After it had become known that they had arrived several

Tho seventeen soldiers were taken to the United States
recruiting rooms, Merrimeck St. where their wants were

fellows have had very hard time Of it, and some OF them
came near succunbng to the fatigue and deprivation oil
food and sleep consequent upon the disaster AFTER sew
e DAYS Of severe labor board the san Francisco they
were transferred The bark Klby which, unfortunately,
was in poor condition to receive so large an accession 10
her numbers.
Having almost miIacuously escaped death in the trans
fer tho poor passengers in the hlDy ound themselves
huddd together heaps exposed to the lnclemency oil
tie weather; and though Captain Low did every
possible for their comfort their situation was wretched ia
he extreme The vessel e0ky and had hardly any

swallowed This state of things continued for thirteen
DAYS until as some expressed it, they had scarcely care
for their lives when hey spoke the ship Lucy Ihompson
who relieved the Knby of the larger part Of them Still
their troubles were not at end. Their vessel for want
of sails was hardly manageable and it was not until they
scoke the steamer City OF New York that their confidence

Gait Low has received the congratulations OF many
merchants ard others since his arrival lie has had
long rough and perious voyage irrespective oil ms event
hl connection with the San francisco. Neither personal
suiierugs the crippled condition OF his own vessel
however prevented him from extending ready ana chee
ful hand OF help others. He promptly dsresarded all
personal considerations and pered his life even at the
cry of distress which fortunately reached his ears from the
san EToncisco and by almost uperhuman exertions sue
ceeded In rescung than hunie Of the passengers
OF that III ted snip Nor did his benevolent efforts cease
here.
Though blown of during the night after ne had re-
ceyed these passengers board he continued Tor two
DAYS in search Of the sinking steamer that he might IN
crease his precious cargo till circumstances beyond hu
man control compelled him TO abandon his generous pur
pose. Notwithstanding all the hardships when ne ana

are all in good health
