piea oy tne violence and nbstinarrcy of the

storm; alarm began to be felt by all on board,

and even ;he philosophical captain at length betrayed some apprehension lor our safety. The sails and rigging were torn away, piece by piece; the mists were splintered, and finally there was little left but the hulk of the beautiful ship which had a few days before sailed so proudly over the waves. To add to oar distress, on trying the pump?, we fou d that there were four feet water in the hold. The alarm of all on board increased, and I could perceive by the lengthened physiog;e tny of the captain, that he had never stood tnore in need of his philosophy than at iImi moment He, however, s'ill stormed at the tailors, to urge them to exertion, nd calmly quoted Seneca to satisfy himself of the vanity

of lite.

The sailors laboured night and day at the

pumps to keep us aft int. We had been dii ven in this manner at the mercy of the w v for about a week, every day the leak i:-cr-a-ing, but a- tha wind was favorable, and w constan'lv mailed in the same direction, w

prospect ol being rescu d from a watery grave, were now changed to those of terror,

fer the helsman had lost all control over the ship, and there were breakers ahead, upon which sh mut inevitably strike and go to

pieces. The captain foresaw the danger and ordered the loig boat to he got in readiness. He th i awaited patiently the mment that would d cid our fate. The interval was truly awful, and as I stood gazing en the Coast now so near us, 1 felt that death in the csidst of the dreary waste of waters would

net have been so terrible as in the sight of

the haunts of men and a place of safety. All were assembled on deck; we drew near to the spot where the furious waves were lash ed into foam: every eye was fixed upon it, and each held his breath in dreadful suspense, as the wreck was borne aloft by the

disappeared in the bustle and confusion that

prevailed. He had doubtless gone below,

resolved to remain there and sink with the ship, as the actual ills of this life were to him

more appalling than the untried sufferings of

the lit.; to come. The Spanish peasants planted a rude cross over tiifir grave to denote the spot where the shipwrecked strangers lie, and a wandering monk sanctified it and offered up an orison ;hat t!iHr sleep might be undisturbed After their interment the physician informed us that he had some matters of interest to communicate, which had been related io him i' confidence by the shipwr-cked sailor, at a ime when, as lie said, he had abandoned all hopes of safety, and he wist ed to relieve his mi-id from the weight of M-ret guilt.

Having read it to the captain, he observed, Umc philosophy is a cure for must evils which Providence inflicts upon man, but it is of r, avail in cases like the present, where the sul ferer himself is the sole cause of the evil he ndures.
