WnEOK ON THE COAST OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS.—
A letter written from the Falkland Islands in behalf of
the crew tf the North American ship Antoinette, states
that that ship has been wrecked on the coat of the Falk-
land Islands, while on its way to London "We got to
Berkeley Sand," it says, l'on the second day after we kft
the ship, or rather to a settlement at Port William, whe, e
we found an American consul, to whom the captain told
our loss, and that %here Was a boat and five men adrift,
whom we had lost eight of. The gocd cld gentleman
got a vessel the same afternoon, and at daylight the w x,
rucrni, g proceed° I to 1 ,nk for them, although it blew a
gale of wind. His la,t worils to us were, 'Don't fear,
if they are alive I will find them ;' an.l find thew he
did on one of the email is ands, with boat stove and
without water ; and the crew informed me that be
never left the (1,-ck or slept until he did find them, when,
ha showed them every kindness in air paver. He
was absent but font. days. I am informed by the in-
habitants of the coluny that he has always been in the
habit of acting in this way for many yFrirß. He is the
same man who went in pursuit cf and band Captain
Gardeer and the missiotialies who were starved to
death at Cape Horn, rescued a French crew on the
coast of Patagonia and in the Straits tf Magellan, ant,
a Danish crew at Hattenland, and all at his Own ex-
pense. The job ihitant4 iqty he is better acquainted ano
has more knowledge of the plact3 and coast than an)
man living. He is kind, generous, and libtral in the
extreme,"
