls. The only particle of covering possessed by
the salves WM the skin of a seal. This was movable,
and was pissed by the native, to cover that part ad
their bodies mos: exposed to the weather. The weather
wee very cold, a keen wind blowing worm the island,
accompanied by sleet and snow. The only weapon
of deluge or wreaks powered by the natives
wag a sling. Some spare clothing wag distributed
amongst the islanders prindpay old t
which were donned Indiecrisairmiaiy by mew
women. The backs were generally placed in front, to
the amusement of the sailors. To test the accuracy of
the aim with the sling, an exhibtion was asked by the
mate, who erected a target. The first shot felled, when
the native, in Slot use and disappointment, almost tore
off his civtlised garments, a:Camaro:Ls taking aim when
accoutred simply in his sealskin. On each attempt the
mult was struck. The seven men than again put off in
their own boat, and for two days and two nights suffered
terribly. On we thhd day • vessel wes sighted, sad alto
several hours of desperate pulling the exhausted men
came up with the Guinan barque Seoul. At drat the
captain of the vessel thought the shipwrecked men were
pirates, and for some little time persisted in his refusal to
allow them to go on board. However, they were fioally
taken on the barque; but on no account could the Gamut
captain be induced to go to Herschel Island for tie
remaining 17 of the crew, and,

proceeded on his voyage to Valparaiso. After beta& IS
days on board the &easel, the seven men were landed at
Valparaleo. Captain Morrison was jut on the point of
going before the authorities at the latter place
to ask for an expedition to be rent out in search of his
crew when he saw several of the very men in Velure's°.
It appeared that the Sogli.h vessel Silurian had gone by
the island and rescued th. 17 hands, bringing them on to
Valparaiso, where they had been landed a couple of deys
before their comrades
