HoRRoRs OF A SHIPwREcK.-The preservation
of the life Of the sailor Fosdick, given in our
paper yesterday, was most wonderful. The fol-
lowing additional particulars were obtained from
young Fosdick by Capt. Quincy, the pilot, vino
brought up the brig Shawmut. Capt. Kimball, it
will be recolIeeted, rescued Fosdick from the
wreck. 1t appears from MS statement that he re-
manned 40 days on the wreck, with little or no
food little flour swashed up from the hold
which they collected, wet with salt water, and
dried in the sun and ate. ltwas known that there
was canister of salmon preserved in oil in the
cabin. Fosdick dove down several times and sue
ceeded in obtaining sig, on which they lived for
some time; after that nothing remained to support
life. OF the seven that remained, 1.-TWO being
drowned in the forecastle when the Naiad upset, J
it is remarkably that the most fleshy, and appa-
rcnty the strongest, died first. Every thing was
done by Fosdick to keep up the spirits OF his COM
paniens, but tkey failed after another, and as
soon as hope fled, they yielded and died. When
The weather was at all rough they were obliged 70
take to the foretop, and lash themselves, there to
remain till it became calm.
They had now all persisted but two-Fosdick
and companion, who were in the top, one dark
night, when it began to rain. Fosdick reached
over to where his companion lay, to rouse him 10
obtain few drops of water as it fell, but found
him dead. In the morning he cut him loose and
he fell into the sea. He then remained alone 6
days before he was taken off by Capt. himbaii.-
Great credit is due, and should be awarded to
Capt Kimball, for the medical skill he disria."ed
in saving his life for how mere skeleton, una
BILE to stand or even SPEAK. He took him ,,lrne-
diately to his cabin, put warm dry clothing rg'"n
him, fed him lnoderateywith warm rice wu.crand
Cruel, by which means he was gradually restored
TO consciousness. Had he given him solid food,
it would have been fatal. BY his great caution
and good management, he has saved fellow being
from most horrid deaih-that OF starvation.
On the arrival of the brig Capt. Quincy took
him to his own house, where he remained ill yes
terday. He is now in comfortable quarters at the
Seamans Home in North-square, where those IN
terested in his sad story zee him. He was CT.
,lrely destitute, when Capt. Quincy made his case
known in State-street, and in the insurance ii:e,
yesterday purse of $50 was in a few 'o'a''ses
.nade up for him. Fosdick is 90 years OF ase s"s
