The SIGNAL GUN.-Amidst all the
terrible incidents upon the destruction
of the Arctic, which we have been re-
ceiving these two days past, there is one
that impresses us with feeling of awe
and admiration, and shows all the world
that the age of heroes is not yet alto
gether gone by. We refer to the young
man whose post of duty throughout all
that trying scene was the firing off
signal gun, at intervals, in the hope of
attracting the attention of vessels from
a distance to the scene Of Disaster
While all around him were death and
despair, in bold relief there he stood
(like Hope herself with the calm de-
termination Of true hero, discharging
gun after gun, until the gallant ship
went down beneath the waves. Here
was a courage and manliness-a de-
fiance Of death and an adhesion to du-
ty-we might walk over the most fa-
nous battle-felds in history to look for
and not End. The soldier who braves
the King of Terrors at the cannon's
mouth is animated BY species of cour-
age improvised for the occasion. by the
'pomp and circumstance around him.
There can be properly no towards when
men are drawn up in battle array, with
drums beating, colors flying, and
thoughts of reward and promotion fit
ting through the brain II victory is
won. Dastards dare anything then un-
der such sLimulants. But the bravery
Of the battlefield is not the bravery
which was shown by our young hero of
the wreck. The former is species OF
unnatural courage-it is Of an animal
nature; but the latter was moral cour-
age of the highest and noblest kind
With his lighted match he seemed to
stand, on the quarter deck Of that de-
voted ship, hurting defiance, as it were,
in the very Jaws of death itself.
Others we're desperately struggling
for life; he alone seemed to have resoly-
ed to demonstrate how man may die I
at his post of duty, without dread or
fear, in the midst of horrors that would
make most men towards. Awfully i'm
pressiYe, indeed-terribly melo-dra-
matic-Was the last scene of all, IN
which our young hero shone forth,
wringing ordinations of admiration
even from lips that were buffeting the
hungering waters, then murmuring for
their prey. Stewart Hollands [ for that
was his name) could not be induced to

and making rope fast around him.
when he was got on board safely. This
man saved proved to be Frenehman,
who was passenger on board the
steamer which We came in collision
with. ~
He informed the Captain that Others
were near on pieces of the wreck; and,
going aloft. he saw us and three others.
We were the first to which the boat was
sent, and safely taken on board about
three P. N. The next was Mr.. James
Smith, of Mississippi second class pas
senger, The others saved were five Of
our fremen. The ship proved to be
the Cambria. of this port, from Glas-
gov, bound to Montreal, Captain John
Russell, lrko commanded the bark Jesse
Stevens, and t0as rescued By Captain Nye
Of the Pacific. OF Capt. Russell it
would scarcely be possible to say enough
in his praise for the kind treatment We
every one Of US have received from him.
during the time we have been on board
his ship. His own comforts he gave up
in every respect for our relief The
Rev. Mr.. Walker and lady, and another
gentleman. who were passengers by the
Cambria, have been unceasing in their
endeavors to promote our comfort. To
them, and to all on board. we shall ever
owe debt of gratitude for their un-
bounded kindness to US. -
From the Frenchman who was picked
up. we learned that the steamer with
which We came in collision with was the
screw steamer Vesta, from St. Pierre,
bound for and belonging to Greenville,
France. As near as we could learn,
the Vesra was stearing east southeast,
and was crossing our course two points,
with all sails set, wind west by south.
Her anchor stock, about seven by four
inches square, was driven through the
bows of the Arctic, about eighteen
inches above the water line and an i'm
mense hole had been made, at the same
instant, by the fuke Of the anchor,
about two feet below the water line,
raking fore and aft Of the plank, and
finally breaking the chains, leaving the
stocks remaining in and through the
side of the Arctic, or it is not likely
that, as so much of her bows had been
crushed in, some of the heavy longitu-
dinal pieces of iron running through the
ship may have been driven through our
side, causing the loss of our ship, and /
fear, hundreds of most valuable lives.
l haYe safely arrived at Quebec, and
l am left without penny in the world
with which to help myself With sin
cere gratitude to those from whom !
have received such unbounded kindness
since have been providentially thrown
among them. am about to separate-to !
go to New York--a home of sorrow.
/ learned from the doctor, at quaran-
tine, last evening, that the Vesta had
reached st. Johns with several passen-
gers from the Arctic, but could not
learn the particulars. AS soon as l can
get on shore l shall make arrangements
to leave for New York with the least
possible delay.
1 take the steamer for Montreal this
afternoon.
l am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES c. LUCE.
