PERIL OFF CAPE HORN. BY N. W. TROWBRIDGE. “Stand by your ekysail halyarde, fore and aft,”’ yelled the skipper, as he paced the quar- ter-deck of the beautiful clipper Greyhcuod. “Ay, ay, sir!’’ was the cheerful response of the brave tara. “Lower away for your lives! clew’em up! Clew up the royals and aft,”’ was the next ordor, which was as cheerfally complied with. We were soon standing to the routhward under bare poles. The weather was extremely cold, and ice in large quantities had collected on the deck. The rigging was one mass of ice; indeed, so completely frozen were the bracea, that the cook was compelled to keep a c@uldron of water coptinually boiling, to use in thawing the ice that collected on them and in the brace blocks. The gale continued in all its fury, and it was evidently on the increase; but the Grey- hound bore on with, as it were, a stern resolu- tior never to say die. The men, almost frozen, collected in groups around the deck. while the constant warning ery of the look-out on the topgallant forecastle often startled them from the stupor into which they had fallen Were it not for the frequent ealis upon them to perform some work about the ship, they would no doubt have fallen into that deep sleep from which one seldom if ever awakens. “‘leebergs ahead!” yelled the lock-out. “* Hard down your helm!** ** Down it is!"’ We all gazed eagerly into the deep darknoas that surrounded the ship, and caught a glimpse of a heavy white mass, which we had that mo- ment passed. I trembled; for I was aware that if the ship touched any of these bergs, it were certain destruction for all of us. “Two of yon go up thereand relieve the look-out;’’ was the next order. I jumped to obey him. in company with an old’ whaleman, for I imagined that, were my eyes looking out for my own safety, they would have a second sight. Here my companion and myself paced to-and-fro, many minutes without daring to break the silence. that was only marred by the whistling of the wind through the naked rigging. At length I ventured to remark : «A stormy night this, Dick '"’ “Yes, but were we ten degrees to the north- ward it might blow,’’ replied he, “ but here with the cold and ice, we stand a chance o running feul.’’ ~ You have no fears of danger, have you?’ I next asked. “There's more danger here than you have any idea of, boy. But, what's that?” he ex- claimed, peering into the mist before us. “A ship as I'm a sinner’ Hard down! hard down! hard!’’ he yelled, as if all depended upon his being heard Ship ahead!’’ In an instant the captain was at his side. “Where is she, Dick ?”” “* Dead ahead, sir, she was, but now right off our lee bow.” » Aye ' [see ;”’ said the captain, “ but what in fury is she trying to do? - cross our bows?”’ “I'd beta menth’s wages she is?” replied Dick. “Stand by your braces there! Boy, run and get my trumpet, and call Mr. Egan!” were the rapid orders that came from the skip- per, as he jumped down on deck. ‘‘ How does she head? “‘Sou'’west by sou’, half sou’, sir'’’ cried the helmsman. “* Let her off a point!”’ ** Aye, aye, sir’ “ Where's the stranger now, Dick ?’’ said the captain, coming up on tke forecastle. ““Bame position—sommut nearer!’’ Dick's brief reply. “« By the gods, she'll run us down !”” “ So she will, si The stranger now ae nearer and nearer, until we were able to perceive that she was a clipper, of much more tonnage than the Greyhound. Her lookouts, if any she had, evidently did not keep a good eye to the wind- *ard, for she kept on ber course, which would bring her across our bows. A collision seemed inevitable, for at this moment I espied an ice- berg on our weather bow. The only course of action for us to pursue was to endeavor to pass the point we should meet before she came down upon us. Our skipper saw this, for he immediately or- dered the main topeail to be unfurled. “ihe sailore with the second mate, ran up the rig- ging, and Jay out on the yard. At this mo- ment the look-out on the other ship caught sight of us, and her course was altered so that ehe could pass us, but it would prove a very ** close shave.”’ In a few moments our main topsail swung out to the breeze; but at this moment the Sep was mast cracked, and as the man reached the dec! with a loud, clear snap, it parted from the mainmast, and lay over the side. “Cut away that wreck ?” cried the captain through his trumpet. “Man overboard !’’ yelled one of the men. “Lot him go '"’ answered the skipper. “The second mate’s killed !’’ was the next warning cry The captain ran to him, and lifting his inan- imate 'y in his arms, he carried him into the eabin® The poor fellow was dead; a portion of the topmasi struck him as it parted from the stays, and with no warning, sent him into the presence of his Maker! “* Where's the stranger now ?”’ said the cap- tain, coming from the cabin, and dashing a tear from his eye. “ By George, we'll strike her. Ship ahoy!” No answer ; the noise of the creaking spars, the dashing of the waves, and the wind’s shrill whistle, drowned his voice. After a few mo- ments, the ships having approached somewhat nearer, he sgained hailed them “* Aye, aye ‘"’ came from the stranger. “What in are you trying to do—run us down !”’ yelled our skipper through his trux- pet. With all eagerness we awaited the reply. It was— “Our wheel's broke!” ‘Then may God have merey on your soul!” cried our captain. ‘- What ship?’ ~ Belvade, of Boston.”’ “ My God, it is my father’s vessel !”’ “Lay us aboard, will you’’’ was the next cry from the stranger. ~ I dare not even for your sake.”’ The next moment the stra: er swung around to the wind, and we struck ber on her brow. A loud crash told the result. We had slit he As both the ships recoiled from the shock the stranger's bow fast settled in the séa ! Again we came together, and in an instant the Bel- yade’s bow was below the waves. She raised herself with a mighty effort, and az she struck the third time, with the mingled shrieks and groans of over twenty souls, she plunged into the trough of the sea, and was seen no more.

Nt was evident that the water gained on us fast. “ Sound the pumps '* “ Three feet six.” The captain went to the bow. After gazing &@ moment over it, he exclaimed : “ Whieb among you, for a galton of grog will il a ay of cauvas pver the break?” 54,1, wered many voices. The canvas was soon rigged, and one of the sailors swung himself over the side. In’afew moments he re-appeared, nearly dead, with the intelligence that all was right. The water in the hold decreased sensibly, and in afew hours the ship was nearly dry. The storm abating, we were soon enabled to set sail on the fore and mizzen masts.

An amusing story of Daines Barrington, Re- corder of Bristol, is related by one of the Brit- ish press. Having to appear for the plaintiff in a cnse at a winter assize in Clonmel, he “‘let into the defendant in no meafured terms. The individual inveighed against not being present, only heard of the invectives. After Barring- ton, however, had got back to Dublin, the Tip- Perary man lost no time in paying his palsy ments to the counsel. He rode all day and night, and covered with sleet, arrived befure Barrington’s residence, in Harcourt street, Dublin. Throwing the bridle of his smoki: horse over the railing of the arca, he announce his arrival by a thundering knock at the door, which nearly shook the street. Barrington’s valet answered the summons, and opening the street door, beheld the apparition of a rough- ovated Tipperary fire eater, with a large stick under his arm, and the sleet sticking t> his bushy whiskers. ,_"' 4s your master up,"’ demanded the visitor, in a voice that gave some intimation of the ob- ject ot his journey. “No,” answered the man. “Then give him my compliments, and say Mr. Foley, (he'll know the name,) will be glad to see him.” The valet went up stairs and told his master, who was in bed, the purport of his visit. ‘Then don’t let Mr. Foley in for your life,” said Barrington, “for it’s not a hare and a br vig of ducks he has come to present me with.” The man was leaving the bed room, when a rough wet coat pushed by him, while a thick voice said, “by your leave; at the same mo ment Mr. Foley entered the bedroom. _‘* You know my business,” said he to Bar- rington, ‘I have made a journey to teach you muinners, and it is pot my purpose to return until I have brokerevery bone in your body,” and at the same time he cut a figure of eight with his shillelagh, before the cheval glass. * You do not mean to say you would murder me in bed,’ exclaimed Ditnen who bad as much honor as cool courage. “No,” replied the other, ~ but get Up as soon as you can. *- Yes," replied Daines, «that you might fell me the moment I put my body out of the blank- ets.”” “No.” replied the other, ‘I pledge you my word not to touch you, till you are out of bed.’’ ** You won't ?’” “ T won't.” “Upon your honor.”” “ Upon my honor.” “That is enough,” said Daines, turning over and making himself very comfortable, and seem- ing as though he meant to fall asleep, “I have the honor of an Irish gentleman, and may rest as safe as though [ were under the castle guard.”” ‘The Tipperary salamander look 4 marvel- ously astonished at the pretended sleeper, but soon Daines began to snore. _ ‘Halloa!’’ said Mr. Foley, “aren’t you go- ing to get up?”’ * No,”’ said Daines, “ I have the honor of an Trish gentleman that he will not strike me in bed, and I am sure I am not going to get up to have my bones broken; I will never get up again. In the meantime, Mr. Foley, if you should want your breakfast, ring the bell; the best in the house is at your serviee. The morn- ing paper will be hera presently, but be sure to air it before reading, for there is nothing from which a man so quic ly catches cold, as reading a damp journal,”’ and Daines once more affect. ed to go to sleep. Thg Tipperary man had fun in him as well as fefocity, he could not resist the cunning of the counsel, so laughing he exclaimed, “Get up, Mr. Farrington, tor in bed or out of bed, [ have not the heart to hurt so droll a man.”’ The result was that in leas than an hour af- terwards, Daines and his intended murderer were sitting down to a warm breaktast, the lat- ter only intent upon assaulting a dish of smo- king chops. ee ——____ A Revivat Cextiricate.—We have been fav- ored (says the New York Evening Post) with the following copy of an extraordinary certificate which has been copiously issued by a number of influential citizens of Philadelphia, who are in- terested in promoting the present revival.

A Pirreex Dottar Wire ix Trovsie.—The Lockport (Pa) Courier says that Mrs. Levina Fisher, of Newfane, was on examination Thurs- day last, under a charge of grand larceny, in taking notes, certificates and other Papers be- longing to the estate of Warren Carpenter, de- ceased. The case is somewhat peculiar. Mrs. Fister lived with Carpenter for six years, dis- charging all the duties of a wife and house- keeper, and it seems supposed that she and a child that she says Carpenter was the father of, was to have the property. Carpenter made no will, and his brothers took out letters of admiu- istration on the estate and caused the arrest. It came out in evidence that Carpenter purchased Mrs. Lovine of her husband siz years ago for the sum of 815, and that they had lived together as man and wife since that time. She wax held to bail to await the action of the Grand Jury in the sum of $200. It is stated that a suit is to be brought in her behalf to recover the property or a portion of it for herself and child. {07 The New Orleans Picayune of the 30th ult. s ys that a singular funeral train passed up Dry- de® street on the day previous. on its way to one of the Fourth district cemeteries.
