Rescued.
LONDON, Sept. 8.-Captain Goldsmith
and wife, the crew of the miniature boat
Uncle Sam, from Boston for Europe,
have arrived at Liverpool in a vessel
which picked them up. 1t seems that
Mrs. Goldsmith at commencement of the
voyage suffered sea-sickness. Her i'll
ness after few days assumed serious
form, threatening Inflammation of the
bowels. The constant wakefulness OF
Captain Goldsmith was thus made neces-
sary. On the 10th of August, when off
New Foundland, a tremendous gale was
encountered aAd sail was shortened. It
was feared the boat would swamp or cap
size and Captain Goldsmith stood, knife
in hand, ready to cut away halliards. In
consequence of the boat shipping heavy
seas Captain Goldsmith finally lay to
with two drags over the bows and tried
to take some rest A tremendous sea al
most filled the place where he was rest
ing and his wife was sitting in water up
to her shoulders. After bailing out the
water it was found that the drags and two
oars had been carried away and all pro-
visions except canned meats destroyed.
Mrs. Goldsmith growing rapidly worse,
her husband on the night of the 10th of
August began to consider the desirable
ity of returning to New Foundland.
