The statement published il th,

steamship Mexico, Captain Pittiield
when on her last trip, of the DFy

informed, partly raise themselves up
from the water, as in the attitude OF
striking, and dart out t,:eir tongues
wiskediJ at the waves. The greatest
'interest--as was natural--was Iani
tested Ivy those on board the Mexico.
Discipline was, for space, forgotten,
and captain, officers, passengers,
crew and ship hoys stood in common
on the sides looking on sight that,
so far as is shown by sea annals, has
never yet been witnessed by these
who have gone "dowa to the sea in
ships,' which-,aay, possibly, never
greet human eyes again. We can
think of no valid explanation on the
subject, unless it is-taking our own
inspiration from the .iay''--that the

on the approach Of his anniversary,
has been warder.sg in Alorida, aud
