IALEo Of IHE SEA.
Capsized in Ocean, Crashing
Into an Iceberg.
SIX DAYS AFLoAr WITHOUT FOOD oil
DRINK-UNDER THE SHADOW OF A
MOUNTAIN OF ICE.
We recently noticed the arrival o
the Austrian bark Rebus, in New
York, with six survivors of the wreck
ed Petrol, whom il took from hull
in mid-ocean, on November Sd, wher,
the waves were washing over them
The story of their adventures is NOR,
thrilling than fiction
On the 25tb of October the schooner
Petrel left New Bedford with mis-
cellaneous cargo for Bravo, Cape d,
Verde Islands. She was commanded
by Captain Fisher, part owner of The
vessel. As tho Captain was desiroui
of making the trip as cheaply as pos
sible, he took on board seventeen per
sons, who were to work as seamen fol
part payment of their passage. Among
them was Manuel Pena, with his five
year-old son, both natives OF the islands
and crazy man known as "Jule.
The rest of tho crew comprised first
and second mate and steward. 1t was
q very pleasant Saturday afternoon
when they cleared from New Bedford
harbor and smooth and speedy voy
age was predicted. All were in the
best Of spirits, little dreaming of the
terrible fate that awaited them. The
sailing was everything that could be
wished until Tuesday morning, when
breeze from the eastward ruflled the
surface of the water. The schooner
glided along at good pace, and, with
all sail set, seemed to enjoy the breeze
Instead of abatng. however the wind
increased and the waves became 80 vi
olent that fears were entertained fol
the safety Of the canvas. By noon il
