AN INCIDENT IN ALIRAN.

On Thursday last, the fast dav, a somewhat inOes•
vcnisnt, but withal laughable, mischanter, befel a large
piety of pleasure-seekers from Glasgow, at Brodick, id
the Isle of Arran. At half-past six, a.m.', the Sir
William Wallace steamer left Broomielaw,
crowded from stem to stern with well-dressed passer
gers for a day's sail to Arran, with the intention of re'
turning the same evening. All the way down the
Clyde and Firth the passengers became thinned, the
landing in detachments at Greenock, Large, miliporr•
&c., but still upwards of 100 accompanied the vessel to
the limits of her trip at Brodick, where they landeds
and were allowed two hours to stroll about and survey
the beautiful geological features of Arran. At twi
o'clock the party were called on board for the lintntwai.ria
run, but to the dismay of all it was discovered that
paddles were immoveable, and that the vessel crin,a
not be propelled the length of herself, horn a leakage
in the boiler, occasioned by the giving way of a rope
bolt, through which the water escaped. vige
efforts were made to repair the rent, and night beg
close in, but still the Sir William lay motionless is
Brodick Buy. Hunger arid discontent now Wail fa°
creep over the party, but they had to put up with °le
as best they might and make preparations for pass 4-
night in the vessel, in which they stowed tliemse're;
away, some in the cabin and some in the hold, so fat
the accommodations of the Sir William permittehu;
This it will be conceived was no easy matter' as
party consisted of all classes—husbands,
wives, a 0)(14
sprinkling of children, and gallants gay with their Oren:
hearts. hearts. Friday morning rose, and relief was as
away as ever ; but the passengers and crew gc't ;7•
with appetites keen as a razor. In ordinary
curnstances the detention cf the vessel would l'°;
been a matter of little moment, for all could have /If
relieved by the mail steamer ; but it unfortuastativ
happened that she was at this moment tempura
rat'
under repair, and a small wherry of very limiteuir,
commodation carried the bags from the Island to —r;
mare toad
drossan ; and although she might have taken
she did, the great majority of the holiday f°lkseb.ack
only put as much in their pockets as to bring them .
at fare
by the strainer, and even had they landed
san, they had no means of paying the railway fared;
Glasgow. In the course of the day they eat uP,vv. 6
only baker is the place twice over—at least thet-h 'bee
consumed his stock ; and a quantity of biscuit 11Pice-1 b

was equally beset, and the whole of the sweet Mara'-tja.
village of Brodick was in a state of fearful Ota'ibe
tion ! When provisions became scarce her% tri
party dispersed themselves inland, and the cajby
people were glad to bespeak their forbearsaae6ais
giving them cogs of porridge, cakes and %lie
o' kebbock," or boiled kail, and one 1
old ge„01
man gave them two pails of potatoes. Indeed, stied
the more desperately famished of the group sPL°7OO
slaughtering a sow, a few sheep, or a bullock ; art
are happy to say that they had not occasion t° r,":003
to this absolute extremity. Brodick Castle, the es'bt,t
res:denee of the Duke of Hamilton, was also tried, jed
as the " quality', were absent, all that could be la/4
here was a bundle of herrings. The pleasure
btaulb
paid for what they got as far as they could, and my et
some of them could not stand out the expenses, is 7,:bt
be remembered they could not starve. Friday 13beo'
was setting in, and still there was no relief, W•ate
fortunately, the Victor was observed steaming
the bay. Mr. Young, the proprietor of the \Val aancl
had set out for assistance in the morniagt late
brought or sent down this vessel ; but it was trailer
to set out, and the whole party, minus the small gilled
her who had gone by the wherry, were coalPfeibe
to pass another night in the cabin and hold of
steamer. The beleaguered passengers at length dad A
at four o'clock on Saturday morning, and werelioefel
the Broomielaw in the course of the forenoon, in 8 leo
plight. The holiday garments, which had neerA
shifted for two days and nights, were sorely dashel'ade,
some of the men had beards of a hermit's loaglido
after a weary pilgrimage. Altogether, the isla° the
were as glad to get rid of the Glasgow folio,
latter were to get away, and the incident is not
flolrto
soon to be forgotten by either party. It is only .
state that the accident which caused this annoyingof a
stilt on the part of the Sir William Wallace, woe her
perfectly trifling kind, and such as not to damseo d
fair fame ; but, slight as it was, there was no ate'
repairing it at hand.—Glasgow Herald.
