We went on well, with moderate breezes, until the evening of the 2ist, at eleven o'clock, when it came on to blow from the N. N. E. rather freshly, and we shortened gail and kept on our course as before, About 14 o'clock A. M. of the 22d, it became squally, the wind blowing strongly from the sama point. We were then in latitude 47 45, longitude 41 26 west, The gale increased, and we were obliged to stow up all our sails and heave to under the maintopeail, which we set t keepthe ship steady. We discovered that the ship was making water very fast, so all hands were immediately set to work at the pumps. At six A.M. we shipped @ heavy sea, which washed away our quarter boats and davits, stove the galley doors in, Washed away the coppers for cooking, quenched the fires, and swept many small articles overboard. The gale continued unabated until 140 P. M. of the same day, when we were boarded by another heavy sea, which washed away the cabin #kylight, the binnacle, Ac., and stove in the top of the cabin. We then #pread’a sail over the cabin to keep the water from washing down on us as it did prior to this every time a wave struck the vessel since the roof of the cabin was stove in. The gale con- tinued in full force till @:30 P.M. of the same day, when @ third monstrous sea struck the ship, which stove in the front of the cabin, which was a house on deck, filing it with water, and washing everything in the starboard side of itoverboard. It also washed away the longboat and Jjollyboat, and split the covering board abaft the maim rigging. At 11:40 P. M. the ship was full of water, and the pumps were of no further use. The ship's bulwarks were nearly all washed away, and the sea made a clean breach over her, All hands pow determined to take to the main rigging, as they did not know the moment the vessel might go down, My wife was in bed in the cabin, with her child, and I came to ber and told ber that “we must all take to main rigging.” She was very much affect- ed by this ‘but aid she would go. So great waa the danger that she had no time to put any clothes on her scarcely, with the excey of & coat and one or two other loose garments. night was not very cold at this time. We gathered up what bread we could, aa somo of it had beeu at the windward side of the vessel, where it escaped being spoiled by sea water. We also wok up a round of salt beef, some raw potatoes and a ham of ba- con, We tried to getsome fresh water, but found that al} the casks containing it bad been washed overboard, except those (n the forward part of the vessel, near the forecastie, which we could pot get bear, on account of the: heavy seas that were now alwaye rolling uninterruptedly over the vessel. We were consequently without water, We secured ourselves in the maintop with canvass and ropes, which served us for shelter also. We coald not sleep any scarcely that night. At seven o’clock the next morhing, 2d, we Saw a sail to leeward; she was also ® bark, and she passed within about a mile of us. Wa managed to set a signal of distress, but the bark passed us without taking notice of it, and wo Bu that did not see it. = «The storm continued to rage violently, and we were in con- tinual danger, expecting the mainmast to go over the ship's side, The 28d was epent in a miserabie manner by’ the whole of us, Our clothes were wet. We coukl nob stretch ourselves, but were all huddied together without room to stir, Some of the men went down to the of the deck house for the parpose of stretching their legs. My child was qniet, sometimes slept a litte, and occa- sionally cried for a drink, which he could net get. Tcan- not say that my wile Was more frightened than any of the rest of us, or that #be said more about the danger. Wa kept our flag of distress flying now continually, but no versel hove ia — after the Dark pessed until the 24th. ‘On the 23d we ail began to feel the want of fresh water. Every part of the versel, except the upper part of tha cabin and the masts, was aiways upder water. On the night of the 28d some of the men slept on the roof of the aierwarde ometimes managed to get down from the rigging w tretch my limbs; but my wife never came dowa rom the time she went up but once, when he tried to tke @ sleep in tho cabin This Was on the #ixth day after she went up to the maintop- mast, She uo sooner lay down, however, than a large fea came over the stern of the ship, washing into the cabin, and sweeping away the bed she was sleeping and wehing herself and the child with water, She ther went up to the rigging again, and never came down afwr- ward till the vessel came along to rescue us, On tha night of the 24h onr rudder was unshipped by a heavy sea, which also carried away the counter under it, and the ship was thenceforward ummanageabie, and round and round by the wind and waves. The want of water was geety felt by every one on board now. Om ‘the 25th some light showers fell, but they were so dashed about by the force and fury of wind that we could not catch m ip the sails, and were glad to receive some drops which fell from the’ rigsin mouths, they suppl were were from rain ‘26th the same way Jy batter than the other, not so brackish and more of it. Wo were relieved by this «upply considerably. We could not eat the salt beef jest it would produce thirst, and we were freqnently obliged to slice the raw potatoes abd cat them, that their juice might wet ovr mouths, We ako got small pieces of Jead into our mouths, and kept chewing them to keep our mouths cool, and wo fancied that Ut allayed our thirst in some measure.
