truding from their sockets, their mouths wide

and the passengers, IL a panic, fed to the deck
gathering forward whsre the wind gave a
breathing place. Attempts failed to throw over
board the noxious cargo, which had caused the
trouble by the shifting and breaking open Of
some Of the barrels, the contents Of which
uniting with the water shipped in gale, devel-
oped the poisonous gases; and the Efforts TO lower

put about and returned to Queenstown, under
