 As we drew nearer we discerned man bound to the spar, which was now seen to be that of a submerged yacht making a small angle with the water Tho man did not sec us for some lime after we had observed him. the swollen condition of his eyes, resulting from the salt water to which he had been exposed so long making him almost blind. As soon as he saw us he be- gan to cry out like a madman and de- spite our cries to keep still he continued incessanty to hollcr like a scared child. The waves were breaking over him. 1lI- ing his mouth with water and we fear led he would be drowned before our eyes,
