could not know, and like his Master

Captain Antoine Rose, of the whaling

with him.
All attention of the crew was turned
to the boat, which was quickly filling,
and it was quick work to save their
own lives. The mast and the six oars
were lashed across the gunwales to
keep her from capsizing, and she
slowly began to settle. Higher and
higher rose the water, until it reached
to the shoulders of the men us they
stood on the seats.
There they stood four long hours,
balancing on their precarious foot
hold, hanging to life by thread,
until their vessel could be worked up
to them from her distant position on
the horizon.
When rescued some of the men
were nearly dead. One poor fellow
was unconscious, and it required an
hour of hard work and quantities of
hot coffee to bring him back to life.
The next day, nothing daunted by
their rough experience, the boats were
away again in the chase, and soon had

afternoon their prize was safely
moored head and stern alongside the
little schooner, and the work of get
ting her out of the rough waters of
the Gulf stream began.
They worked steadily until O'Clock
the next morning, but their efforts
were unavailing, as heavy gale had
sprung up and was blowing with
hurricane force. Barks and schooners
could be seen on all sides lying hove
to under bare poles.
In order to save the vessel Captain
Rose was obliged to cut the warps and
let the eishty-barrel prize, worth
fully $4,000, drift away. The long en-
posuro i'll the cold water and hard
work aggravated an old strain, and
Captain Rose began to grow sick an
was obliged to work the vessel in to-
ward tho land for assistance.

captain took passage ior land, and
sent his vessel to sea again in charge
of his first officer, and has spent the
last five weeks in the New Bedford
