LONDON, August 2, 1878.
The Amercan boat Nautilus arrived
yesterday in Mounts Bay, an inlet ofthe
Atlantic ou the coast of Cornwall, two
promonlorles which terminate /, spec
lively in the Ltnd's En- and Lizard
Point. The crew, consisting OF two
brothers, William ald Waller Andre rs,
Of Boston, who left Beverly, u ass, June
II, landed in the village of Mulion,
G 1rn wall, appearing greatly taligued.
PERILoUs VOYAGE.
They give "a very interesting account
of their psrilous and ventureoas voy-
age. For few days after leaving the
American coast they experienced fair
weather, but this pleasant state of things
quickly changed, and fogs, wind and
rain prevailed for considerable eriod.
This was very trying, and they were sub
Jected to a grea deal OF hardship. Tneir
Dedcloth- got quite wet, aud for tour
weeks they hau to sleep in their wet
clothes.
CELEBRATING THE FOURTH.
ou Lnduy udJo buCy Couiu bdkC no
sleep whatever, and were worked 80
hard by reason OF the bad weather that
they could scarcely eat OF drink any
thing. On the Fourth of July they had
the luxury of bottle of lager beer,
which they had kept especially for that
day. For eighteen days they never saw
the sun and could take no observations.
UNpLEAsANr PROXIMITY TO WHALES
They passed many shoals of whales
and experienced some danger from them
They were often so close to the whales as
to be able to touch them, but hesitated
to do it through fear of having their lit
tie boat upset. They spoke several
steamers and sailing vessels and obtain
ed some observations.
| On July the seas ran mountain high
putting their little craft inimminent dan
ger and imposing on them the most siren
uous eXertlOns and the most sleeples'
vigilance. This continued for number
of days till the strain on their bodies anC
minds became very great, but they bore
up cheerfully and overcame every danger
| They underwent during a portion Of
the time some really terrible weather
and at one period were literally between
life and death. Their chronometer was
broken and rendered entirely useless, and
| they encountered tremendous difficulties
and dangers. July 26 was decidedly the
worst day of the voyage, the weather be-
ing very tempestuous.
During the whole of the voyage such
sleep as they were able to get was very
disturbed and was more like sort of con
tinuous stupor. This was, perhaps, the
most trying ordeal they had to go through
as they te the fatigues of the voyage
much more keenly through the want OF
rest. Neither of them had ever crossed
the Atlantic before. Sometimes they
had to lie to for many hours with the
drag out and throwing oil overheard. On
July ID they took the first observation
they had been able to make for eighteen
days.
When they made Scilly light they were
very much exhausted and hove to in Mul
lion Roadson Wednesday night. William
seem to feel the strain most. Walter looks
| better, but has bad hand, caused by so
much steering. The whole passage occu-
pied forty-five days.
The two brothers will leave for Havre
as soon as the weather permits, after hav
ing little necessary rest. They will
visit the Paris Exhibition before return
! ing to America.
