PoaT GIBSON, Miss, april 20, 1865.
II left New York on Saturday, October 81 st,
by the steamship Victor bound for New
Orleans On the following Monday the storm
and hurricane Commenced; that night we
shipped sea, which washed overheard ev-
erything lore and ait, carrying away sails, spars,
rigging, and one Of the masts. Our machinery
gave way and we were entirely at the mercy of
the winds and waves till Friday, at clock,
T. NJ, when the steamship alabama, from
New Orleans and for New Y rk, came to our
rescue, in the latitude OF Charleston or SaVan-
nah. We were taken off by her, and carried
back TO New 7orlk. and our steamer, which had
very valuable cargo, worth not less than half
a million Of dollars, was towed into Hampton
Roads The wave We shipped on Monday
night stove in the stern doors Of the cabin and
deluged many Of the passengers in their state
rooms Capt. Gates, who had been s. years
at sea- and 81 of them master OF vessel, said
he had never been before in so long and violent
a storm-and so said some of the oldest sailors.
We were in an entirely helpless condition, roll
ing about, and pitching like a log, in the sea,
and drifting to the North towards the
outer side of the Gulf Stream, beyond the usu-
al course of vessels plying between New York
and New Orleans, Aspinwall, HAVANA, &c
And otter the machinery broke, all hands were
required at the purlps to keep the vessel afoat.
But periIous as our condition. was, I was gerer
aIjg calm, and at times forgot all far ard dan
ger, aud really enjoyed he sublime ara mag
niiceut scene never befcre realized the fGil
force and meaning Of ''mountain waves and
