returned and still nothing heard about
them; they lost either in the cxpanse Of
the wide ocean, or buried within its Unsuitable
depths. Plymouth fisherman fishing early in
the morning saw something floating in the DIS
tancr he bore down to it, and discovered it TO
be boat, and in the bottom the six children,
all cuddled in like nest of birds, fast asleep,
God having mercfully granted them that solace
after day Of terror and despair. He took
them aboard, feasted them with bread and
cheese, and gladdened their despairing hearts
with promise to take them home. Between
three and four in the afternoon the fisherman
was IN the offing with the boat astern.-
All eyes were turned towards him; the best
spyglass in the town rubbed again, and at
last they fairly made out that it was the iden-
tical boat The news flew through the town,
the mothers came frantic to the beach, for there
were no children discovered in the boat noue
to be seen in sloop. intense was the agony of
suspense, and all alike shared it with the par

went round sthey are safe, and many stout
hearted men burst into tears, women shreked
with Joy, and became almost frantic with their
insuppor able happiness. 1t was indeed me-
mnrable day and prayer, eloquent for its
rough sincerity, was offered up to Almighty
Gnd, whose infinite mercy, had splred these
innocent children from the perils and errors of
the sea during that fearful night. Five of these
children were under five years of age; !; the SIKH
is but nine years old.
