began to catch fur breath, and felt as if I had bees
immured io a large coffin sloog with a number
corpses, and was doomed to huger out life beside
them. The sea beat against the vessel with a none
like that of artillery, end the crashing of the buL
work., driven in by its Violence, gave startling
proof the danger that threatened as. Having bob
vend times been dashed against the cabin walls by
the violent pitching of the ship. I groped for my
bed, and lay down in it, and. notwithstanding tb.
horrors that surrounded use, gradually dropped
uleep.
When I awaked', I perceived by the no.boom
that shone through the sky-light, tbat the •.
was far advanced. The ship rolled violently at isim.
terval., but the noise of whirls and waves had alto.
get her ceased. I got up hastily and almost dreaded
to look round, lest I should find my worst antic**.
toots concerning my companions too fatally in.
sliced.
I immediately discovered the Captain lying eft
eire side of the cabin quite dead. Opposite hie.
was Major stretched along the floor,
grasping firmly the handle of the door of his wife
apartment. He had, I suppose, in a moment
agony, wished to take farewell of the partner of
heart. but had been unable to get beyond the

cloudless, rind not the faintest breath of wind could
be felt. The *en had a beautiful bright green
colour, and v.as calm as a small lake. except %hes
all occasional swell rolled from that quarter in which
the wind had beet. the preceding 'tight ; and the
water was so clear, that I saw to the bottom, soul

keel of out venel.

sails of the mainmast had suffered mach injuiy.—
The mate told me that the souls:huge, sad ussno.t
