perfect freedom from the sun, wind and

liy? She also fastened her dish cloth to

though she was the greatest lady in the

because he encouraged and helped her to
cultivate beauty in herself, her family

Forty.nine Days in an Open Boat.

Capt. Grape and his wife, who arrived
at Penzance on July %, from New Bed
!ord, in the smallest boat that eyer cross
ed the Atlantic, had a most tedious and
perilous voyage Of forty-nine days. The
drogue which they took with them was
found to be Of little use, because it was
too light. Whileofthe banks they saw a
key floating, which luckily they were
able to secure. Capt, Grape knocked off
the iron hoops, and with some canvass
made 4 new drogue, which answered adj.
mirably. During the voyage the rudder
broke, but happily there was a spare oar
on board, which wa used until the first
could be repaired, The seas were run
ming mountains high, and during all
that time, even when lying down to rest,
they had to lie on wet clothes, everything
being wet on board On one occasion
the captain was for seventy hours steer
ing without relief, the weather being 70
~frighttul and on another he was eigh-
teen hours cOnseCutively attending to the
drogue, Capt. Grape says he could not
have stood another fifteen days; indeed.
he had not slept for seventy hours when
he landed. His average of sleep while
going across was under four hours a day.
Among the many extraordinary things
connected with the voyage is the fact
that it had to be run by dead reckoning,
as the craft was not equal to a ~chronome-
ter. An indignant "Briton' writes to
n of the London newspapers that it the
captains wife, who during the last three
days OF the voyage was 80 i'll a. to be
unable to render any assistance, had died
in British waters Mr., Grape would have
been morally guilty of m%anslauehter.
lie trusts that Grape will not be made
much eff in England after having ex.
posed a woman to such thoughtless hard.
