MARINE DISASTERS.
EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF SHIP
WRECKS.

THE G,Irs OP JANUARY FEBRUARY AND MARCH. H
The Atlantic gales of Jaouary, February and MMeh
have been very sweeping and terrific and almost unex-
ampled in their severity. According to the reports,
fom the middle of February down TO the present time
will be seen that the brief period mentioned has
been productive Of an extraordinary chapter of ship
wreck and attendant suffering the nature and extent
Of which can be truly estimated only by those who
know from experience what it is to be stranded and
da.bed among breakers, when the winds and waves
are cold and bitter beyond the conception OF lands
man; and when nothing can be touched which Is not
covered with ce TO be buried repeatedly by heavy
seas of such tremendous power that decks IRE cleared
Of ever, thing the waves take hold upon; when
timbers are twisted Of their places; SANCTIONS are
broken; planks loosened, and pumping for dear lie
becomes the sloepefs and often the hopeless duty Of
the sailor.
We append an outline of the mere striking disasters
Of the past three months involving the oss oil much
property and many valuable lives:
