WONDERFUL ESCAPE.

A wonderful escape is narrated in a letter
from the master of the ship Surprise which
sailed from New York, October 9th fol
Shanghai. The captain writes:
At half-past twelve. midnight, of January
10, the second mate with his watch We're
aloft reeting the mizzen topsail when William
A. Joy, small boy belonging to Nantucket
tell from the weather quarter of the yard
overheard, just clearing the weather mizzen
channels but striking heavily on one of the
boat davits chains. I saw him fall, but did
not have the remotest idea that we could
save him, not only for the reason that the
night was very dark and stormy, with a
heavy sea running, but because | supposed
he was severely injured by his fall, and en-
numbered by his clothing, he would sink i'm
mediately. However. I called all hands,
shortened sail. wore ship round on the port
tack, and stood on for about fifteen minutes,
when some of the men forward thought they
heard cry. Shortly I wore ship again on
the starboard tack, as we were when he
went over board, and as the ship came up to
the wind we all heard him crying out on our
weather bows. Coming to, with everything
'aback, brought him right under the weather
quarter, when he was hauled in with bow
line thrown over to him, apparently uninjur-
ed. He was naked, having undressed HIM
self-oil-clothes and sea-boots, &c.-in the
water-no small feat of itself for a boy less
than fourteen, and small of his age. His left
arm was badly injured, but he had not felt it
in the water. | consider this one of the most
miraculous escapes from drowning l ever
heard of, not only that the youngster should
keep himself up for forty-dve minutes, but
that we should find him in such a dark night.

LOSS OF A CAMDEN VESSEL.
From the Boston Daily Advertiser, April 5tl

From the Boston Daily Advertiser, April 5th.
On Friday, the brig Fred. Bliss OF Camden
Maine, Captain Sherman, from Cadiz, with a
cargo of salt and wine, made her way into
the Bay, but the thick weather preventin Q
correct observations of her progress toward
the land, she got out Of her proper course
and finally went ashore at one o'clock yester.
day morning, near Long Rock, Swampscott.
She struck on a rocky shore, on the premises
of Mr.. c. w. Galloupe, and was thrown by
the sea SO far up on the land that at low
water she was high and dry. Captain Sher-
man, with his wife, who was passenger on
board, and all hands were safely landed
The sea was running very high at the time
and dashing the vessel upon the rocks, she
soon gave evidence of breaking up. Her
bottom was stove in, SO that her masts work
ed out. and the hull began to go to pieces.
The vessel will be total wreck About fifty
casks of wine were landed. hut the remain
der of the cargo will be lost. The salt was
consigned to Messrs. w. 3. Byrnes & Co.
OF this city, and the wine to Messrs. Bayley,
Rollins &Co. The cargo was insured abroad
A wreckmaster has taken charge of the prop
erty and efforts will be made to save what
ever can be secured from the wreck. If the
brig had struck two rods from the point
where she went ashore all hands would
probably have been lost, rs the shore in the
vicinity is bounded with high rocks, at the
base of which the water is twenty feet deep.
The place is remarkable as being the point
where the barque Tedesco was wrecked
twelve years ago, and every soul on board
lost. The Fred Bliss was an A l vessel OF
43S tons register was built at Camden, Me,
in 1866, and was owned by Capt. Sherman
and others, Messrs, James Bliss & Co, of
this city owned one-eighth, on which there
was no insurance. and it is said the Other
