the dayit One of the blocks came in confact
with Mr.. Hardieis face, and as he was borns
to the stranger, the blood had SO discolorpd his
cheeks that he was the object of eeerybodv,s
eomnisseration. After disappearing and rsk
appearing times without number Mr. Hars6e
reached the vessel, and from the deciHsos1 sac
hungarian we could see The diHjea Leg Ind
dangers with which he had TO con tend. The
stranger was plungng and rolling about at
the mercy OF the waves and could hardly be
approached, but by watching an opportunity,
Mr.. Hardie succeeded in getting the boat near
enough to enable Mr.. Porter to get on board
A number of persons We're soon congregated
on the deck and the confusion which always
takes place on an occasion of the kind, present
ed itself on this one. Men, women and chill
dren were thrown into the life boat as an op-
portunity offered, and when all were on board
OF her, Mr.. Porter made a final search to see
that no one was forgotten. He then succeeded
in gaining his place, and our hearts gladdened
to see the living little reseuer surmounting the
bilows with her bow directed towards us
Tremendous seas Were rolling at this time. and
when Mr.. Hardie brought his charge along
side of the Hungarian, we felt sensible of the
danger be would encounter in discharging
her Fearless, as regarded himself, he guided
the helm and the crew, under the directlon of
Mr.. Porter kept the boat Off the Hungarian,
while those from the railing pulled up the pas
sengers by means of ropes tied around their
waists.
Immediately after all of the rescued were
safely on board of the Hungarian, and we be-
lieved there was little then to fear, a sea, too
strong for human force successfully to resist,
struck the boat and brought her torcibly
against the side of the ship, and Mr. Hardie
disappeared. He was thrown from his seat
into the sea- unable to swim, and without any
thing in his hand wherewith he could have
saved himself. Life preservers We're thrown
overheard which Hardie did not require. A
kind Providence did not forsake him in the
hour of need. While sinking beneath the ship,
he came in contact with a lire which accident
ally hung over the vessel, and seiZing hold of
it, he was enabled to bring himself to the sur
face of the water, thence to the deck A cheer
greeted him as he appeared above the gum
vale, but he was as calm and undisturbed as if
nothing had occurred. He rested merely for
moment. and then went forth to his duty
The rescued party Were taken from schooner

dor to Carbonier in Newfoundland.

accumulated during the summer months He
had a shipwrecked party on beard, which he
found on the coast of Labrador, and when on
his way thence to Newfoundland, storm
encountered him witch carried away all his
sails and drove him out into the sea.
