When Captain Sony told his crew there was but one thing left for them to do— •tear for Angieaea—the worn-out men plied the oars with renewed vigor and after a fierce and terrible straggle, these sturdy braves succeeded in lauding, altho' •oar of their number waa in auch condition «s made it ueoeaaary f or them to be Carried In.

Certain death—to die by roasting, to die by drowning, to die by fretzlugwhich shall I choose, seemed to the horrified landsmen who on Monday night watched *lhe burning schooner off coast, lire complex juration maddening the brain of the iaiperiW seamen on that fated ship.
