have just read in your Weekly issue Of
the 9th Of the pcrifous voyage Of Henry
Smalls from Charleston to Bulbs Bay
during the recent cyclone in your city.
This incident wildly calls to mind a
similar pe!ilous voyage Of three white

while Col. Jenkins's 5th s. c. regiment
was stationed on Sullivan's Island. I
do not remember the date. but it was

distance and direction Of Fort Sumter
was discovered acapsized boat gradual
ly drifting to SEA. a startling sensa-

who were Watching the boat sayingjhat
a man was clinging to It, apd-+Dy Others
that there were moro 1han one, and |
think twas Col. Jenkins who, with his
bskd glass raised to his eyes, asserted
that there were three rcn %clinying to
the wreck. All was now excitement
and how to rescue them was the anxious
inquiry Of every one. The distance be-
tween these unfortunate men und the
land was widening a. fast us tide would
carry them. Night was coming on, and
what was to be done had u be done
quickly. | don't think that there was Il
sailor IN that tutire regiment If over
one thousand men, ut least none offered
his SersiceS as such. for the perilous un-
ld4rtakihg. P.rlons because, to Us, the
sea was running high and the only avail

were leaky or otherwise in bad cvnLi-
tinn. The best one, however, was Sc
lected and hailed out and. Corp'l Ed
Dean, Of the Spartan Rifles offered to be
one Of three to attempt the rescue. So
it was only n moment before two more
brave mcnof the same company were in
Tue boat Tor the noble %purpoSe.o Of trying
to save tho unfortunate victims Of tho
cApSizcd boat, which by this time was
we'll nigh out of sight but soon the
gallant rcscuers were we'll under way
and it was apparent to every on that
they Were fast gaining on the Inflated

our Comrades Were lost to sight and for
n while the state Of uncertainty and ter

every countrnanca. u death Stiffness per-
vadei every breast. Atlast they were
seen returning. and as they ncared the
shore they shouted to us that all were
saved. Then went up-a shont Of joyful
gladness, both for the safe return Of our
own men and the gallant rescue Of the
three men who had drspaircd of all
hope AMI Ut rvar seeing home and low
ed oh"sa again. These men were .itizsns
Of Charleston and werc that evening en-
|joying 6 sail. and when near CIstle
Pinckney were c~apsizedSty the sudden
