SOMMERSIDE NOTES.

Sommersips, Nov. 6th, ‘77...

x Ship, like a Man,is the worse for not being actively employed. Well, we started in ballast for Ch@riettetown, Prince Edward island, and atter being out a few days we evcountered terrific gales. I have been a seagoing man for mavy years,but the way it blew off the coast of Ireland, and even when we gotrid of the shore, was some. thing appaling.’ We contd not send a mar aloft, and the decks were washed with such a furious sweep that it was as much as a man’s life was worth tO ven- ture out of hatchwats. | have been off the coast of Labrador, where the cold nor’ westers sweep across | the waters, and also in the Mediterranean when the ga es blow from the sou’east and wrinkled the face of the sea, making it what we sailors call ‘ch p,’ but [ have never seen such nasty weather as the Maggie experienced during our voyage. When we were about eight days out, in the middle of the dog watch, when from sheer fatigue | had fal- len asleep, [ was startled by one of the sailors, whom [| knew as ‘ Charley,’ calling : —‘Captiin! Captain! we've sprung a leak.’ [ sprang on deck, sustaining myself ly ropes, and found that the alarm was not false. The sea was sweeping Over every~ thing; the scuppers were choked and the water was filling the cabins and galleys; one of the skylights was broken and there was a perfect deluge of water pouring in the opening. [ give my orders and soon the crew, six men were working gallantly atthe pumps. But the water seemed to gainon us, All that night, the next day and the next, those faithful fellows toiled —J think as much to save the ship as to save their lives.

work again. Remember, while these brave feliows were working at the pumps, the storm was raging, the sea was pouring in at every open piace, and there was no abatement of .the wind. I never realized before what a little raft a ship was until J found myself out in the raging sea on the brigantine Maggie. But it was no use; the water was giining 6n us, and as each day dawned and each night closed in upon us we found we were filling and it was only a question of time how long we could float. We hoisted signals of distress about the time, according to our dead reckoning, we were off the banks of Newfoundland, but we saw nothing but the dead waste of sea ~the cloudy, misty expanse of water on whice we were rolling like a log.

“But when we were in latitude 43 deg. north and longitude 53 deg. west, on the 22d of October, we sawa brig in the dis tance, and atonce (as far as we were able) bore down upon her, renewing our signals of distress. The vessel proved to be the * Sophia Cook,” of Halifax, commanded by Captain John Cook, ani as soon as we approached each other Captain Cook sent a boat on board to inquire into our condition. {t was deplorable enough. We were rap- idly filling, and there was danger of our going dovn every minute. The men were hungry and exhausted and almost fainting from their over-exertion. I do not think that two of them, Charley and Robt. Wills, could have endured the fatigue twenty- four hours longer. Our own boats were filled with water, and one of them was stove, so the boats of the * Sophia Cook” | (ook the crew off to the latter ship. This took about two hours. { remained with the ‘‘ Maggie’. until the !ast—indeed, un. til she was in danger-of going down—and then [ consented, at Captain Cook’s re- quest, to go on board of his brig. IL don’t know anything about the insurance on the ‘‘ Maggie,’”’ but I am under the impression that she Is..not insured. Of course we sailed away trom the sinking ship, and | have no doubt that now she is at the bot- tom of the sea,”
