Vessels which were nearing the nat00f at
once dropped their anchors, hauled IN all sill,
aud made the boats as secure IS possible un-
der the circUmstaEces. None dnred to under
take The difficult task Of entering tbs harbo1.
Among the number outside riding the storm
was tie schooner Mediator. Her captain and
crew lad been abstnt frum port i've weeks,
and were extremely anxious to get In. All
night the boat was carefully watched, and the
raging Of the storm closely scanned, as the
mad waves beat high and furiously over the
boat. After q long night OF anxiety the dawn
Of day came-the wiz dseemed to have lulled,
and the waves to run n1ower-perhaps the wish
was father to the thought. VIM. G. Grant.
first mate. spoke Of his anxiety to see his
faui]y, from whom he had been 50 long sepa-
rated, AID to quiet the natural anxiety his
vie must entertain tor his eafety, knowing
that his boa! had not reached the harbor. Hs
volunteered to 60 into port with the email
boat, and get tug to come out for the Med.-
ator, II two others won1d accompany
him. The captain told him the sea was too
rough, that he had better wait till the wind
died away. He said he had been through
worse water than that-and he wonld take the
1i.k. Accordingly bfr. Grant, accompanied
by two others Of the boats crew, were lower
ed into the small boat. The fate OF that trio
Of brave, though reckless men has already
been stated-one Of their number reached
shore By swimming, So much exhausted as to
be confined to his bed for several hours. The
bodies OF the other two were found yesterday
morning ut the foot Of Washington street,
firmly clinging to each other, as they were
drowned, each apparently determined to res.
cue the other from watery grave, OF that
they would sink, If sink they must, together.
The bodies were supported In the water BY
the buoy, opposite the foot Of Washington
street, whether they reached that point b.
fore their death, or had 1oated and caught
upon tho buoy afterwards, has not been de.
claed; the]atter is probable, else the bodies
would hare been seen By men upon the tugs
so frequently passing. TIE bodies were
brought In yesterday morning about9 o'clock
by the tug Foster.
