Frn ELI TV..---The Royal Bruce, Dumfries
stage coach, was involved in the dreadful storm of Satur-
day fortnight. She had set out from Edinburgh full of
passengers, and was accompanied by a chaise and four,
which also bad its complement of passengers. At De-
vine-glen, near to Drutulanrig Castle, in Nithsdale, the
chaise, which was a-head, was arrested by an enormous
wreath of snow, about twenty feet deep. Three of the
horses being remarkably powerful, the driver drove into
the wreath, with the determination to get through; but
there was no overcoming the obstruction, and the vehicle
stuck fast. To advance or retreat was impossible ; and
en thick was the drift, that the passengers could not but
anticipate to be spe.rdily buried in it. The coach came
up; but so deep was the gloom of the tempest, that the
chaise could not be descried from it. However, Purvis,
the guard, hearing the cries of despair which were raised
by the chaise passengers, stopped the coach, and, at the
risk of his life, carried them, one by one, ou his back,
out of the chaise, and through the snow wreath, to Dur-
risdeer mill, about SOO yards' distant, where they were
lodged in a smithy. To get the horses of both coach and
chaise out of their harness, and bring them to the smithy,
was a work of three hours fiar eighteen men. There being
a great many valuable parcels in the coach, Purvis, not- '
withstanding the tempestuotemeas of the weather, and in
spite of the entreaties of the passengers, determintA n ot to
desert his charge ; and, taking with him a little, bread and
meal (animal food and liquor seas not to be had be re-
paired to the coach, in which he remained from four o'clock
in the afternoon, till the evening of next day (Sunday),
sisted in remaining with the coach ; and actually did re-
provisions were, brought to biol. He still per-
main, never once stirring from it, for no less than five
nights and days ; by which time the wreath had been cut,
when some
and both coach and chaise were enabled to proceed, by slow
degrees, to Dulnfrie®, where they arrived, all safe' 04 Sun-
