The announcement OF tho safe arrival

Will cause many exclamations Of sur
prise and wonder. "Aller this" twill
be said, 'it only requires to cross tho
ocean III wash tub, or bowl, a little
stronger than that which broke down
under the three wise men of Gotham"
That is one vicw--thc astonishing view
of the occurrence. But there is an
other view, moro commonplace and
sensible. The Nonpariel was a raft
built expressly to save lives at sea, If
she had fomdercd in mid-ocean, that
event would have proved that she is
not sufficiently good raft, for it is her
business to keep above water when
everything else would 90 to the bottom.
The Nonparc!l fulfilled her function, and
that is all there is about it. Had she
sunk, when she was made expressly to
lloat, with every contrlvancc to that
end, VIC ought to have been moro sur
prscd than VIC now arc that she cross
ed the ocean safely. Let no person
presume upon the strength Of her
achievement to go to sea in a cookie
