iy, TO the westward We had the pleasure OF

The FerTVs complement Of seamen Is 81, all
told, and we have the captains word for it,
that they are study, spirited hardy and willing
10 meet danger in succoring the distressed and
unfortunate. To show something of the mis-
sion of the Perry, besides looking after the
revenue service, we may state, that while ly-
ing at Erie ON Sunday night last, a rumor was
circulated, that n vessel had foundered some
12 or 10 miles off that port. On Monday, this
relief cruiser was under. weigh In Esearch of
anything that might bear the suffering compa.

On getting into the Jake, the discovery was
made of a portion of the rail of a vessel of
some five or six hundred tons, which upon ex-
animation, bore sounding lead ard line,
which appeared not to have been exposed long
TO the action of the water. The log of the
Perry was referred TO for the course of the
wind for the previous 46 hours, from which to
gather the probable distance and time of some
collision which may have occasioned the sep
aration. L The conclusion was that the disaster
was not such as to have caused sinking. Two
days metbodical cruising Without any discov-
cry, put the Perry on her course for this port
1t will thus be seen that the Perry has a very
important mission to fill at this season OF the
year, particularly, in affording reief,to the
distressed, her staunch build and powerful ma
chincry enabling her TO withstand any storm
go into winter quarters before the middle of
next month, or until the lake shall have been
cleared of trading vessels
The severity of the weather on Thursday
morning was such that Capt OTTINGER, of
the Perry came TO the conclusion that the
public service might be equally well served by
laying still, and using telegraph connections
with the principal ports along shore to post
himselfas 10 the immediate needs of his pres
ence, and his departure was made scentingent
upon the information obtained. Il No more Wig
liant and intelligent public servant than Capt.
Ottinger, of the Perry, is 10 be met with in the
lake region.
That active and handy little craft-the tug
a. L. Griffin, Capt. Thompson, has returned to

management.
The schr. Yankee, Capt. BEEBE, of this port,
was, as briefly stated last week, overtaken with
disaster, in lake Huron. The telegram only
stated that she had been dismasted Further
than this could not be learned. Capt. Geo.
Ford, one OF the owners, started Friday morn
ing for Saginaw, TO look after her. since which
nothing has been heard about the extent of the
disaster. The first circumsantial account of
the affair received, is the following from the
Saginaw Ens,prssr of the s,h, copied into the
