Nothing Of further moment trinsPued up to her az
rival In port, except that she encountered Immense
feds Of ice all along the coast Capt Smith thinks
he saw q ship ashore about twenty miles to the eouN-
ward Of the Capes OF Delaware but he could not
make her out clearly.
When the black Warrior arrived in port she pre-
scnted sorry spectacle Covered with ice, her port
wi dollhouse washed of, her fore and main topmaSts
gone and the mzzen mast broken of close to the deck
Below all Of the forward eTjin completely gated
Tire saterooms and berths destroyed, and everything
that could feed the furnaces gone. The damage done
TO The vessel i, considerable and the insurance oce,
will he heavy losers. Capt. Smith deserves all praise
for his ndomitaLe energy and thorough seamanship;
and we learn that the passengers confidently re.ed
upon his skill during the storm, aud have since pub
cly rendered their thanks 10 him and his brave OIL
GERS and will take early opportunity to testify their
sppre citation IN Il more tangible manner
