A Tale of the Sea.

RESCUED BY AN ISLAND VESSEL.

On the 5th August the fishing smack ‘* Sharon,’ 15 tons, owned and commanded by Capt. Leake, left Noank,,,Conn., on a lobster fishing cruise. All went well, and on the 6th inst., the island of No'Man’s Land was reached, her usual}fishingjground. Here the business of fishing was prosecuted with vigor, and the lobsters being plenty, the catch was large. In a few days the smack was loaded and read yffor,thegreturn home. Preparations were made for the re- turn voyage, and everything bespoke a speedy trip home of the smack after a profit- able and quick cruise.

About 8 p. m. of the 18th inst. a fearful gale sprang up, and all haste was made to get the anchor and get under way fora harbor. ‘The ‘‘Sharon” began to drag and the anchor was got with the intention of making for Tarpaulin Cove, Martha’s Vine- yard, for a safer harbor and better anchor age. While under way, and abeut half way up to Gay Head, the jib blew away. This was about 11 p.m. ‘The wind then hauled northwest, and as they were minus a jib they could not fetch Gay Head. They then wore ship and put to sea, and all went well until about 1.30 on the morning of the 19th, when a sudden gust rent the mainsail and a portion of it was carried away. The vessel was then kept scudding with the

‘foresail and the remnant of the mainsail,

and about daylight of the 19th two vessels were sighted behind, running under hare poles. A signal of distress was then run up and kept flying, but no assistance was rendered, as the two vessels did not apparently notice the signal. The foresail was accordingly lowered so as to permit them to come up with the “Sharon” more rapidly, but the vessel would not keep ahead of the sea, which broke over her with great violence and washed the captain overbeard. He for- tunately caught hold of and clung to a por- tion of the wreck that was hanging over the side, and with some trouble and danger was rescued from a perilous position by the crew. The foresail was then set to keep her ahead of the sea and prevent it from breaking over her. She kept on, and about 8 a. m. the schooner “‘ Victor” (P. E. L.), Piggot, from Barbados to St. John with sugar, was fallen in with to the lee- ward. The signal was still flying, and al- though a heavy sea was running, a boat manned by the mate of the ‘‘Victor,” Mr. Williams, John McDonald and Alex. Mc- Donald, put off te the assistance of the “Sharon” and her crew. Capt. Leake, Joseph Smith. of New Bedford, and C. B. Cartwright, of Sag Harbor, L. I., were taken on board the ‘‘Victor,” and the ill- ee, was abandoned in lat. 40 22 N., long. 68 W. The ‘‘Sharon” was leaking at the time, and was not considered safe. Her crew were landed yesterday morning at this pert by the ‘‘Victor.” The American Consul has taken charge of the men and will forward them to their homes.

Capt. Leake and crew beg to thank Capt. Piggott and the crew of the ‘*Victor” for kind treatment received at their hands while on board. The crew of the ‘‘Sharon” saved nothing but what they stood in. She was 25 years old and hailed from Ston- ington.

Summerside Notes.

Aveust 26, 1879.

On Thursday last an execution was given to one of our policemen to serve on & man from the country who happened to be in town transacting some business. The policeman seized the countryman’s horse in the stable to satisfy the execution, and took him to another stable and gave him to the hostler in charge, with instructions to give the horse to no one without permission from him, but made no arrangements as to how long the horse was to remain or upon what terms the animal was to be stabled. The horse was placed in a stable by the hostler, who after doing so went to attend to some other business. Upon his return to the stable the horse had vanished. Where? He did not know. It appears that the countryman, not liking the way he had been treated, and not being able to pay the debt, watched where the hors had been placed and, during the absence of the hos- tler, quietly walked into the stable and took possession of the animal, leaving town befere anyone was aware of the fact. The horse has been advertised for sale; but who is to produce him when the sale takes place? The policeman thinks he has done his share of the work and that the owner of the stable has to‘produce him, while on the other hand the owner of the stable says he knows nothing about it, not having seen the horse. Here the matter rests at pres- ent.

On Friday nigh last one of these ‘‘little times,” for which our town is noted, took place in a house occupied by a Frenchman named Gallant. The guests were all invited and the fun had re. with a thing working in peace and harmony unti about ten aa. At this hour quite a number arrived who were not among the invited, and forced their way in, determined to have some of the sport. As far as can be ascertained, the uninvited part- ies had considerable of the ardent with them, which soon began to make them feel very happy indeed. They soon tired of the Frenchman’s hospitality, and to enliven the proceedings they commenced pushing each other about, the result being that some fif- teen or twenty panes of glass, together with the sashes, were smashed. On Mon-

day morning Gallant had thirteen of his’

visitors brought up before the Stipendiary

istrate, charged with the offence Some oftthe parties were fined from $4.00 to $8.00. stated.

The yacht Emma, owned by several Charlottetonians, arrived here last Thurs- day and sailed again on Saturday morn- ing.

Three er four cases of diphtheria are re

perted in town. :
