Boston, Nov. 16. The revenue cutter
Seminole, anxiety for whose safety has been
felt for the past three days, arrived in Bos-
ton last night. Her delay was caused by
the heavy winds and high seas which pre-
vailed Tuesday, her commander thinking it
best to put into Providencetown and not
proceed to Boston until the weather moder-
ated. She had on board the captain and
crew of the sch. Mark Pendleton. The

southwest of Highland light and both ships

. Herman Winter, and they worked all night
at the pumps and tried to repair the leak.

sert the ship, and they rowed to the Pollock
Rip lightship, from which they were taken
off by the Seminole. The crew managed to
save all their belongings and had not left
the ship many minutes when she sank The
vessel did not stay at the bottom but drifted
about the channel and it is thought she
might be saved, as she has no cargo to bear
her down. The captain of the Mark Pen

winds and high seas caused the accident.

of five men, three white and two cofored,

fered from their experience of Monday
night. The captain and his brother, who
