TRUE ROMANCE OF THE SEA.-The brig
Ahbie Clifford, from Pernamouco, has arrived
at New York, in command of the lady whose
name the vessel bears. There Is a bit of no =
nance, not without a sad aspect, connected with
this remarkable voyage. Shortly after the brig
left PCrnambuco the Captain and mate died Of
the fever, and Mrs. Clifford assumed her dead
husbands place, navigating the vessel all the
way from the equator 20 her destination. Mrs
Clifford belongs to St,ckton, Maine, and had
sailed in company with her husband on many
previous voyages, during which she took great
interest in the profession OF her husband, BY
whom she was taught the art of navigation. In
the present emergency the knowledge thus &C
est credit upon hersex, and presents an exampls
Of patience and fortitude which must win the
admiration Of men. Captain clifford, her late
husband, was about thirty i've years old, and
and skllful seamanship.
