purchase at the mast head. and succeeded
cutting and raising blocks Of ice sufficient
to let her freely into the water. A change

sure, so that she laid nearly on her beam
ends, with her bow clear out of water
however, the hardy bark, withstood every
shock, aud we believe isnow, without
timber having been strained.
Few persons can form q conception Of
the desolate condition Of these adventu>
rers, at this period; bereft of human aid,
their provisions totally exhausted, and
their frames attenuated by previous exer-
tion, would it have been matter Of sur
prise, had they given way to despair p
But no! it was otherwise ordered; part
of their cargo consisted of corn. which
being ground in a coffee mill and though
destitute of salt or any thing to render it
savory, they made it into cakes, using
oates as fuel, and this alone. sustained ex-
istence for five longs weeks.
For amusement during this dreary cap
tivity. they had few books, but with
the true spirit of sailors, their chief con-
ISOLATION seemed 10 be derived from con-
trasting their situation with that of the
crew of the Commerce cast away on the
coast of Africa, Robins description Of
which they had on board. The crew
unanimously agree, that loss of food was
not more severely felt, than the want Of
tobacco.
The crew with the exception Of the
mate, were in good health on reaching
our harbor. and even he is now quite re"
stored.

WHICH IS BEST!

We have before us two propositions for
fixing things so as to get over all diff
culties. The first Is from the Gazette OF
Monday the last from 'eity worthy
named Fydget Fyxington. They are
equally feasible and equally reasonable:
tAn able writer, in the National Ga
sette. suggests, that if the governme ent
would resolve to place all FUTURE col
lections of revenue in the Pennsylvania
Bank of the United States, specie pay
ments could soon be restored, and uni
form currency AGAIN Established
Here is Mr.. Fyxington's plan:
Il can fix it. Let every body mind
their own business and support me, while
Iover.see 'em.' -Phtsburgh Mercury.

of entering into a colluson with the pet

know nctthe truth of the matter, but one
thing, we understand, is true, that the
Treasurer is a modern whig-of course
it is whig measure, and instead of being
a collusion with the pet-banks it is rumor-

LOG OF THE Ice SHIP.-The West
ern Trader of Willoughby, John McHar>
nv, master; Hugh Short, mate ; and John
Ramsdel, and Richard Souddick, hands ;
left this port for Detroit on the 18th of
December last, and became fixed in the
ice about Is miles from Detroit river on
the 18th of the same month. The schoon-
er drifted about the Lake, embedded in
the ice during the winter and spring, her
adventurous and persevering captain and
crew, Drawing every peril, and patiently
enduring every privation; until few
days since they succeeded in safely reach"
ing the barbor of Dunkirk. We copy
from the Beacon, the following account Of
the dangers and difficulties surmounted by
these hardy seamen:
We have been presented with the log
kept on board, but which we ind is with
out regularity, and extends but to part
of the time !; so that it is scarcely worthy
Of publication. We may however state,
that this adventure has been distinguished
by several thrilling incidents and startling
situations. We may instance, that being
confident of ultimate success, the crew
left the Vessel near Conneaut, in order to
procure provisions which place tbsy left
with back load each, having taken the
precaution to procure whip"saw, which
proved of great advantage, as on nearing
the vessel. they found from the change
in the wind, chasm Of FIVE rods in width;
this obstacle was surmounsed, by cutting
off large cake of ice upon which the
whole party floated over in safety.
Subsequently, the mate alone was plac-
ed in similar predicament. and had res
course to the same experiment, but with
out like success. A squall arising, Great
ed an open space Of two miles, over which
he had to pass on his slippery raft /;
the cutting wind blowing at the time,
obliging him to bind his wrists and ancles
with shreds of his clothes but notwith-
standing which, he was severely frost-bit-
ten, yet reached The schooner in safety.
The crew seem to have beer inGefati-
gable in their exertions,i as about the
