“My name is William Pearce. I have
used theses for above eight-,and-twenty
years, hftve tailed in all lands of ships in
all sorts of capacities—boy, ordinary
seaman, sail-maker, bo’sun’s mate;
crossed the Atlantic seventeen times,

men of, the schooner Richard Warbrick
had to end ;jy> when the foundering of
that vessel obliged ns to take to the boat.
“Tho schooner sailed from Runcorn
with a cargo of coal for Plymouth. She
was twenty years old, and a trifle over a
hundred tons burden. There'were five
of a crow, and nothing particular hap¬
pened untjl we were abreast of the
Bristol Channel, when there blew up a
heavy gale of wind from the east’ard.
There’;; no call to describe it; it was of
the regular kind, full of wet, and raising
a sea r. sight too big for a vessel of one
hundred tons pretty nigh chock-a-block
with coal and with twenty years of hard
use in her hull. However, we scraped
through the gale, and two or three more
that followed fast, until one morqing we
were somewhere betwixt the Soilly Isles
and ihe Cornish coast. It was dark,
thick weather, blowing and raininer hard.
the sea rough, bitter cold—as you may
calculate it was, the month being Jan
nary—and everything invisible that was
more than half a mile off. The wind
was east and north, and we were ratehing
along under very small canvas, when,
being turned in, as it was my watch be
low, and the Land o’Nod close aboard,
I was roused up by a loud cry on deck
and a bemendous crash. I tumbled up
as fast as ever I could pelt, and found

used to the darkness. The daytime was
solid "■IMEMif ice. We couldn’t see one another
and that made talking a kind of foolish¬
ness; ahd so we never spoke—which
caused every one to feel himself the a lonely
man upon the sea. Likewise noise
of the water would sound stronger. In
the daytime I took no notice, but at
night I’d find myself listening to the
crying of the wind up in the dark, nqd
the hissing that rose all over the ocean
from the breaking of the waves.

look around, lads, and see if there’s any
thing in sight.’
“Thesea ran high, and made it dan
gerous lor any of us to stand up, for fear
of capsizing the boat; so we hung over
the gunwale, with our chins on a level
