unable 20 help the MargaIx on account
Of the high seas, and her own rudder

vessels however gave all possible encour-
ayement, and attempted to render assist
anoe. The steamer Oregon. on the 18th,
took off 3 cabin and A. steerage psssen-
gers. who returned to England. On the
evening Of the 18th, another heavy
Northwestern raised the waves to noun
famous hight, rolled and pitched the
vessel. and threatened to swamp her.

their stands. and it seemed certain that
they would break loose. On Saturday
last, when about 25O miles from Halifax,
the steamer Caledonia, after some de-
muir, took her in tow and brought her
safely to port. The Margaux is a mag
nificently equipped boat. and is intend
