PHILADELPHIA, May 25
1t always gives us pleasure TO put on re-
cord the numerous instances Of humanity
which are produced in traversing the peri
lous ocean. Benevolence and generosity
have become characteristic points in a sea-
man. In him, more than any other class Of
men, thet are ornamental to human nature /;
because his pursuits more frequently call for
their exercise, and because in most instan-
ces they are purely disinterested There
cannot be a more bitter reproach cast upon
a sailor, than that Of want of sensibihty for
the suferings Of brother. tar and it must
be matter of pride to the profession to know,
that but few merit such approbrium.
We were led to these remarks BY a
gloomy fact, the knowledge of which has
been communicated TO us through the medi-
Of an official protest Capt. J Schoolheld,
of the sch. Princess Ann, sailed from Snow
hill, for St. Jago de Cuba, on the 18th of last
March. On the 31st being at sea in ire
menduous gale of wind, She lost her bow
spirit, both masts, and greater part Of rigg
ing and sails The foremast in giving away,
tore up part of the deck In this situation,
being f" sheer bulk" she lay at the mercy
Of every sea, until the 9th of April, when
g they spoke the brig Margaret, capt. Jen-
kins, from Jamaica, for Newyork, Of whom
they, solicited some assistance, and begged
him to take them into Newyork. This he
refused, unless they would agree to give him
a fourth Of the schooner and cargo, which
capt. Shoolfeld being unwilling to do, he
left them ard stood on his voyage" The
foregoing is copied verbatim from the pro-
test Of captain Schoolfeld upon which ev-
cry humane sailor and honorable man will
make proper comment
