this country is the rigid enforcement
of the laws. Every man who vio-
lates the peace and dignity of q com

should be speedily and adequately
punished. Whenever it becomes a
settled understanding that men can

in the State. Let us have no favor

our heads above water by clingins
to floating chests. Calling to each
other, we found there We're six alive,
FIVE men and one boy. One man
died a little while after; the boy
died next morning. -Four were vet
alive. We clung to the sail tier,
with the water up to our chins. By
prying off the lid of floating chest,
We found small bottle OF sweet
wine and eight apples, and each one
of US took drink of wine The cook
was dying; he begged for more wine;
we gave him another swallow, and a
little after he died. We pushed the
body down under, water, as we
wanted space. There was only
about eighteen inches or two feet Of
space between the water and the
side, and floating chests and stuff
jammed our heads and bruised our
bodies dreadfully. We had fresh
air enough through broken deck
light which occasionally rose above
water. Believing we must die if we
remained in this horrible place, We
decided to try and find scuttle and
reach deck. Manuel tried first, and
on the second attempt succeeded in
reaching the open air. This was
Sunday. I tried twice and was al
most. drowned before 1 could get
back again. I had a hard struggle;
got my head through the floating
boxes. I didn't try it again that
day; but next day l made another
attempt, and after a desperate strug-
gle got out and found Manuel cling
ing to the upper side of the vessel.
A dead man was lashed to the rig
ging. I cut him adrift, as ne made
me feel bad. Manuel said he saw
steamer about eight miles off the
day before. WepuIled some pieces
of canvas up to where we were
clinging and wrapped ourselves in
it. We called to Henriques, who
was still in the forecastle, to come
out, but the poor fellow couldn't
swim, and wouldn't try. We tried
to cut through the plank with a
knife, but could only dig the oakum
out of the seams, the plank was SO
hard. We kept a good lookout for
vessels, and only dropped asleep a
little while before we were rescued.
I believe all the rest of the crew
were lost when the bark capsized,
as it was so sudden and the wind
and sea too much for q boat to live,
even if one could be got out. We
had been on the vessel so short
time that we were not acquainted
with the names of the officers and
but few of the crew.

A Romance of the Sea.
RESCUE FROM A FLOATING wREck-A
THRILLING NARRATIVE.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The pilot
boat Isaac Webb, on Tuesday morn
ing last, when forty miles off Block
Island, passed close by a floating
wreck barely showing above the
surface of the water; no signs of
life were visible; but the yawl was
got out and pulled close to the bow
of the vessel, and by the light of the
moon it could be seen that it was a
bark lying completely ON her beam
ends, with but small portion of
her port side above water. A man
sprang from the yawl on to the
wreck and trod upon what he sup
posed to be pile of wreck stuff and
canvas. but to his nstonishment
and fright, the mass rose up with
cry of alarm. In the moonlight it
appeared SO much like an apparition
that the crew of the yawl were for Il
moment scared completely out of
their wits. Recovering themselves,
they looked again and saw two hu-
man beings wrapped in canvas and
reaching out their hands for help.
The poor fellows, when they real
lied delivance was at hand, pointed
to the side of the vessel beneath
their feet, and said in broken Eng
lish, "oue man inside" The pilot
men put their ears to the spot indi-
Gated and heard the voice of a hu-
man being calling in heartrending
tones for help.
After two hours of incessant toll
the sailors succeeded in making a
hole through which they could speak
to the poor fellow within, who cried
out that water was rising and almost
strangling him. Redoubling their
exertions they finally made hole
large enough to permit the passage
of a man, and drew from the dark
ness below the swollen and almost
lifeless body of Henriques Gancavis.
When asked if any others of the
crew still survived, he answered,
"No; the boys are all dead"
The survivors are named Joseph
Refs, Manuel Avis and Henrique
Gancavis, all of Cape Verd Islands,
who shipped on the 18th inst, ON
the bark Sarah, of New Bedford, for
a whaling voyage of two years.
The crew numbered twenty-five men
all told. The following is the story
of the wreck, as related by one OF
the survivors:
We left New Bedford on Saturday,
the weather at the time looking very
stormy, the wind coming constantly
upon us from the northeast, blow
ing a stiff breeze, which increased
to gale. We commenced to take
in sail and reef. At half-past 5
we hove to on our port tack, wind
blowing hurricane and friahtful
sea running. Two hours later a
tremendous sea struck the bark and
capsized her on her beaLl ends.
There were seven OF Us Ill the fore
castle at the time. The sea rushed
in and filed the forecastle, cutting
off escape to the deck. We strug-
gled for life and managed to keep
