A correspondent Of the London papers, Who va
on board the steam boat Comet, when She sunk, or
her passage from Inverness TO Glasgow, and was
fortunate enough to himself, quotes the follow
ing descriptive and spirited lines from Lord Byron !,
Don Juan, as being strkngh opposite to The fear,
tu catastrophe,
Then rose fom sea to SKY the Wild farewell,
Then shrick'd the tmid, and stood Still the brave
Then some leap'd overheard with dreadful yen,
As eager to anticipate their grave
And the sea y2wn'd around her like q he'll,
And down She suck'l with her the whirling wave
Like one vino grapples with his enemy,
And strives to stranglc him before he die.
And first one universal shrek there rlshd,
Louder than the ocean, like crash
OF cchong thunder; and then all was hush'd,
Save the wild shrek and the remorscless de &
of billows but at intervals there gushed,
Accompanied with a convulsive splash,
solitary shrek, the bubbling cry
of some strong swimmer in his agony
