For the Herald OF tho Times.

MIR. ATKINSON
Please insert the following, as
something due to Capt DUsTAN, which
is not generally known, and oblige
Two PASSENGERS, residents Of .Ne,c-
port, oho mcre on board the siedm-
boat Lexington, at The perilous
time referred 10.
AS the Queen Of Shoba once said, so
say we--"The one half was not told. "
On that fatal night, the l2th Of October,
1896, when the VIM. Gibbons was los,
when the top Of a steamboat blew off
crossing to Brooklyn, and reports were
in circulation that we were seen sinking,
when many trees in the North Battery
blew down--we were on board the Lex
ngton bound to New York. II was the
darkest night, and the gale was one ol
the most severe ever known in the Sound
tho rain poured in torrents, the sea
making complete sweep over us, and
we wcro satisfied from what we could
gather from her cool and intrepid com
mander, Vanderbilt that we were lost
While in the midst of our suspense and
CONSERVATION, when no lights were to
be seen,-hcaring from the ladies' the
dreadful cry that their cabin was filling
with water-seeing stoves filled with
live Goals turning over-ccilings and
planking working like basket-the
wheel ropes, our only hope, were twice
broken; and notwithstanding the seas
were running mountains high over the
stern of the boat, in her unmanageable
situation, Isaac X. DUsrAN, the then
chief mate of the Lexington, suffered
bimself to be lot down, twice, exposed
to the fury Of the waves, and finally
succeeded in fasteni ng the ropes to the
rudder, which was the means of saving
the vessel and all on board.
ISAAC X. DusTAN is now Captain OF
tho steamboat New Haven, and will
soon take the command Of that noble
boat, the Cleopatra, and after such a
bold and daring act, (Which the passen-
gers when informed of could hardly
credit what lady or gentleman would
