My larger signai, tou,. continued to drift tme nearer to her tmk, aid took me almost out of sight of rmy two'coipanionls. When within about two or three miles of .s, and #lbout an hour and a half after she first - hove in sIght, we were relieved by her backing her sails, altering her eeurse, and laying to for a while, then Boisting a signal on her spanger galf sh put about ai-d bore away, (in and on ihr in the distande on the opposite tack until my heart began to fail *gairi.doubting, whethersnae was beat Ing to windward for us, or had gone tin her way rejoiceing in th discove.y and regue of only a portion of 'the vurttnate wretches withing range of her,- But,-aainyhow light and buov. ast was the joy as ohe at last put about and standing directly for us; oi and un she advanced like'a saving angel, until we could see her noble looking hull distinctly rise and fall within lit tie over a mile distant friom us, when ashe backed her sails again, and waited for some time in prosecutitn of her mnission of mercy, no doubt, relieving some of our hcattering companions foin a like precarious state. Soon she tilled away again, and at last laying to close by the two firemen, I saw her boat lowered with five men in it, who, picking up the two firemen In their course, came diashing along direct for my rafl, and soon houneig alongside, I allowed myself to tuible aboard oft hem, unable physically to adopt anything of a graceful action, k and morally overpowered with grati tude to- God and to those his instrn ments.. 1iremained speechless itntil I got on board the ship. Pefore getting on board,. however, the boat went away fdr some distance to wind ward, and picked up tihe three other liiemen, who I had seen leave the Arctic, but who had been ever since out of view. We all got huddled upon the deck somehow, although rather awkwardly, and making my way down to her neat, little cabin, as well as my stiff feet t and legs would allow, I had the pleas i ure of paying my respects to Captain John Russell, and found myself on board the ship Cambria. of Greenock, bound from Glascow to Quebec. Capt. Russell, Rev. Mr. Walker, of the Free Churech of Scotland, and his very k-nd and attentive lady, Mr. Sather land, of Caithnesshlire in Scotland, M. John McNaught, and several of the passengers of the steerage, paid every I atntion that I could ha% e desired C zEussell giving me up the berth 'which he had been using himself; and putting everything on board in requi. c sition that night tend in the least to relieve and make uscotifortable. t I was surprised to learn that the old Frenchman, whom we had picked up from the Vesta, was our good genius on this occasion. Being directly in the track of the approaching Cambria, he was picked up by the second mate of the Cambrin. Mr. Ioss, jumping overboard with a line, and seizisig hold of the man, they were I both pulled on board, and the rescued c Frenchman, in the best English he could muster, made Capt. Rtumsell aware that others were near, who then went to the masthead and with his glass made out thme other four pieces of wreck, which we were all on, and making his long tack to windward, 4 .came back in the midst of'us, piening up first, from that half round piece of wreck that I saw burst above the sur. face at the time of the ship) going un. der, Capt. Luce, Mr. George F. Allen, of the Novelty Works, and a young German, a passenger on the Arcetic, by the name ofkFerdinand Kaye. Tlhey, , along with eight others of those who went down with the ship, had gained this piece of wvreek, which turtned out to be a segment of one of the pado 1 boxes, and, singular as it .seems, Capt. Luce, who had stuck by his sinkinig ship to the Iast minute, was thtus saved ~at last on the ver y boards which as commander- were his post of dutty; practically his post of duty saved him. fhe same thing, however, had causedi the death of an ititeresting sotn, by striking or fulling on him as it burst above water. The eight others, who ha~d gained it with-them, had fronm timte to timie per. iskied on it, and Mr. Kayc was ontt hle ' pint of making the ninth; when the] CJambria hove itn sight lie had becomie almost a lutnatic from extrerne thirst, from 4%ting biscuit soaking in sea wa ter, tand attempted to qjueunch it by blood sucked frotm veinis of his arm I opened with his penknifei, and attempt. ing to drown himself several times, he ( had-beent prevented by Capt. Luce and Mr. Allen, until longer endurance seemed impossible with him when the Cambria appeared. Mr. Allen too,1 although saved himself, had too tmch reason to fear the loss of his wife and several other relatives, who were on hoard with him andi whom hie saw piaoed. on thme raft~ of spars before the 3 ship went under.
