HAMILTON 9 JOURNAL.
Amidst the Breakers.
I never was in belter spirits limn
on the morning when I left Shanghai-.
I was then captain of the good ship,
Morning Glory, bound from that
port to London, with a cargo of tea.
The vessel was a line clipper, well
found, and in good trim; so I never
felt more confident of making a rapid
passage than on that day wo cast of!'
the tug at Woosung and ran past
Saddle Island, with a fresh eight knot
breeze, down the China Sea. I had
only two passengers with me —Mrs.
Clifford, the wife of an English mer
chant at Ningpo, and her daughter,
a little eunny-baired child, who soon
became a groat favorite with all on
board. All weut well until we were
off Turnabout, when the wind fell
light, and for several days we made
but little progress.
When I came on deck one morn
ing, I was surprised to find the roy
als and topgalhint sails stowed,
though it was a dead calm, and the
crew busily erapleyed reefing preven
ter-braces and doubly securing every
thing movable.
“What’s the matter Jackson?” I
inquired, as the chief officer came j
towards me.
“I think its gohig 'to blow hard,
captain; the mercury’s all of a quiver
in the barometer—the birds fly high
and are making for land. I’ve seen
those signs before in these seas, and
know a typhoon’s coining on pretty
shortly,” lie replied.
I commended hi* forethought, and,
urging him to get everything snug hs
quickly as possible, went below to as
certain, ns accurately as I couid, the
j vessel’s position.
Clouds gradually gathered over
head and at eight bells in the after
noon tlie first installment of wind
came, in short, fitful gusts, from near
ly opposite points of the compass.
Presently the clouds opened, and a
torrent of rain poured down, while
the wind increased in violence tili it
blew a heavy gale.
T 1 ic hatches were tighty battened
down, alt satis I'urled except the three
close-retied topsails an l line course;
and I put lie right belore the wind,
to endeavor to run out of the cinde
of the storm. N ght came on, and
then the iud fury of the tempest burst
upon us. To see was impossible, for
the rain dtove horizontally along, cut
ting to our very skins —to hear, btill
mo.e so, for the howling of the war
riug elements deafened us completely.
Groaning and quivering, the good
ship bore bravely on, now rising high
on Mie crest of a mountaiuous billow,
anon pluuging deep into an abyss of
darkness, torn which she again enter
ged foaming and snorting likeja met
tlesome steed. The crew drenched
to the skin, were crouching under
t lie lee of the weather Bulwarks; and
I was firmly lashed to the mizzan-rig
ging, under shelter of a tarpaulin.
Still the hurricane raged with in
creasing violence. I could not close
liaul the vessel for want of sea-room
on the starboard hand ; and I knew
we should get into the inner circle
of the typhoon —the point most to be
dreaded—if we lay to on the off
shore tack. The topsails blew out of
the bolt-ropes w ith a roar like thun
der ; the fore-brace parted, and the
yard came crashing down on deck.
One huge wave broke over the stern,
while another struck the vessel lull
on the broadside, flinging her on her
beam-ends iu the trough of the sea,
where she lay moaning like a van
quished giant.
“ Cut away the mizzen-roast,” I
roared through my speaking-t ru;npet.
Jackson, thau whom a Letter sailor
never trod a plank, obeyed my order
promptly ; one stroke ol his axe sev
ered a shroud Lardyard of the mizzeit
rigging and the lower mast, snap
ping short off belgyv tire top, tell into
ih boiling ocean to leeward. Still
the vessel lay over on her side, and
the sea making a complete breach
over her.
“Mainmast, now ! ’’ I shouted, and ;
soon the mast went close by the deck,
carrying with it the foretopmast—
and, alas! Jackson and ten brave fel
lows who bad become enmeshed in
the entangled cordage that swept the
deck.
The vessel righted on her keel; and
the remainder of the crew and mystnf
used every effort to save our hapless
companions, but without atari, and
they sank to rise no more.
I was now iu momentary expecta
tion of the vessel foundering, for the
iiclur was useless; waves, nmu..*

tain high, were breaking over her,
•nd ihi spars to leeward were dash,
ing like battering-nuns against her
sides, threatening to slave her in.
But all was not yet lost; there game
a lull, followed by another whistling
blast, then a lull again, and the rain
ceased. This betokened that the fu
ry of the storm was spent, that the
center Imd passed, aud that ere long
a 1 would be over.
At last the welcomed dawn arriv
ed, so, bidding the second mate set
at once about clearing the debris, I
descended to the cabin for the pur
pose of visiting Mrs. differed, who I
knew nilist need consolation. I found
tiie courageous woman seated in a
corner where she had wedged her
self, calmly reading the form of pray
er “to be used at sea,’’ while her
child lay peacefully slumbering in
her lap.
As I entered she rose and took
both my hands.
“ Capt. Downes, you gool, brave
man, tell me truly, is there any hope ?
I can bear to hear the worst, though
the thought of my poor little Edith
unnerves me,’’ she said, gently.
“The weather is moderating, ma
dam ; we are in the hands oi Provi
dence but Mis mercy mercy may be
I extended to us; tlie greatest danger
is now past, so bear up and have ev
! cry hope,’’ I replied.
I was peering over a chart in my
cabin, when the second mate called
hurriedly to me to come on deck.
“Breakers to leeward, sir!’’he
cried, excitedly, as I emerged from
the hatchway.
I looked in the direction h“ indi-
e tied, anil saw a iuug lino of foam
stretening out on onr lee, w liile the
roar ot Jue.i ing si rg s fell distinctly
on mv ear. The sea was still running
high, though the wind had died en
tirely away ; and I soon perceived that
the current was bearing us swiftly
toward land. Nearer sail we drifted ;
j and then I recognized our position.
The most dangerous rocks in the
China Sea, a group know as the Pra
tas, were to leewurd ; and wo were
utterly tumble to navigate our disa
bled vessel, i r to ward off the late
that seemed pending over us. The
I etew showed im! >mi'abl courage,
exhibiting the greatest alacrity, am!
j striving hard, by promptly obeying
j my orders, to worn the vessel off
shore; bu. sagged steadily to leeward,
and 1 saw time all chance of saving
the vessel was gone for ever.
“Get the life-boat ready, my lads;
quick, for your lives ! Dou’t forget
provisious, air. Cooper,” 1 said, as I
hurried below.
Mrs. Clifford met me at the foot of
the stairs, and read the uew trouble
iu my face.
“You must come iu the boat. Cive
me Edith. Keep calm, I beg,” I ex
claimed plucking a quilt from a bed
and wrapping it round her, while I
took the child in mv arms,
“ I will, I will! But, oh, preserve
my child!’’ she cried; then she
mounted with firm step to the deck.
We were very near to the rocks
now terribly near —and I saw Mrs.
Clifford’s cheek blan th as her quick
eye took in the danger at a glance;
but I placed her safely iu the bout
with Edith. The crew took their
places oiderly ; Cooper and I lowered
them to the water, the tackles were
unhooked, and the boat floated clear
of the vessel’s side. Then I leaped
overboard the second mate followed,
the crew picked us up, and we were
soon using our every endeavor to
weather, the shoal where on the
the Morning Glory shortly struck
and went utterly to pieces.
The life-boat had been terribly
Etramed by the waves which broke
over, when oir the vessel’s deck, and
the water gurgle i in at many a yawn
ing scam, so that half the crew were I
constantly employed iit bailing her
out. The sea still ninniug high, j
shook her much, and I began to leaf
that she would not float i*ng as we
had rather more than her compliment
in her; therefore I consulted Cooper
as to w hether it would not Ire Letter
to pull to leeward of the Pratas, and
endeavor to land upon the island in
the rear. He agreed with me;
so we put that plan into execution,
and before nightfall ran the boat be
tween two rocks into siill water, and,
though not without much difficulty,
succeeded in effecting a landing.
We fashioned a tent out of the
boat sad for Mi s. Clifford’s accommo
dation, and kept a regular lookout
for vessels in the trope of being res
cued. There was plenty of fresh
watfei iu the deep t ools and fissures
t f i lie rocks, but our scant stock of
provisions soon disappeared; and
then we hid to use biciie-deiner —m
edible zeophite—shell-fish, and gulls’
eggs, which abounded on the little
island, for lood,
A fortnight had passed awav, and
still no friendly sail had greeted our
sight. The usual diet and exp< sir e 'o
lire wear her—which was extremely
hot —told upon us; and in our wan
faces and attenuated forms the happy
crew of the Morning Glory could
scarcely have been recognized. Then
four of our number vohmteerel to
take tlie boat, which we had been tin
able to repair for want of materials,
and endeavor to resell Ilong Ko< g,
from whence assistance could he sent *
us. Full of hope, they started on
their mission, one beautiful morning,
hearing with them our heartfelt pray
ers for their success; but, alas! they
never reached land—tlie boat was
found bolioin-up by a steamer, aud
that was how the report ot our total
loss got circulated.
We remain*d on the Pratos six
weeks, at the end of which time a
trading-junk, noticing our signals,
sent a sampan oft’, took us on hoard,
aud carried ns lo Tat-uau, on the
island of Formosa, win-re we recti'v
od much warm attention from the
Brinish consul who -forwarded us to
I long Kong.
A Sweet Farewell.
There is nearloy always a gtiin sar
casm, iiidicaiing sourness of temper,
iu a suicide’s good bye to the world,
enemies and friends. Miss ,1 ulia jHich
el’s farewell messages were!) it of th s
J class. They were pecu'inly sivee’
and touching, and showed the young
la ly to have possessed a beautiful
character. They almost excused her
going as she did, rashly out of the
world, and fall tendci'y as a dying
loir 1 sen ; on the ear.
Julia Siohul was a beautiful, bright
aud accomplished yoiliig lady of t w en
ty-one summers, and lived w ith her
parents and four or five brothers and
sisters in Sun Francisco. Mie loved
a young mui named iienj. Meinmun
oi Sacramento, and was no. ashamed
to own it, aii.li.,ugh Stciuumu, f n
some reason, cj ml i.u,, or did nut re
turn her love. Tills MUmlmn of her
heart atiair Was Uncivil at home, him
Julia’s m >sl inurunlu lricuds had no
idea (hat she \va. so terribly in ear
liest. She was interested iu her fam
ily I'i'la; ions, and maintained good
sp bits, sweetened the home cup ol life
as long as she lived. On a late Sat.
urday m Tiling her father and mother
went to their synagogue to attend ser
vices at eleven o’clock, leaving Julia
and the lest of their young family
at home. On their return they found
Julia dead iu her room. Strychnine.
On her table was a newspaper,
which had been received that mor
ning. Within its folds was a slip of
paper, on which w-as written:
’’Your’s received. Have come to
the conohnion it wasJiest, for the
present, to cease our correspondence
With regards to.all, I remain yours,
Bun.”
This was doubtless the stab iliat
reached her heart’s cote, and poison,
as a healing remedy, was at hand.
A letlerwas found superscribed as
follows: ’’Julia’s last words to her
father, mother, si biers and brothers.
It ran

addressed to her ei-tir:

No young girl ever left tho world
with a sweeter song ot purity and
love on her lipsthan did Ju'ii Silolicl.
There was not a smothered reproach
or a mingled regret in her parting
from friends and that love which in
flicted tho death wound. The dying
message sounds like an invitation to
join her in the heller land.

Lutter from Our ML Airy
Com'si>:ii(bnl.
Mt, Airy, July, 1876
Da A u Journal: — My long absence
from your columns has not tieen the
result of negligence, so much as tli.it
of cue and toil. The old add,age of
“Ho who by the plow won! I tUrf.e,
Must either liolil hlmtelf, or il ivv.”
has been literally fulfilled tins .wa-on
in this part of the county, and in
many cases, we have In Id and driven
too. The result is, except wo have
been rather dry for several days, a
good crop prospect, taking every
thing into consideration. “But Paul
may plant and Apoilns may water,
out it is God that giveth tho in—
crease,’’ Yet, when we have made an
honest effort, we are justified in ex
pec ing some reward—“bread lo the
eater, and seed to the sower.”
The harvest is ovor; the wheat was
inj nod by tho rust, und also, the
Spring sowing of oats. Tho fail oats
were fine, the yield abundant, and
I think the planters in thi- communi
ty have at last learned the all impor
taut lesson of fall sowing of oats, and
the rust proof variety. These two,
are the most important considei a ions
in oat growing in this country, for
they are almost sure success.
Politically, we are somewhat di
vided, and yet, so far as we are con
cerned in the sharing of Gubernato
rial honors, I think either of the
most prominent candidates would
trivc satisfaction, when the choice of
the people is expressed through the
proper tribunal. Give ns a Constitu
tional Convention; let us roviso and
curtail offices; diminish salaries; rk
tkknuii and reform ! With New
York—sß,ooo,ooo reform in otic gu
bernatorial let in. Surely the expens
es of Georgia might he reduced so
much as to somewhat lighten the
burden of heavy taxation, which so
heavily press upon the people. Wo
are of the opinion that the einminent
qualifications, and very efficient ser
vices of our Representative in Con
gress, from ’■'lifts" District, coupled
with the benilii of experience, make
it dangerous at least, to the general
good of our State, and perhaps to the
whole South, to make any change.
What say you ?
Give us good honest, efficient offi
cers, from Governor to Constable—
administer justice w ithout dissimula
tion—reduce salaries—curtail expan
ses in all departments of government
county, State and Federal, then you
inspire confidence, sl.imiliUe energy,
lessen the burden ol taxation, briug
reasonable compensation to the la
borer, and prosperity to the country.
Yours, truly, Mt. Airy.
To tin Methodist of Harris and
Mutscoger.
Dear Brethren —The Bigham
Camp-meeting commences on Friday
night before the 4th Sunday in Au
gust. A few faithful lent holders
have stood by mid sustained this
Encampment, and G id’s blessings
has rested on them and the nice ing.
They should not be allowed to hear
all the burdens. When we thought
to move it the people said, '‘let it re
main, we will rally to it, build tents
etc. What say Harris and Musco
gee now ? “Who is on the Lord’s
side?” Who will build ? The in.
vimtion is to all, Methodist, Baptist,
Presbyterians, Episcopalian*, Jew
and Gentile. I'ieaso confer with
Judge Bigger*, Rev. L. G. Wiggins,
or Messrs. Burt, Hines, Pitehtord
aud White.
The District Conference meets at
the Central Gamp tAround, August
17 —22. Wednesday, the 2fltli of
July, is set apart for public work on
the grounds. All persons willing to
aid, or wanting to secure ground on
easy terms should be present on that
day. '1 ho 4,500 Methodist of this
District, with the liberal aid extend
ed by others, can build up the Big-
haut. Duller and lied B"tie Camp
grounds, and spare enough assistance
to make (he Central Dial. Camp
ground the most attnic ive, best sus
tained, most profitable Encampment
in Georgia. Aside from the re-igi
ous beuifit., the social reunion once a
/ear, would pay a handsome divi
dend. If any should say “I am not
able,” I answer them truly “aide”
never, or seldom, build Campground.
Gamp grounds, like many other
good things, are the product ol pray
erful, patient, self-denial. Eight out
of ten are able to tent, provided they
are able to deny themselves. In this
case the dust or denial is better cur
rency than rag or hard money. Who
will m ike a small sacrifice for God,
