An AWFUL ScExE.-A respectable gentle
man, living near Dagsborough, in Sussex county,
inform US, that on the 18th and 18th days of the
present month (December), the people in the vi
cinity of the sea coast experienced the greatest
gale of wind and the highest tide ever known
there by the oldest inhabitants. The water rose
eight or nine feet above common high tides, and
in manv places swept every thing before 1t. Ma
nv families lost all their swine, sheep, cattle,
corn, and household furniture-bareiy beng able
to escape with their lives.
One family, living near the ocean, consisting
of Nr. Thomas Drury, widowed daughter, Mrs.
Massey and her child, and brother, MIR. Noah
Drurv. who was then on visit, were all swept
away and all drowtfed except the last, who has
escaped to tell the mournful tale. They were
all driven in the night, by the tide, into the high
est story, of their dwelling, which soon after
drifted from its foundation. For time it sailed
we'll, but soon struck something, which carried
away the lower part. The upper portion then
settled considerably deeper in the water, and
Noah got upon the roof, through the chimney
hole. His brother from within asked ii he could
see land. but none was visible. The child was
handed to him, and for time preserved in bed
quilt In vain>he endeavored to assist his bro
ther Thomas and Mrs. Massey. The chill winds
and cold waves passed over them until their
souls fled away; and they answered the enqur-
er after them from the roof no more.
Noah, the child. and dog, continued on the
roof until the floating house made land. AT this
time, the child, Of three years of age, expired in
his arms. He slipped of the roof into the water
with the little corpse, and attempted to wade to
shore, but soon was obliged to resign it to the
waves; and next was compelled from exhaustion
to crawl along the beach on his hands and knees.
Iii this perishing condition the last survivor be-
can to halloo with all his might for help; at his
cries. the dog instinctivey set up p,teous yell;
antftogether they alarmed some people in neigh
boring house, who Immediately came to his as
slstance. When found, he was all under water
except his head; and consciousness had become
suspended. In few minutes more, doubtless,
he would have followed his departed friends to
the world of spirits.
The body of the child and that of Mr.. Tho
mas Drury, who, for security, but in vain, had
tied himself to the house, have been found.-
The corpse of Mrs. Massey yet remains in the
ocean, or on some unknown part of the icebound
coast.

was despatched from the frigate, to ascer-
tain the cause of the appearance of the tri-
colored flag. The boarding officer was in
