A HORRIBLE STORY /!
An Insensibie Negro Picked
up at Sea!
HIS RECOVERY AND HIS HORRIBLE
TALE OF sHIPwRECK AND
DEATH

New YORK, Nov. 12.-The brig Cen
taur arrived from Greytown yesterday.
On the I'd of Oct. she picked up Spanish
negro in boat belonging to the bark Tor
onto, of Glasgow, wrecked near Navasso,
but when. and under what circumstances
could not be learned from the negro. The
crew abandoned the brig in the same boat
and all perished except this negro. He was
insensble whcr found
New YORK, Nov. IA reporter has
had talk with the rescued seaman from
which it appears that soon after leaving
Navassa furious storm arose and at ! |
at night the foIemast broke off close to
the deck, They cut away the mast and

leaving only the mizzen mast. TIE
tempest was very violent, yet the captain
was below, sleeping, and the. first mate
was lying on deck, disabled, and was dis
covered. The captain was then called,
under whose orders all hands took to the
long boat. 1t was, however, im nediately
almost filled with water and some of the
men were washed into the sea. Some of
them c!ung to oars but were soon washed
away and the violence of the waves speed
lily carried the boat away from them and
the vessel
There were now seven men in the boat,
with no provisions. For days they drifted
without food but securing u little water
from occasional rains. From Maxima's $
account it seems clear that the men lost
their reason He describes them as walk
ing about looking at the sea. and sky; some
leaped into the sea; some lay on their
backs with their parched mouths open and
so died; others lay against the boats side
and dropped until they died, speaking not
a word to their companions. One by one
they all went, throwing themselves or being
thrown into the sea. AT length he alone
was left. He ate sea weed to sustain life.
He caught sea bird. occasionally, and
sometimes fish. When found he was
drifting along helplessly; was reclining
against the side, his head dropping over
his bosom. He could not move. The
boat Of the Toronto, on board the Centaur,
shows where it has been scraped by the
men for the purpose of eating the dirt that
clung to its sides.

| Her eyes met mine: swiftly the curtain falls;
All, me! the messengers have crossed the
halls. :.
And with white feet, go wandering through
my soul.
Printing sweet pictures On its waiting scroll.
| Absent from her, the most git rious day
Seems dark with clouds. and pHlseless drags
away;
| BY her side, the very cloud look bright
| And all earth gladdens in loves perfect light.
