rescued. Schr Samuel &. Hubbard, from

Boston, Feb. 8. The Boston bark Penob-
scot, Capt Dow, was towed into port before
noon yesterday, after a terrifying exper-
ience i'll the recent blizzard. The vessel
Game from Bonaire, and all the way she
was the plaything of the elements. She
was pounded by the seas and driven out of
her course by almost continuous gales
until those on board feared the passage
would never end. y week ago the Pencil
scot reached Cape Cd, but she had han dly
poked her nose into the bay when north
westerly gale drove her off. " hen the biz
Zard broke on Tuesday the bark was within
10 miles of Highland light. 1t required skill
fu! SeamanShip on the part of the captain
and officers to prevent herfroni being SN ept
ashore. The crew We're kept constantly
at work to save the vessel, and many of
! them are nursing frozen hands and feet as
a result OF exposure. Capt. Dow said the
vessel left Bonaire Jan. l., and during the
entire trip she was battered by gales and
hurricanes, principally from the north.
Tremendous seas kept the craft partially
buried, and her cabin and forecastle were
half full of water at times. Gale after gale
stuck the vessel but she remained perfectly
tight, and, although knocked about and
raked by the seas, she escaped injury. The
weather was SO warm until the bark reach
ed Cape Cod that fire was not necessary.
Then came the piercing cold weather, and
to save the vessel from icing up quantity
OF salt from her cargo was used to keep her
free. The Penobscot carried cargo of
lumber from New York to Montevideo and
made rather long passage. Then she
returned to Barbados and was ordered to
Bonaire to load for this port She brought
in 1850 barrels of salt. She also has on
board dozen sails from the Boston schoon-
er Meron, which was wrecked at Bonaire
some weeks ago.
