tlemen behaved with GOODNESS and firm
ness, and looked steadily upon the dam
ger. Some of the ladies who were
confined to the cabin in the most try
ing distress, eyinced suitable fortitude
some looked calm and composed upon

tractedly to her husband, while another
pressed her infant to her bosom. After
a considerable time, the vessel had
worked slowly towards the shore, which
was now near and discernible, and all
apprehension of danger ceased. The
ladies were taken ashore about 70, con-
Quoted to house, and rendered COM
Portable. A clergyman offered up a
solemn and impressive prayer, in which
he was joined with a holy and devo-
tional feeling. 1t is due to Capt. r.
Bunker to state, that while the vessel
was manageable he behaved with great
presense of mind, delivered his orders
in manly and firm tone, and did every
thing the occasion required. But it is
relatedthat so panick-struck was one
of the gentlemen passengers, that after
he hadreached dry land, his senses for
sock him, and he imagined himself in
the water, and lay upon the beach in
the postureof man swimming, strik-
ing out his arms and legs with great
force.
