DINTII 1 SSING SHIPWR ECK -Capt. ARCHIBALD
HALL, in this state. called on us on Monday last, and gave us
an account of his retent sufferings by shipwreck, from which we
have prepared the billowing statement : "Captain Hall sailtd
front Boston on the 2l'd of September, in the ,loop Sally, of.
St. George, hound to Macim,s. His crew consisted of two
young lad, 17 or 18 yea s old ; a d he had on board two fe-
male pa• se gers belonging to Machias. After leaving Boston,
they soon experienced very rough and boisterous weather,
and' after being out 26 days, while scudding under bare poke,
in a v,, lent gale they lost b t'leir mast and rudder, fr im
which time they drifter! at the mercy of the winds and waves 21
days longer, before they were taken off from the wreck. In a
few days their store of provisions was reduced to nine biscuits.
Upon this morsel five persons lived so sparingly as to mid; it
1. st 14 days. At last the biscuit failed, and no help appeared.
Tt.eir only sustenance now was two or three rats wh:Ji
they were so fortunate as to obtain by means of a eat which
t icy had on board ; and finally, they feasted their famished
bodies on the cat herself. These means of sustenance finally
failed them, and still there was no prospect of relief. Tray
had hitherto been obliged to keep one hand at the pump, rnest
of the time, to prevent the vessel from sinking. But they
had now become so weak as to be scarcely able to walk.—
Three days longer they survived all oft the least sustenat.ee.
save what they obtained from an old beef bone, which they
bJiled over five times, and drank the liquor, which became
sightly nutritive by means of the marrow and fat of the bne.
vo clays before they were relieved, a brig hove in sigh;--
their dying hearts revived within them, and their half-gli:zed
eves beamed with hope. The brig drew near; she was not
m ire than half a mile distant; she hauled to the wind, threw
b.4ck her top-sails, and appeared to be watching the wreck.
With longing eyes the dying.sufFerers waited to see the boat
lowered into the water. But whilst they watched, behold the
brig filled her sails, kept on her course, and was out of sight.
Hunger had now driven them to the last resource. one
must perish to preserve the lives of the others a little longer.
Who that one should be they solemnly agreed to decent:Lie
the next day at 12 o'clock, if Providence should not sooner is -
terpose in their behalf. But they were not left to this Sad e'k-
tremity. About 3 o'6,a in the afternon, the brig Daniel, Capt.
Lawton, of Dartmouth (gngland) appeared in sight, emu.:
to their relief, took them from the wreck, and carried theme
to St. John's, Newfoundland, where they were treated with the
greatest possible kindness by the citizens of St. John's, as well
as by Captain Lawton. They were furnished with an abur.d-
ance of clothing and money,- and after their strength was 4ct
ciently restored, they took passage for their home. in this Stat4_
where they have safely arrived."—(New York Portland A
