LONG PAssAGE.-The Dutch brig Louise and
Maria left Cienfuegos for this port ON the eth
of February, and made Cape Elizabeth light
on the night of the 4th of March. The cap
tain, never before having been to this port, and
knowing nothing of the entrance to our harbor,
hove to and waited for daylight. During the
night North Wester sprang up and drove
him off. He made S. w. course as near as
possible The vessel was covered with ice, hull
and lower rigging, and only the captain, mate
and one man were able to perform duty. The
yards could not be braced and all they could do
After the gale had subsidized he was, according
to his reckoning, 4S0 miles outside of land in
Lat. 1872, Lon 63.13. .r.f + ftl
On the 10th, he took heavy sea which stove
the boat ON deck and carried off the mate who
was leaning against it. No effort could be
made to save him. The vessel was then on her
way to this port, where she arrived Yesterday,
after passage of 40 days. The crew were all
frost!bitten and the captain had the outer MEM
brane of his eyes frozen. His wife, who was
on board with him suffered intensely from the
cold, and they all presented a pitiable appear
ance on their arrival here They had plenty of
provisions and the water held out just long
enough for them to arrive in port.
Capt DeWyn says he never before, in his 26
years of sea life, experienced such severe wealth
er. The name of the mate who was lost is
Ran.
