• Acciamir ors, Doves.—Extract of a letter from a Gentleman
who was near being lost with his eldest son in Dover Roads, on
Wednesday last : " Dover, May 17.
" My dear--, lam jest saved from impending death. We*
left Calais yesterday with a strong gale, and arrived in the Roads
It -six. Our passage was horrible, and we were exhausted by
continual vomiting. A boat put off to us at about a mile from
the shore, with a heavy swell, the tide running furiously, and
the wind increasing. We embarked. In ten minutes, a packet
going out bore down upon us uLder a tremendous press of sail ;
we all shrieked out—it was ln vain—in a moment she was upon
as, and in another moment our bark gave a great groat, patted
and sunk ! We were now all under the bows of the vessel, in
the raging sea ; none uttered a word but D. each endeavoured
to look out for a plank—not an atom of the wreck remained;
sad the packet's loose ropes were the only frail iroplements by
which eight or ten human beings could possibly be saved. One
of these my boy got, and by instinctive feeling, climbeel up, and
suspended himself under the bowsprit of the vessel which had
wrecked us, and which continued its course at an enormous
rate. Many fret below him, and completely immersed in the
sea, I got hold of a small rope, not thicker than a skipping-
rope, and clung to it by both hands till my clothes, embued
with water, made the weight too great to• be supportable, and
one of my hands gave way and fell dead by my side. The small
hold afforded by the other was now my only chance. I felt that
one minute would settle this ; and my persuasion of being
drowned instantly Was so unmixed with a particle of hope, that
I said to my boy, " Gou bless you, my dear boy, 1 Altai go
doom !" In another moment myother hand gave way, and the
Mate and Captau of the vessel which had brought us (who had
been endeavouring to jet out a boat) agreed that I was gone,
and that exertion was no longer available. Just before this, a
fine young man, who had just taken leave of his sisters on board,
as they did not like to trust the boat, dropped lake a stone from
D.'s side, and sunk to rise no more. We bear this morning,
that there is a second sufferer, and that one or two of the men
are maimed, and-have broken limbs. I can tell you little of
my sensations. lam no longer a stranger to the expectation of
immediate death. I wondered within myself whether I should
have much to suffer, and recollect a kind of triumph at D.'s
having comparatively saved himself—but he could not have
lasted five minutes longer. As he hung, he kept calling out,
0 save my father ! save that Gentleman! he is my father !' all
in vain. There were many boats near; not one would place it-
self in the awful peril which had just crushed and swamped one
of their companions. The persons on board the packet which
had occasioned the accident were paralyzed, and looked on with-
out making the least exertion. _At last, one intrepid fellow,
hearing D.'s cries (and no voice was heard but his), called out,
that he would try to save him. At the moment when I was
sinking he caught me by my great coat, having most courageously
ventured his boat and his life under the tremendous sea, and in
a few minutes I found myself breathing in air, and D. by my
side. Ali my valuable luggage is, of course, lust."
