We were on 00 account to come off before dusk from the shore, for though the Federal cruiser bad met with some dam- age to ber machinery, and was in harbour and under repairs, a suspicious steamer had been espied ‘to seaward, and it was ramoured that the San Jacinto was off the coast. | See- ing taatd ‘was not alone, the skipper would have. retired, but | begged him to stay, and introdué¢ed the padre with a brief statement of the latter's misfortunes, and a hint that it would be a ¢haritable act to carry him safe- ly back to the mainland.

Mr. ‘Lrent’s niece was not the only one on beard whose hopes and affections centered in the land towards which our prow now pointed. ‘The breeze was steady, and the Saucy Jane, shgbtly heeling over in response to ity welcome breath, flew through the water at a rate that proved how well she deserved her reputation as a fast sailing craft. Still the utmost caution was preserved. No lights wereshown. Captain Harrison conned the sehooner himself, nor did his vigilance appear to relax, until, more than an hour after we bad left our moorings, he laid his hand familiarly on iay shoulder, saying, ‘ All right now, Mr. Phillips Do you see that faint blotch of crimson red-and yellow, the swoky light three miles off; no, moreto leeward? ‘hat ia the San Jacinto.

And, indeed, a more fortunate voyage, to all appearance, no vessel had ever made. Day after day the weather was beautiful, the sea smooth, and the winds, though light, stil] favourable. We saw no Federal cruisers. ['wice, indeed, we fell in with armed vessels, but these our scipper’s experienced eye reoog- nised as British ships of war, evea before they drew near enough for the red, white and blue of the Union Jack ty be visible bz means of our best glasses. And on one gul- try afternoon the cry of ** Land, ho!’ was raised, and the Southern exiles on board set up a cry of joy, and clapped their hands exultingly, for they knew that the low blue line, like a cloud bank, could be no other than the coast of South Carolina.

Somewhat to the disappointment of his lady passengers, however, the captain deelin- ed to sail into Charleston harbour, as he might easily have done before sunset that evening. lle knew too well that to make such an attempt would be to ran into the Jion’s mouth. We could see no Federal cruiser at that mowent, but they could be no doubt that many war yessels of every calibre and class, from the ferry-boat hastily armed with « brace of nine-inch Parrot guns, to the swift steam frigate, lay lurking among the nume- rous Islands that skirt the coast so thickly. It would have been folly to have run the gauntlet through the Yankee squadron in broad daylight, whereas by night the chance of eluding bustile eyes was an excellent one. Harrison knew the entranee to the harbour well ; bis memory for shoals and sand-banks, of channels and shallows, was remarkable, and one of his crew was a Charleston man born, and well qualified »o act as a pilut in his native waters.
