Rode Out the storm.
NEW York, Sept. 14-The steamship Ye-
massee, Of the Clyde line, brings with it one
OF the most thrilling tales of rescue to which
she storm has given birth. Capt. Mckee,
her commander, had on board eighteen ship
wrecked people, the crew of the bark Al
syloa who, but for their rescue by the
Yenassee, would probably have carried with
them to a watery grave the secret Of an
awful experience. On Sunday morning the
storm broke upon the Atsyloa in all its fury
The sails were ripped from the masts, the
deck fixtures were washed overheard and
there were four feet Of water in the hold.
The crew were put to work at the pumps, but
their exertions proved Of little avail.
Capt. Bulls Nine Lives.
The captain succeeded in running the yes
sci 10 within a couple Of miles Of the Five
Fathom lightship off the Delaware break
water. where, after a hard struggle he
anchored her BY this time the water was
up 10 the deck and all the furniture was
foating in the cabin The salt water, too,
had destroyed most Of the provisions.
Eventually the vessel commenced TO settle,
END, deening further effort vain, the captain
determined to abandon the vessel and take 70
the boats. The two lifeboats were launched
and the only food on board, a box Of sou
biscuits, was put in the captains boat After
faree hours tossing in the boats the Yemas-
@ee was sighted The little bonts were seen
by the steamer and their occupants taken
saboard more dead than alive.
Capt Bull and his crew were loud in their
Paraise for Capt. Mckee who did everything
possible for their comfort This is the fourth
time that Capt. Bull has been shipwrecked,
and be says that he must have as many lives
as a cat With him on his perilous trip were
his wife aud two children.
