SAVING LIFE AT SEA.—Every storm demonstrates
the necessity of Congress making an appropriation tom.
defray the expense of saving life at sea in cases of ship'
wreck. On the 28th, 29th, and 30th ult. an easterly hut-
ricane swept over the Gulf Stream, which damaged ever]
vessel, more or less, that was exposed to it, some 20'
badly that they had to be abandoned. Among the latter
were the bark United States and the schooner Roseneath`
The ship Moses Wheeler, Captain Whitman; bound
from New York to Valparaiso, rescued the crew of the
bark and eight passengers, in all 32 persons, and sub-
sequently transferred 17 of them to the bark Inman, and
probably put into Bermuda to land the others. Ever/
humane man will say that this was right, and that Car
tam Whitman is a noble fellow, but not one in a itou-
sand will bestow a thought upon the expense incurred-
The loss of time, the provisions consumed, and probablY
clothing furnished,—all these the owners of the shiP
must bear. Is this fair? Suppose she should rescue
another crew—and such a supposition is possible—in*
the vicinity of Cape Horn, having barely provisions and
water enough for her own people, she would be compelled
.to run back to Buenos Ayres to avoid starvation. Con-
sidering the low state of freights, it is possible fora shir
rroats 01 a floya6c iaa Glut. sya -Those familiar with ship news know that there have
been several cases where single vessels had two crews Mt+
board besides their own, and where more than one ship'
master has been ruined in pocket by his humanity
Upon a former occasion we cited the case of the brig
Marine, belonging to this port, which rescued a large'
number of passengers from the wrecked steamer Central
America ; the expense of which exceeded the earnings et
her voyage. Her owner, Mr. Elisha Atkins, was able
to bear the loss; but had she belonged to a number of
poor men the loss might have deprived them of their all•
We have little doubt that there are many small vessel°
which, if they should rescue 30 or 40 persons, the set
would be equivalent to giving the vessel away. The
master of a schooner, if he saw a ship in distress, night.

for a market ; if I put back my voyage is broken,- *4l
myself ruined: and put back I must, if I rescue theta
poor fellows. What can I do ? I might as well Mahe,:
them a present of my vessel and cargo as save them'
We know that seamen are as humane as other men; but
it is too much to expect that they will ruin themseleee•
even to save life. The reports of masters recently arrived
in New York and Philadelphia speak of vessels seen ie
distress, but which could not be relieved "owing•tn the.
state of the weather, &c.,"—a standing excuse. NOW.
if vessels saving life were indemnified for the expense'•
we sincerely believe that hundreds of lives might b
saved every year, which otherwise would pass out,ef

vessels, when anything like a wreck is in sight tollser

—"We have something else to do besides runaingieh
over the ocean to pick up lame ducks. Every nun for

testimonials of approbation to foreign shipmasters NOP
may rescue American seamen ; and this is right;.
have not a word to say against it; but a chronometeo
gold watch, or a sextant will not cover the expense'
While this appropriation has our hearty approval, we
wish to see another to cover all expenses of saving life'
Congress has very properly made provision to reward out
naval officers who may capture slavers ; surely it will n 4
refuse to indemnify those who may save the lives of eer
fellow-citizens, if the subject is brought to its notice'
The expense of sailing ships, in the present depressed
condition of trade, is very great, and shipowners generaUf
can ill afford the risk of breaking up a voyage, even ig
behalf of humanity. Not long since a bark belonging
to Salem rescued a ship's company ; she put into the
Cape of Good Hope to land them, and while there She
was driven ashore in a gale of wind and wrecked. .111
hands were saved, but they lost their effects, and the
profits of their homeward passage. We have recurrete
to this subject at present in consequence of the 'large
number of vessels wihch have been recently seen ,at seg
in distress, and were not relieved, and the crews of which'
we fear, may have perished. Commercial Bulletisti.
