Duisy, from Boston July 9th, of and for
Galveston, with general cargo, put
into this port Yesterday in distress
The Captain reports on July 18th
latitude $3.50, longitude "A, he encountered
a severe hurricane, during which the main
sail was carried away, sprung both masts,
had decks swept of everything movable,
and started the vessel leaking badly. In
her shattered condition It vac deemed
necessary to bear away for Savannah. July

from Galveston for Liverpool, and at their
request Captain Scotia, of the bark, kindly
bore away and kept company until the
weather moderated so the vessel could make
Tybee. Captain Duiay desires to express
his thanks aud gratitude to Captain Scotia
for his kindness, the disabled condition of
the Perry making it a very hazardous mat

A passenger by the City Of Augusta, on
her last trip from New YORK., tells the
following: Gas the steamer was comir up

O'Clock 4. m, she used the electric light,
as has been stated in these columns,
which was thrown from shore to shore TO
show the landmarks. AS she came near
the Savannah, Florida aud Western Rail-
way Wharves, the light was suddenly flashed
across the deck Of a schooner lying there,
and as suddenly withdrawn. This so star

the schooner's deck that, with terrific yell,
he jumped up, and shouted: "Whst in the
thunder are you going 60 fast fOrs You
will break Us ali % pieces against the

Yesterday, about half-past twelve O'Clock,

his improvised balloon off the dock into the
river. He was, as may be imagined, con-
siderably estonished and fiOundered around
lively. He was fished out by some sympa-
thetic spectators dripping wet. Beyond the

DR.. Benjamin Towards directions in re-
gard to the treatment of drowned persons
have just been published, under the title of
'Direct Method of Artificial Respiration"
They are of Importance at this season of the
year, ana emanate from an acknowledged
authority upon the subject through the
medium of a leading English medical jour
nal. 1t has been suggested that the au-
thorities at seaside resorts clip them out of
the paper, have them framed, and hang
them in some conspicuous place. They are
as follows;
l. Instantly turn patients face down.

arms under his forehead, so as to keep his
mouth off the ground press with all your
weight two or three times, for four or five
seconds each time, upon PATIENTS back, so
that the water is pressed out of lungs and
stomach and drains freely out of mouth !:
then: 2. Quickly turn patient face upwards,
with roll of clothing under back, just below
shoulder blades, and make the head hang.
back as low as possible place patients
hands above his head kneel with pa
TENTS hips between your knees, and
fix your elbows firmly against your
hips, now grasping lower part of
PATIENTS naked chest, squeeze his two
sides together, pressing gradually forward
with all your weight, for about three
seconds, until your mouth is nearly over
mouth of patient, then with a push, sud
denly Jerk yourself back; rest about three
seconds, then begin again, repeating these
bellows-blowing movements with perfect
regularity, so that foul air may be pressed
out and pure air be drawn into lungs, about
eight or ten times g minutes for at least
one hour, or until patient breathes natu-
rally.
Note-The above directions must he used
on the spot, the first instant the patient is
taken from the water; moments delay
and success may be hopeless. Prevent
crowding around patient; plenty of fresh air
is important. Be careful not to interrupt
the first short natural breaths; if they be
long apart, carefully continue between
them the bellows blowing movements as be-
fore. After breathing is regular, let patient
be rubbed dry, wrapped in warm blankets,
take hot spirits and water in small occa-
sional doses, and then be left to rest and
sleep.
