Far an hour and = half did the offieefs and the

mission he would accompany the vessel to Boston
and denouuce the whole party to the British an
thorites there, that the Mormon slave drivers con-

interview with her husband -
The upshot of the matter was that the wife and
and youngest child were first of all handed into the

that she still positively declares that she win go 10

back with her great part of the money she took,
but not the whole. To show the state of agitation
in which the poor man was thrown, we may state
from the time when he discovered his loss to the
moment when he first caught sight of the vessel
bearing away his treasures, he refused to taste
morsel of food, and he repeatedly told Mr. Chipp
that if he did not recover his wife and BARNS he
should throw himself into the sea- The tact, firm.
