establishment from whence they were hired in a
loaded state; and when the charge came to be
fully folded up was inserted in the chamber or
breech of the pistol, between the powder and the

SKiLrUL SEAhANsHiP.-In the late gale at Prince
Edward Island twenty four fishing vessels were
at anchor in the harbor of Sours, which is exposed
to the full force of the sea, sweeping over a long
space OF unbroken ocean. So violent was the gale
and nearly all totally wrecked. The other one,
the schooner Atlas, OF this port was only saved by
the master. Thomas Bailey, jr., getting his vessel
under way during the gale, and beating out of the
harbor, under singled Teeed sails splitting all his
sails and losing the waistboards. While making
this successful effort to escape shipwreck, the vessel
was almost buried under water, the men working
on deck up to their middle in water. The attempt
to beat out Of this harbor in gale was never be-
fore made, and was viewed with establishment by
the jewellers on the shore. Such an example OF
skill and energy in rescuing vessel ia deserving
