FATE OF THE PILOT BOAT.
RI WILLIAM u. TAPPAN.

FATE OF The PILOT BOAT.
RI WILLIAM u. TAPPAr.
During the late war with England, the Patriot
pilot boat was despatched to Charleston for the
purpose of bringing to New York, Mrs. ALLsroN,
lady of the then governor of South Carolina. and
daughter Of Colonel Burr, formerly Vice Presi.
dent Of the United States. Mrs. Allston was in
delicate state of health at the time, and unable
to travel by land From the time she embarked
and sailed from Charleston, no tidings whatever
had been heard Of the vessel or any one on board
Notwithstanding the weather was mild and ia
yourable, for several days after the vessel left
Charleston, and such as to render her loss mys
terious, no other idea of the melancholy circum
stance prevailed, than that the vessel must have
foundered at sea, or run under during chase.
But the mystery was at length developed. Two
of the Pirates sentenced to suHer death at New
Orleans, in the Spring of 1920, confessed tina,
they composed part Of the crew Of the above pi
lot boat Patriot That after being at sea two or
three days and near the shore, they rose upon
the captain and passengers, and confined then,
below; aud after plundering the passengers OF
a considerable sum Of money and plate, belong
ing mostly to Mrs. Allston, they launched the
boat and scuttled the vessel, which soon filled
and went down, with the unfortunate inmates
confined below Tie dreadful tragedy was per,
formed in the dead of night. These wretches
succeeded in reaching the shore with the boat,
and had thus far escaped detection and punish
ment for this horrible crime
The night was lone and the stsr-ray slept,
All bright on wave and lea;
And the tempest-king drear ylgils kept,
Ger the wide Atlantic sea.
The night was lone, and the murmuring train
Ofslumber stole along;
And softly whispering DER the main,
Was borne the sea boys song.
He sang of home and the simple charms
The cot of his fathers knew;
He sang ofthe joy of mothers arms,
And he sang Of tine maiden true.
The note was wild, but the artless lay,
His DrReE! should soon be o'er:
His bosom was light, but ere the day,
His bosom should beat no more
The ship was proud and gallant her trim,
Her banner swept the wave;
But ere the lamps of Heaven grew dim,
That flag should deck her grave
The FEMALE watched the beauteous star,
As DER the blue waste it shone;
And busy memory srayed aiar,
And fancy sighed alone.
She thought of bliss, and fairy home,
And affections smiling store;
But ah fond love, and husbands dome,
Tha. bosom should know no more.
For the pirate crew in rcvelry,
Had drunk to the dreadful deed,
And the murderers swore right jovially,
The innocent heart should bleed!
At the midnight hour was heard the cry,
The shrek Of fell despair;
At dawn was hushed the billowy sigh,
And the pale moon gimmered fair.
But the wind.god aw the deed of hell,
When the fiends forsook the deck;
He saw the barqne as it slowly fell,
Till it sunk-a viewless wreck
At midnigh when the seaboy's song
Is hushed-in lonely dread.
lie hears sweet music steal along
'ris the moan Of the helpless dead!

SIMULATED DEATH.

A very extraordinary case of this ma
ture occurred few days ago, at Hammer.
smith, in the person of Harriet Smith, a
young woman of interesting appearance
who served as housemad in the family
of Robert Emmerson, Esq. of Oxford ST.
This girl, it seems, had, about three years
ago, been thrown from the top of a stage
coach and received many severe contu
lsions both internal and external, which Sc
riously affected her strength and brough
on gradual decay of nature. Being in
capable of performing her customary bu
sness, she relinquished her situation, AM
obtained an asylum beneath the roof of
female relative at EIammersmth. Here
Notwithstanding her total cessation frpn
!, all corporeal labour, her complaint still ad
t lvanced; she every day grew weaker, an,
r was frequently subject to long faintings.
A Through the kind attention Of some Ia
dies with whom she had formerly live,
r rrlevery aid that eminent professional advic
c could afford, was rendered to her with
y constant supply of such necessaries an
. comforts as her helpless situation demal
/ ded.-On Thursday week she had bee

e with renewed strength, and in rather be
S; ter spirits than usual. After taking som
e Refreshments, she complained of exec

ID six and seven in the afternoon.

ecu,ion was read, after silence made, by Mr..
Beal clerk of the counsel, which done, the peo.

During the reading Of this commission, the said

OUR COAL NINE

Since the alusion which we made, some
time since, to the Coal Mine in this town, we
have frequently been inquired of, respecting
it. We have delayed making any further
statements, in hopes that such experiments
would be made, as would enable US to give a
full description of its kind and qualities. As
yet, this has been but partially accomplished.
The bed is apparently of considerable depth
and of great extent, showing itself in various
places. At the place where it is now open; it
appears above the surface Of the earth, and
may be procured in vast quantities, at an ex-
penses almost nominal. 1t is of the species
called Anthracite, by mineralogists, and is the
same kind as the Liverpool glance coal, the
Rhode Island coal, and the Schuylkill and Lee
high coal. 1t is valuable in furnaces and for
ges, and for most manufacturing and domestic
purposes. We have burned some Of it, and
find it to ignite readily, and to produce great
heat. 1t has been burned with the Rhode
Island and with the Lehigh coal, and found to
ignite easier, and to burn longer, after taken
from the FIRE, than either of them, but the spec
linens which we have seen, we think, leave a
greater residuum than the Lchigh. As the
bed is excavated deeper, it will probably be
more pure. r.
This coal has been considerably used at the
Brewery in this town, and is found to answer
better than other coal for that purpose. !. y
