The Yatch GaEcIIs.

The CAPITAL yesterday gave all the
particulars attending the sinking of
the yacht Gazelle, leaving US moth
ing of interest to add to-day. The
Baltimore Sun, INDUCED in some very
timely reflections, which we think
should be read and remembered by all
who go on excursions.
The sinking of the steam Yacht
Gazelle, says the Sun, on Tuesday
night in the bay without the loss of
any of the excursion party of ladies
and gentlemen or of the crew, forty
four persons in all, was narrow es-
cape from.a very serious disaster.
That no lives were lost is manifest
ly due the usual coolness and
self-possession displayed by all
on board the little steamer-olficers,
crew and passengers. The compara-
lively small number of the party, of
course rendered it less difficult to
prevent a panic than would have
been the case with larger vessel
crowded with excursionists, but,
small as it'was, the result might and
would have probably been far differ
ent had any of the party given way
to fright or excitement AS it was,
all kept their heads level, and slight
ducking from the spray and the rain
and the loss of some personal effects
were all that came of q danger that
at one time threatened death to all
on board. The result carries with it
its own moral, and it is one that is
especially valuable just at the begin
ming of the excursion season. In the
vast majority of cases like this escape
from danger and disaster is sim
ply question of GOODNESS and pres
ence of mind.
