Affecting Incident.

We are indebted to Mr.. L., re-
Gently returned from whaling voyage,
for the following touching narrative:
On the home voyage of one Of our
Liverpool packets, she being crowded
with emigrants, that awful scourge, tho
ship fever, broke out The carpenter
of the vessel, ono Of natnro's noblemen,
and having on board his little son,
lad of some twelve summers, was one
of the first victims. His shipmates
sadly enclosed bis body in his hammock,
and having read over him the burial
service, and attached to his feet grind
stone for the purpose of sinking him.
committed it to the embrace of old ocean.
The poor boy, overcome with grief at
the loss of his natural protector, sprang
overheard, and before he could be res
cued, was beyond the reach Of human
aid.
On the day following the burial, a
large shark was noticed in the wake of
the ship; and as it was almost calm, the
sailors asked permission to catch it,
which was readily granted by the cap
tain. Having procured hook and at
tached chain and line, and baited it
with pork, they cast it overheard, and
soon had the exciting pleasure of hook
ing the monster, and with the aid of
the wihdlass, hauled the writhing mass
on board As it lay on the deck in its
death struggles, the sailors heard a sin
gular rulnbling noise, that seemed to
proceed from within the writing captive.
Taking a ship-axe, they soon cut their
way into the now dead fish, and to their
great surprise, found that it had swal-
lowed the carpenter, grindstonc. and
boy, and that the former (who had only
swooned) had rugged up the grindstone.
and with tho assistance Of the boy to
turn it, was just grinding his jack-knifo
to cut his way out
