: EXTRAORDINARY AD VEN1?U RE
Some weeks 'since i most extraordinary
adventure with life boaU. of a aew -construction
-occurred at KValentiai 'on the
south west coast of 'Iceland. The bdats
had the appearance of the ordinary. whale
boat, and were built in "London and iaken
to Yalentia to await a suitable opportuni
ty to test their abilities, ; the coast in that
vicinity beingften more boisterous than
any bt the British waters. The day came,
the 26th of November. The barometer
had snnjc to 28 90, the force of- the wind
marked IX), with a tremendous sea rtin
ning and breaking wildly on the head
lands of Dingle bay. (Everything was
considered' suitable for a trial of tlie boats.
They are five oared boats, with air-tight
compartments and clearing Valves fbr dis
charging water.: "
Mr.( Forrest's boat -was manned by the
coxwain nnd.five of the local crew who
are in' training-for : a- large national - life
'just 'presen ted by an .En gHsh Jady The1
pther boat was manned by a coastguard
. ere w, and steered by the inspecting officer.
Both crews were provided with Captain
Wards life belts.
Within the harbor aTI was comparative- f
;ly:8mooth, vessels riding easy at their an
chors, but the gale was so strong that the
boats made headway with great difficulty,
;ftie wind sometimes ; driving the oars out
of ;thf rowlocks up over the men's hends
in spite of: their, utmost efforts to keep
them down. Slow progress was 'thus
made towards a passage leading out into
a wild bay, called Lough! Kay, which lies
outside the harbor of Valentfa to the
north. Here the sea was running moun
tains high, and it became evident that no.
boat of any description could live long un
der it. - Mr. White, however, being still
determined to try the?-bbajts, made Ibis,
final arrangements for a bold experiment.
He directed "the boat which accompanied
him to lie in comparative shelter under
Lamb island (a. small grassy island seven
ty-e?ght feet hi h; over which the sea was
making a full breach), so. that she might
watch the fate of her consort, and render
assistance if possible. Then with his own
i coastguard crew he dashed out into the
ba, watching each tremendous roller iand
renndingher to meet it. About a quar
ter of an hour passed in this struggle,
when a great tidal wave was observed by
the' spectators gathering ; itself about a mile
to seaward. Dintinguishable by lookers
on far island, like a mighty Andes tower
( ing above the lesser mountains, this At
lantic giant swept in, extending right
across the bay and leaping far up the cliffs
on either side. 7 '
. In fthe opinion of'experienced seamen
who obaerved ,itfthis sea would have
pt the'decksbf the Great Eastern like
a rartj8iiBeared the devoted beat its
appearance, became more terrific. The
water shoaled there from ten to seven
fathoms, and changing its shape with the
conformation of the ground-, below, that
which had been a rolling mountain rose
into a rushing cliff water., Never were
six men in more desperate circumstances.
The rule laid down for meeting a despe
rate seats to pull against it with the ut
most sped ; but for meeting such a sea as
l-this ho rule was ever. made. Cheering
ffis men forward, the steersman put: his
' bpat right at it, calculating nicely to meet
the sea at a" right angle. Steadily, as if
-spurting, in a Tace, the men strained at
their oariaiid gliding on even "keel, like
an arrow, the boat entered the roaring
avalanche its crest towering twenty-five
feet above her, and overhanging. The
inspecting officer, who was steering, and
the chief boatman,' who was pulling stroke
oar, .were hurried, headlong over the
boat's stern by the falling sea. Had she
not been of extraordinary strength, owing
tb.her peculiar double-sided construction,
file must have been shivered like a band
box. Crushing her bodily, fathoms down
the sea bore her astern, at lightning speed,
tearing away her rudder, and jsteenng
Crutch by the pressure, lhe steersman
was caught head down warn a3 she passed,
by some projecting hook Dr spur rowlock,
and dragged thus. for a few seconds, then
found himself suddenly freed and' rising
rapidly. On reaching tlie -surface he met
the chiet boatman already anoat, out iook-
irisr very much confused The latter af
terward described himself as having be'n
conscious of receiving, some -tremendous
impetus, which caused him, as he imag
ined, to turn a series of somersaults under
water.
; Though cased in heavy waterproof boots,
thick pea iackets, and oil cloth overcoats,
the life belts supported them with -perfect
ease. The sea which had hurled them
out of the boat had beaten the rest of the
crew down as they bent over, their oars in
a stooping posture,each man en the thwart
before hirav The bowman alone was stun
ned. The remaining three retained per
fect consciousness : " they had their eyes
open, but all' around was total darkness..
They describe theirsensation as like that
throusrh a railway tunnel, but whether
they were in the boat of in the sea" 'they
fionld hot distinguish at the time; i AC
length a faint dawn of liglitrpached their :
eyes, increasing rapidly, and - thy, .were
conscious of rtsmg.through the, green; wa
ter : and' at last they emerged through the
broken foam sitting each' man in his place.
The first object that met their eyes as the
boat rose to the surface was thejmoy of
the Kay Rock close alongside of them:
Thi bnov is bv measurement over four

FetroleBm Forty Years Ago.
The newspapers are reviving an article
on petroleum, published in Pittsburg fbr-;
ty years ago,- and transferred, . with editor
rial comments, in the, Journal1 of" the
Franklin Institute In J 828: Tlie author of
the article is not given, ' but it show a,
mind fu 11 of practical knowledge and of
extraordinary foresight.; The writer is en
deavoring toinduce the corporative au
thorities of Pittsburg to,ilight that city
with the oil from the salt 1 springs,1 known
there as Seneca oil, but now universally A
called petroleum. Me describes it as the
product of the coal formations, shows that
the country thereabout is1 full of ir, pro
phesies that it will come into general u.e,
and even calculates the' price of it per
gallon, which at 25 Cents, is about the pres- j
em worm 01 it, tasing tne ainerence be
tween gold and currency. The; lowness
of the price, the writer! thought, might be
against collecting it as a commercial spec
ulation, but the use -of fit, he argues, will
soon advance the price. It it remarkable
that a scientific journjal like that of the
Franklin; Institute, should at that time
raise objections and throw cold water upon
ideas which now seem imbued with .so
mueh foresight and practical knowledge.,
The journal says the suggestion that a
combustible gas could, be obtained from
the oil from salt wells is "founded on an
imperfect knowledge, of the chemicalcpn
stitution of the gasses so produced), but as
this is a subject with which the writer does
not pretend to be intimate,; the suggestion
was perfectly ; natural ;; this gas affords an
extremely feeble flame, and. were it possi
ble to transport it to the ctty, without In
curring an expense manifold greater than
that of generating gas from coal, it would
scarcely make darkness visible." It is jea
sy to see now which -was the scientific
mind and which was the pretender. If
the author of the suggestion is Jiving,
with what satisfaction he must nowegarpT
tlie realization of it, and how amused? life
must be, while reading by ' the brilliant
light of a petroleum lamp, to remember
that the foremost scientific'jourrial ot the
; country declared that It had but a 'feeble
flame.'' . - H h - ' '.:!'

Remarkable Egyptian Discoveries.
The Paris .Moniteur publishes a
letter
from Mariette Bej, a savant in the service
of the viceroy of Egypt which- contains
the following statement : I
'At Abydos I have discovered amagnifi
cent counterpart of the tablet of Sahlarah
SeH accompaBied by his son, subsequently
Iibamscs it. (S.esostris) presents an offer
infir to seventy six Icings drawn-p in line
before him : Menes the first king of the
first dynasty on Menetho's list is at iheir
head. From Menes to Seti I. this forrp
dable list passes through nearly allr-the
dynasties. Tlie six first are represented
therein. We are next introduc'Xtb sov
ereigns still unknown to- hs b0ngiug to
the obscure period, which Extends : from
lhe end of the sixth dynasty to the begin
ning of the eleventh.. F';om the elefenth

beaten track, which does not quit again
dnring the reigns, "of Tntmes Ajxieniophis
and the first Rh'n88v . If in this'uejw list
everything i? p.ot absolutely new, we at
least find in it a vatuabid confirmation of
Menetho's rst, and; in the present! state
of science can hardly expect more. What'
