INTERESTING INrELI.IoENcE.-Sr HELENA, March
Is, lSi5.-On Wednesday last, the Charles Henry,
of ". London Samuel Jefies master arrived at this
port, having on board four who had been away
the Coast Of New Holland On the 2Sth Of juno last
q on q ~ as o Ss lost in
crew lost every thing but what they stood there be-
ing no inhabitants within 200 miles of the place where
they were wrecked After suffering incredible hard
ships, Captain Gibson with fifteen Of his men, arrived at
Geography Bay the 29h July, having travelled up.
having died for want Of food and water. Here they
found Captain Jefres whaling with his ship, who
most charitable manner On the 9th of August last the
Halcyon, of N London, Captain Galley then laying in
Geography Lay, ported both her chains and was lost
leaving her entirely destitute Of the common ne
cessares Of life. Captain Jeries Immediately told the
crew of the unfortunate vessels not to dcspond be of
good cheer that although they to forty in num-
bcr he would not leave a man behind-that he would
abandon his voyage his pecunary interests as well

were plenty, and he might have filed his vessel he gave
up the voyage and forthwith commenced preparations to
make the shipwrecked mariners comfortable. His first
step was to send his carpenter shore and erect

ship afforded. This having been accomplished he next
proceeded to put his ship in readiness receive large
number Of passengers, fitting up accommodations for
them, Sc The large supply of water which it was ne.

being oil completed, Captain Jeiirics received the
on hoard and sailed for the Isle Of France where he
rived in safety leaving the men, with the exception Of
the four above alluded to- He then applied to the Amcri

could obtain 10 satisfaction whatever nor would he
take any charge of the poor sufferers but shipped them
on on board English vessels instead of providing for
them until opportunity occurred to send them to the
land of their nativity. Such conduct towards American
citizens in foreign land from him who should he their
countrys representative is deserving the strongest cen

This generous act in relieving his countrymen has
blasted the prospects Of his voyage in pecuniary view,
but the deed Il registered In heaven; and approving
conscience will lie his reward though man should with
sold il.
