BURIED ALIVE. A True Narrative of Facts. A correspondent of Reynolds’ Miscellany, who has been for many years & b picasa J phy- sician, says that he has seen, during the last few months, sundry sketches of persons buried alive; and always feeling a deep interest in the subject, from an occurrence that took place some twenty years ago, he sends that journal the following account of it for publi- cation. He adds that the narrative is a true one—unadulterated with a particle of fiction. written out by a near relative of his, and is given in the narrator’s own words. It should serve as a warning to those who hasten to bury their dead out of sight I have been subject to epileptic fits from my youth upwards, which, though they did nct deprive me of animation in the sight of those about me, spas phoone & anvihilated my own consciousness used to ‘be attacked at all times and seasons, but most commonly about the full of the moon. I generally had a warn- ing of a pzculiar nature when these attacks were coming on, that it would be difficult to describe. It was a sensation that to be known must beexperienced. My excellent wife Mar- tha—I mean my first wife, who has been dead now for the best part of torty years—used to say that she always observed an unusual pale- Doss over my complexion, otherwise ruddy, for a day or two before the fit came on. Bless her soul! she never let me be tor one moment out of her sight, from the instant she had a suspicion of my approaching malady. This benevolence on her part was a great means of enabling her to subdue the violence of the fit when it came, for which purpose her expe- rience had pointed out to her several useful ef geben married again after her decease, because I was yo ns ey br bearing by my lone- liness, which none but persons in such a situ- ation—I mean a widower’s—can tell. My second wife, whom I have also buried, was not so penetrating in the faculty of observa- tion She was a woman of an admirable \hrift, and to her economy it was that I owe my preservation to the terrible event that I am about to detail. Had I been interred in lead, it would have been all over with me. Willing to save as much money as possible at my funeral, she had my body, with all the usual and proper grief attendant on the cere- mony, put into a stout wooden coffin, the weight of which was increased by a couple of old hundred heights, placed one on my head, the other at my feet. Thus the thing passed off well, and money was saved to my heirs T hereby cast no reflections upon my dear de- parted wife’s regard for me. a war convinced, as I told her, that her motive was good: and well did it turn out for me that she was so thrifty and considerate. She was a true wo- man, and was plain in her person—but I wan der again from my story. I had made a most excellent dinner—of this I Bave a perfect recollection. Of more than this 1 can recollect nothing until coming out of my fits, as 1 suppose—for I quickly ima- gived, feeling the usual sensations, that I was recovering from one of them. I say that on on coming to myself, I was surprised to find myself pinioned, and in utter darkness. [ had no space to stir if I would, as I soon found, while I struggled to loosen a sheet or some such thing, in which I was scantily eee: My band would not reach my head when [ st- tempted to make it do so, by reason of my el- bow touching the bottom and my hand the “e of the enclosure around me t was the attempting to do this, and find- ing myself naked, except with the aforesaid covering, that struck me that I had been en tombed alive The thought rushed suddenly upon me. My first sensations were those of simple surprise. I was like a child aroused out of a deop sleep, and not sufficiently awake to recognise its attendants. When the truth flashed upon me in all its fearful energy, I never can forget the thrill of horror that struck through me. It was as if a bullet had penetrated my heart, and al! the blood in my body had gushed through the wound Never, never, can hell be more terrible than the sen- sations of that moment. I lay motionless for a ‘ime, petrified with terror. Then a calm dampness burst forth from every part of my body. My horrible doom seemed inevitable; and so strong, at length became tis impression, so bereft of hope appeared my situation, that I ultimate- ly recovered from it only to plunge in the depth of a calm resolute despair. As not the faintest ray of hope could penetrate the dark- bess ardund my soul, resignation to my fate followed. I began to think of death coolly, and to caloulate how long I might survive before famine closed the hour uf my exist- ence. I prayed that I might have fortitude to die without repining. Caimly as I then felt, I tried if I could remember how long a man could live without food. Thus the tran- quility of my despair made me comparatively easy, if contrasted with the situation in which I felt myself afterwards, when hope began to glimmer upon me. My days must in the end be numbered. I must die at last—I was only perishing a little sooner than I otherwise must have done. Even from this thought I derived consolation ; and I now think lite might have closed calmly upon me, if the pangs of hun- ger bad been at all bearable—and | had been told that they are much more so than is com- monly believed. If my memory serves me sorrectly this calm state of mind did not last long eason soon began to whisper to me that if I had been buried, and the earth closed around my coffin, I should not be able to respire, which { could now do with ease. I did not, of course, dream of tse vault in which I was placed, but considered at first I had been buried on earth, The freedom of respiration gave me the idea that after all I was not carried forth for interment, but that I was about to be borne to the grave, and that there I should be suffocated inevitably. Such is the inconsistency of the human mind, that I, who had just now resigned my- self to die by famine, imagined this momenta- ry mode of death a hundred times moro for- midable. The idea that I wasnot yet interred, increased my anxiety to be heard from with- out. I called aloud, and struck the sides and the lid of the coffin to no purpose, till I was hoarse and fatigued, but all in vain. A sti!ly silence reigned around me amid the unbroken darkness I was now steeped in fearful ag:- ny. Ishrieked with horror. I plunged my nails into my thighs and wounded them. The coffin was soaked in my blood; and by tear- ing the wooden sides of my prison with the same maniacal feeling, 1 lacerated my fin- gers,and wore the nails to the quick, and soon became motionless from exhaustion. When I was myself once more, I called aloud my wife’s name. I prayed, and I fear I biasphemed ; for I knew not what I said; and I thus continued until my strength again left me, and nature once more sought replen ishment in temporary insensibility At this time I had a vision of a most inde- finable character, if it was one, and not a glance, as I am induced to think it was, be- tween the portals of death into the world of spirits It was all shapeless and formless. mages of men and women, often numberless —in a short of shadowy outlinc—cawe before and around me.

I tried, by lifting my back and by a violent strain, to burst open the coffin lid, but the screws re- sisted my utmost strength. 1 could not, be- sides draw up my knees sufficiently high to afford a tenth part of the purchase I should otherwise have made to bear it. Ibad no help but to return again to position of the dead, and reluctantly gain a little agoni- zing repose from my ions. I was con- scious how weak my efforts had made me, yet I resolved to re; them. While thus at rest—if inactive torture could be denomin: rest—I weptlike achild when I thought of the sunshine and blue skies and fresh air. which I should never more enjoy— how living beings thronged the streets, and thousands around me were joyous or busy, while I was doomed to perish in tortures. Why was my fate differently marked out to that of others? I had no monstrous crimes to repent of. Hundreds of criminal men were in the full revelry of life. I fancied I heard the toll of a bell, Breathless I listened. It was aclock striking the hour. The sound Was new life to me. “T am not inhumed, at least !’’ such were my thoughts. ‘Interment will take place— my coffin will be moved—I shall easily make myself heard then.’’ Men may fancy low they would find them- selves under similar circumstances, and on the like trying occasions; but it is seldom a correct judgment can be previously furmed on such matters. It was only at intervals that 1 was so fearfally maddened by my dreadful situation as to lose the power of rational re- flection, or so overcome as to be debarred the faculty of memory Stretched in a position where my changes consisted only of a turn on my side, upon bard boards, the soreness of my limbs was excruciatingly painful. When I drew my feet up a few inches, my knees pressed the cover, so that the slight shift of position brought no relief. My impatience of the restraint in which I was kept an at length to drive me well nigh to ness. I was fevered. My temples burned and throbbed, my tongue became dry, light flash- ed — my eyes, and my brain whirled round. Iam certain that my existence was pre- served solely by the diminished strength and subsequent feebleness which I experienced, aud which, from ite rendering me ingensible to the increasing exacerbation of my brain’s heat, allowed nature to resume her wonted —- But, alas! this was only that I might revive to encounter once more irreme- diable horror. Who could depict the frenzy, the unspeakable anguish of my situation ? Burning tears flowed down my cheeks. My heart was swollen almost to bursting. I be- came restless in feeling, without finding space for a fancied relief in a new change of position In my mental anguish, at times, however, I forgot my motionless bodily suffering—my rack of immovable agony How many hours I Jay in this state of active and passive torture I cannot tell. My thirst, however, soon became intolerable. My mouth seemed fall of hot ashes. 1 heard again the hollow sound of a clock bell, of no small mag- nitude, jadging frem its deep intonation x. eranny which I hed hitherto observed in my prison let in light—though [ well knew there toust be some fissure for the fresh air, for the continuance of life so far. How else had I existed ? » bi m It was night, perhaps, when I first came to myself in my prison of “six dark boards.” I groped in vain over every part of their wood - en surface which Ieould reach I could find no chink, could eee no day. Again I heard the hollow knell, which tended to increase my fearful agony. Ob, what were my feelings! For a long time after this I lay steeped in m; suffering—or at least fora long time as seemed tome. My head was bruised all over, my limbs were excessively sore—the skin rubbed off in many places with my sti ling, my eyes aching with pain. I sought relief by turning on my right side—I had never before turned but on my left—when I felt under me a hard substance, which I had not before perceived. I grasped it with some difficulty, and soon found it was a knot from the coffin plank, which had been forced inwards, in all probability, after I was placed there. I saw also a dim light through a hole, about as large as a half-crown piece, just below where my chincame. I put my hand to it, and found it covered with coarse cloth, which I easil y imagiued was the lining of my coffin. I soon contrived to force my finger through this cloth, though not without considerable diffi- culty. Faintenough was the light it revealed, but it was noonday sun of joyto me. By uneasy strain of my neck, 1 could see ob- liquely through the opening, but everything was confaucei in my brain My sight was cloudy, heavy, and thick. I at first could only see there was light, but could distinguish no object. My senses, however, seemed to sharpen as new hopes arose. I closed my eyes for a min- ute together, and then epened thon: to restore their almost worn out power of vision. At length I could distinguish that immediately opposite to me there was a small window, crossed by massy iron bars, through which the light [ saw streamed in upon me like joy into the soul of misery. I now cried with delight I thought I was among men again, for the pitchy darkness around me web disperasd. 1 forgot for a moment my sufferings. Even the fearful question, how should I get free from my durauce before famine destroyed me, was a long time absent from my mind, and did not recur until 1 could look through the fisture no longer, from the giddiness caused by a too earnest fixedness of gaze. I soon concluded, trom the massy stones on each side of the opening, and the strength of the bars, that I was ina church vault, and this wes confirmed when I came to distinguish the ends of two or three coffins. which partly interpozed between me and the light. 1 watched the window until the light began to grow dim, with feelings no language can de- Scribe, no tongue tell. As the gloom of night approached, my heart began to beat fainter, and my former agonies retarned with tenfold weight, notwithstanding which, I imagine I must have slept some. I was sensible of « noise, like the grating of a heavy door upon its hinges, when I revived or awoke—I can- not say which—and I saw the light of a candle stream across the fissure in my coffin. I called out— ‘For the love of your soul, release me! I am buried alive!” The light vanished in @ moment. Fear seemed to have palsied the hand that held it, for I heard a rough voice desire the holder of it to return ‘If there’s any one here, he’s soldered up, Tom, hand me the light. The dead never speak. Jim, the Snatcher, is not to be scared by rotten flesh.”’ Again I called as loud as I could—‘* I am buried alive—save me!” “Tom, the axe!’ creid the undaunted body- snatcher; “the voice comes from this box. The undertaker made too great haste, I sup- we.”? ame sre afew minutes I was sitting upright in < fia. : i krex afterwards I cherished a fer resurrection men, who never asked a guinea of me in vain.
