It is not deemed advisable fur Crook's and Terry’s forces to unite previous to a move by one or the other of the commands, a* it is thought that the Indians would make a stand against one of the columns, and that by arraying them, and having the other column reserved to either tight or follow up, something decisive may In' expected during the Hummer campaign.

In the urea is n portal; in the plot above the tower are four trees laden with fruit, with representative ottir.ons of 1 ! celestial land, enjoying themselves with- their grateful shade. The tower is hex agnunt and slightly pyramidal. At each ilge In u round suppnrl, running from top i bottom.

Commodore Garner and I iin- diatly jumped into the cabin, where heard the Indies calling for help. Everything was in the wildest state of confusion. All tho sofa*, Hotteo*, chair* and table* had been thrown over to tho IcchUIo, and overturned, and water wa* pouring in through the forward hatch way, and from the Hide light* on the port side and from the cockpit. Tho first person I saw wns Ml** May, who wa* still in an upright position, clinging on to lira fireplace. I crept along to where *ho was, and caught hold of her, and we made our way over the general wreck of cabin furniture until we got to tho after hatchway; hut the vessel being on her beam ends Mis* May was unable to get up tho stop*. I pushed her up through the opening, where Mr. Howland gal lantly tOMOUed lifer, ho being at the tune ut tlie entrance of the cabin opening. I immediately turned round nnd made my way through the water, which was then nearly waist deep, to the *ido of Mr. Montant, who was struggling to remove the sofa that had been t hrown ovor on the leesido, covering both Mr*. Garner and Mis* Hunter, who were loudly call ing for help. When I reached them Mr. Garner hud hold ol Mr*. Garner by tho right arm, and both she and Miss Hunter were begging that they might he relieved from the weight that was holding them down. Mr. Montant and I succeeded in getting tho lounge to the after hatchway, where we pushed it up to Home one on deck. I then lost Higlil of Mr. Montant. Returning to where Mrs. Garner and Miss Hunter were, 1 still found Mr. Garner holding on to Mrs. Garner’s arm and both she and Miss Hunter still begging to he released from this weight that was holding them down. 1 caught hold of Mis* Hunter’s hand—in the iiieuntimo the water was rushing in from all sides—and tried to pull her out, tho water lasing nearly up to her neck, she being wedged in only a few feet from where Air. Garner was in the same position. In trying lo pull her out my hand slipped, and I fell over backward in the water. When I re covered myself tho water Imd completely covered her. I then went to Mrs. Gnr- icr’s assistance, when Mr. Garner rx- luimed, “Hchuylor, for God’s suko try and help me pull her out.” I caught hold of her left hand and arm, Mr. Gar ner still having hold of her right. In the meantiumi sailor, who with Mr. r and myself were tho only men the cabin, tried to remove some of the furniture that was evidently hold ing her down, while Mr. Garner and myself pulled as hard as we could to extrleato her, but to no purpose. Just then the vessel seemed (ogive an extra lurch, and tho water washed all over us. This was the last that I saw of Mr. and Mrs. Garner alive. I half pushed, half swain to a light spot, which proved to he. an opening cut by the boatswain through one of the side lights, and crawl ing through the hole I found tho sailor who Imd been in Lira cabin with me just before me. We both swam to a small boat that had three men in it, but in trying to get in this boat she wns swamped, ami us she eame bottom up I citing to the keel, together with the other man, until I saw a boat from the Droadnatighl approaching, wlileli I swam over toward, when an oar was thrust out hy one of the sailors, which 1 grab bed hold on. They pulled me into the boat in a very exhausted condition.

It h said that the last word* of Mr. Garner, when the water poured in upon him, and a sailor reached through tho broken skylight of the deck and caught him hy the hand, beseeching him to come out, was: “No, I can’t go ; I must stay hy my wife.” FACTS AND FANCIES. ” I*A,” said a little fellow to his nit shaven father, “ your chin look* like tho wheel in the imtsio box."
