The hours now were such as we wish nev-
er to pass again, for there were croakers even
there, and the expressions showed the feelings
of each heart. Some said, "the Captain has
had to leave her, (the schooner,) and has
blown her up" Nov the troops will land
and we are gone.' "What will we do now?"
81 am going to get out of this" etc. etc,
while trusty few scanned the horizon to
see ifany boat approached. No boat came.
Thank God, no boat came. They did not
have to abandon her, and our spirits again
revived as the hours passed while we watch
ed straining our eyes in our futile attempts
to look beyond the range of vision. Twelve
o'clock passed-one, two, three, and dream
ing that we were still watching for our friends
we all slept, bat in that dream, when the
terrific explosion was again heard, and
we awoke, and nothing was seen but sleepy
sea, hung with gray mist, through which
day had not yet penetrated. At last, for even
such hours must have an end, the mist seemed
to gather round the outlines of an object
in the distance. 1t assumed the appearance
of vessel, while every heart was aching to
make it out Some said it was imagination;
some said that it was a phantom; but just
then the sun of Nicaragua rose, and the out
lines of schooner were visible. Excuse us,
if we dwell here for some moments No
one spoke. No one seemed willing to break
vet, the sacredneSS Of that moment. The
