This was but a momentary suspense ; for with in a few minutes all the passengers were called. oi to bail in order to prevent the boat from sinking, lmmediately.all-were employed; but with little effect : for, not withstanding the greatest exertions on the part of the passengers, including even many of the ladies, the water was rapidly increasing, and gave most conclusive evidence, that unless we reached the shore within a'few hours, the boat must sinic at sea; and probably not a soul be left to communicate the heart pending in telligence to bereaved1 and - disconsolate friends. " Soon after the boat was hea Jed 'towjards the land, the water had increased so much as to reach the fire under the boilers, which was soon extinguished. -Gloomy indeed " was' the prospect before us. With about one hundred and thirty persons, in a sinking boat, far out to sea, in a, dark and tempestuous night, w$h no othr dependence for reaching the shore than a few small and tattered sails, bur si tuation might be considered truly awful. But. with all these disheartening circum stances, hope, del u-sive' bope, still support ed us. Although it was evident that we must soon smk.nd our progress towards the land vas verv low. still we cherished the expectation that the boat would finally be run ashore, and thus most of us be de livered" from a watery grave. EaTly in the ! afternoon, the. ladies' had been pro- viaea witn stnpa ot olanket, that theyf might be lashed to such .parts of the boa as woud aflbrd 1 he greatesv. probability ot safety. - .V; y. , . . - In this condition, and with these ex pectation?, we gradually, but with a mo tion nearly imperceptible, approached wbat to many ot us was an untried, and almost unknown shore. At about eleven o'clock, those who had ben employed in bailing Were comnelled to Feave the ca bin; as the boat had sunk until the deck was nearly level with the water ; and it appeared too probable that all would toon be swallowed up by ihc learning waves. The heaving o th load indicated an ap proach to thu ft lfre. Soon wat tbc cbetr tne intelligence pi landl landl announced hv thoic on the look out.. Thts, hramb mcnt, aroused tho sinking energies of t j nll, when a general bustle ensued. wjruuv inning .preparations that could be makle for safety, as soon as the tbat should strike.
