We had favourable winds and good weather for the first five days ;:on the morning of ttieisixth it yiefj jgan to cloud up;, as the day wore away, the gloom increased ; and when the night set in, it was as intensely dark as I fver remember to have .seen it. " The novelty a ud interest of my situation pre- venieo me irom turning in. l he scene was awfully grand ; the : rolling of the thunder could just be distinguished above the roaring of the waves: and the, vivid xiasnes m iignining uispersea ior a mo ment the. raging waters round us. I con . tinued .walking the deck with the captain, who was relating to me some of the many d ters and difficulties that, a life of third t v years 1 on the ocean had subjected him to, -ri He had been thrtce shipwreck ed, and twice captured by the enemy in the late war with England.

The waves ran ! mountains high, and our little vessel danced over them in fine style, wb n accidentally casting my eyWover her side, I thought I perceived someting dark moving in the water. . I pointed it out to the captain, Who no sooner saw it than, with an ex . cl imation of the terror and despair, he " cried, " YVe are all lost !" and sprung to the binnacle for his trumpet; 1 saw in an instant our danger jj it ship bearing full upon us. was a larce I knew if she sti uck us our destruction was inevitable ; ah would pass over us in a moment ; the people on her deck would be scarcely sensible of the event, and we should be buried in the ocean without the least pos sibility of relief. The captain twice raised his trumpet to' hail her, but fright and despair made him mute. I snatched it from him, and in a voice rendered so pernaturaliy loud by the danger of my situation,-which was heard even above the . roaring of the waves; ! hailed her with; Starboard your,helm.v In ano ther moment she passed us with the velo city of lightning, her hiige bulk and loftv safs casting a still deeper gloom over the drxk; of our little vessel.- She rolled in th chasm occasioned by nW passing of the vast body so nigh her, and nearly.up set. ; I sunk on the; deck, overcome by the intensity of my feelings, deprived as it were of the power of motion. I re covered myself, and approached our cap tain ; he was standing in the same posi tion as before; the vessel had passed lis, and appeared to be insensible to the ob jects around him. I spoke to him, but he answered me not ; 1 1 shook him, and he loused as from a stupour or reverie It-was some time before Jhis mind resum ed its empire, and he afterwards told me, -tbnt in. all his danger and perils, and when death stared him in the face, and deliverance seemed impossible, he was never so impressed with the certainty of his destruction' as at that moment. As for me, I shall never forget my feeling on that eventful night, and cannot even now look back without horror' on the danger of mv situation.
