THE LATE DISASTER.

the time Of the accident, was standing the gun,
in hazardous position, and although, we are happy
stare no, seriously wounded was so severely shock

Of losing his lie He was thrown down upon the deck,
and supposed himself severely, if not mort'iy injured
AT this critical moment, while gasping for returning
BREATH he exclaimed, broken voice to those around
him, "say t. Captain Stockton that this accident has
not impaired my confidence the glorious expert
of The Princeton, leessned my regard for her brave
and gallant commander"
Th's sentiment Of Col Benton, expressed in the sp-
