A THRILLING INCIDENT At SEA.

The following extract gives an account of
the saving of the crew of the Scotch bark,
Jessee Stevens, by the steamer Pacific:
One morning, while lying wrapped up in
blankets, overcoats, &c., on the sofa, the
wind and sleet and snow roaring round the
heaving ship, one of the passengers came
down and reported that wreck had been
seen in the midst of the storm, and men
clinging to it, and calling out, "Save us
Save us!' Though so nearly stupefed as
to care for nothing, even if we had been the
wrecked ones ourselves, and hardly believing
at first it could be so, reused myself; and,
sure enough, all my stupid and selfish feel
ings, all nausea and headache, and all mur-
muring spirit in view Of our own condition,
were instantly dissipated, and gave place to
the heartiest sympathy and earnest prayers
for sixteen poor fellows in shattered bark,
with sails torn and streaming in the wind,
masts all wrenched off and swept away, and
the water rushing through the sides of the
vessel, as she rose now and then on high
wave, the sea rolling over her, perfect
food, every minute.
Our ship had stopped her engines, and
was lowering about; coming near enough
in the brief intervals of the storm for Cap
tain Nye to speak through his trumpet
word of encouragement. The Captain had
been sick with a violent cold and inAama-
ton of the lungs, (the first time, think,
since he became Captain,) but this had
called him from his bed, and, dressed in
his great tarpoulin coat, with his hat drawn
down over his ears, sailor holding him
from falling, as he stood on the steep deck,
the ship tumbling almost over on it's sides
at every roll, his fine face flushed with ex-
citement. as the wind and sleet dashed into
it, and against him, as if they would take
him off his feet; his trumpet in his hand,
and raising above the war Of the storm his
voice of command to engineers, sailors, &c.
to 60 on or to stop, or go to the other side
of the wreck, trying to keep near it, and
avoid dashing against it, to the certain ruin
of ALL
All this lasted for an hour or more, while
we passengers on the upper deck, holding
on to ropes to keep from being dashed over
board, and watching the poor fellows, when
the mists, and clouds, and spray gave us
opportunity to see them climbing the
waves in their shattered bark, all looking
anxiously towards US and waving hats and
hands. The rolling of the sea, some move
ments Oh the deck, and something [ heard
the Captain say, made me fear it was
hopeless case, and we should have to 60
and leave them, when all at once gieam
of light broke from above, and splendid

rainbow appeared on a DARK ground of
clouds behind US. 1t seemed, indeed. q
heaven-sent sign of hope and promise, and
[ eagerly scanned the upturned faces of the
wretched crew, to see if they did not hail
1t as such, but 1 since learn they interpre.
ted it according the sailors adage:
ga rainbow in the morning
Is the sailors warning;
A rainbow at night
Is the sailors delight"
While supposed the bow of promise was
| filling their hearts, as it was mine, the CAP
| tain seized the moment of a lull i'm the storm
to say to Tompkins, his third officer bless
ed be the noble-hearted fellow:)
care you willing to risk going in the
life-boat to their rescue?"
"Ready and willing" was the prompt
reply; and soon the beautiful boat. with
Tompkins and three sailors, was bounding
over the foaming waves.
They had line soon drawn from ship to
bark, passing through the Ife-boat The
brave little company were soon under the
stern of the wreck, receiving with open
arms, as they were dropped or thrown
down, (for some were SO stupe6ed with wet
and cold that they had to be thrown into
the boat,) the sailors of the Jesse Stevens.
The waves ran so high that it was unsafe
to lie near the wreck, so the boat was
hauled up by rope at intervals, near
enough for them to drop in one or two men
then they would slacken the rope and let
the boat recede before the returning wave
should come and dash them together; then
they would return, in like manner, for one
or two more; and finally all were safe in
the boat, and we only hoped they would get
it back to the ship with its freight of saved
lives. Proudly again it bounded over the
billows with it's heavy load, as if it had
been a swan or a sea-bird and though
several times, when it went out of sight in
the trough Of the sea, we trembled lest we
had seen it for the last time, it still mount
ed the top of the next wave and dashed
down the watery hillside towards us, again
to rise and descend till they reached our
ships side, when a hundred men, with
boisterous shouts, and ropes let down with
nooses at the ends, soon hauled up every
man of them.
And so sixteen nice, respectable Scotch
xen, from Augustine, on their way home
from Canada with load of lumber. are
fellow passengers with us, with thankful
hearts only and no lumber, and will reach
home before they are looked for, to tell of
their marvellous escape.
Since this incident, certainly the most
heart-thrilling and sublime it has been my
lot to witness; and well worth, we all say,
all the sufferings Of the voyage, we have all
been in better spirits, and have slept, |
imagine, with more grateful and happy
dreams. We had meeting Of the pas
sengers, and raised five hundred dollars
as purse for Tompkins and the three men
who aided him. Tompkins looks very
happy as he walks the deck, and is great
favorite with us all.

SNOW IN GOTHAM.


In Gotham, tho no more it rained,
Full ancle deep the slush remained,
And all our pants with mud eRgrained
Flapped round the instep heavily.
But Gotham saw another sight,
When the snow fell at dead Of night,
Enrolling no selessly in white
The squalor of her sceneryl
For soon the wind began to blow,
And drifting fell the virgin snow,
Till, white as Greeley's coat, the row
Of streets diverging mazily.
By dextrous Blacks and Grooms arrayed,
Was harnessed every equine jade,
While bells a merry music made,
And sledges slipped on silently
Then wheels rolled off from every buss,
Then rose to heaven the cry and .'euss,"
While Bowery boys enjoyed the muss
In Broadway raging fearfully.
Then shook the street with sledges riven,
Then rushed the eight in tandem driven,
While faster than the bolts of heaven
Flashed the SNOWFALL artillery!
Full many bonnet pink and blue,
Full many nose of ditto hue,
Changed color as the missiles flew
And hit them-oh SO stinginglv!
But pleasure dies VIII en- keenest felt,
And snow, when most enjoyed, will melt,
And they who ride, and they who pelt,
Beneath the drift lie peacefully!
