'Iio weather was pleasant during tho 1 ier part of the day, but gro -v cloudy to- 1 da night, and the sea became very 1 jh. increasing as the night advanced. 1 next morning I awoke very early, and 1 so happy to think I would ho very l with iny darling husband. I looked from my window and saw land; I pad up and dressed myself and children 1 riedly, thinking the ship would bo in by ! time I could be prepared for meeting ' darling. Went on deck to sco if Apalicola was not in sight, when I was told . the ship had been put back and was 1 ) entering St. Joseph's Day. This was ' d disappointment to me, but I was botinlisded when the captain told tno ho forced to put tho ship hack because ' sea was too high to cross the bar at c St. Bias. Tho weather was pleasant , | ug this day and I was anxious that tho ain should go on, but the ship remained nchor all that day. On Saturday, when vokc, I felt quite certain that we were ! , in on our way, and was surprised when wned that tho wind was fust increasing j a gale, and that tho engine.) were work111 nriLif lit liriiVnnl itin vnuunl ?a. i " - 1 ? ? *??K"- | ashore. lie wind continued to increase all that , ai.d the cabin became quite wet from beating in of the rain and spray from sea, and soon there was not a dry place me to remain in. The captain advised to take tho bridal chamber, which I , , and soon got my two littlo darlings to p, and theif tried to scolc some rest; but to sleep. The wind continuing to inise, I now became much fiighteucd,and ged some one to remain with mo. All passengers went down stairs, and I relied in my state room as long as I could, tried to ho calm and composed. The , d was now blowing a terrible gale, it seemed each blast was vieing to outthe last. Oh! it was awful! I was told 1 Bvery one who came where I was there | dd be a change in the weather at l'J jck for tho better or the worse ? they I it could not bo much worse than it was i. Oh, dear sister, you know nothing lie horrors of a storm at sea. There I ained in my room, praying to my God paro me and my two littlo darlings. I rd a crash?luokod out of my door, saw that half of the upper cabin was pt off. I then rushed down stairs iritli littlo boy in my arms, threw him to 10 one, aud ran back for my dear little | tie. My servant, much to her credit, | ted out after mo with her. I seized my d and ran down. By this time tho re ningpart of the cabin was torn off. 'here were in all forty persons on board. . was just about to despair, when I saw ?ntleman with whom I was uiiacquaint oui uiero was something in in* tace chivalrous boating that gave mo con ; r.ce in him.

My I'll is very bad, hut I will do all in my rer." The ship was now so much on side that it was impossible to stand lout holding on to something. The light now broke out. This added tor to the scene, for we could then realize t terrible was our situation. There we awaiting our doom, I clinging to my ling boy, and hogging my God to spare Oh, my dear sister, then came a sight ?ver can forget. The whole side of the Ln in which I was gave way. The os rushed in and I carno near being lied off. My dear ami noble friend name is Col. Winchester, of VirginStiil held im little giii, and sought to ) me all the encouragement he could. . one hope was now left us. It was to into the stale-room that still remained, succeeded in reaching it. There was his room, besides myself, children and ant, Col. Winchester and a Swedish nan. I put my two children in the :h, and it was all I could do to hold n in, tho ship was so much ou her side, now clung to the window. It was so k I could nut see anything but the sparkle Iho sea water. As soon as tho Colonel out he found a rope ami gave it t) me ' told 011 to, and to which I clung from o'clock until 6 next morning, while ry wave that came would wash over me; what was worse than all, the broken her from the cabin door w as striking inst, bruising and cutting me. I held he ropo, which was attached to the n. My servant had tho Swedish woi wore also then holding to tho ropo. f i Colonel stayed by mo some time, ami I me what I must do, and urged mo not mid too tight?I would not lio able to 1 on long if I did; thai i roust tighten grasp before and relax it after each i e would come. I am now going to tell something which will make your blood Cold; In the midjt oi nil my danger I rd a man cry out,''Take this child, or I throw it ov iboard?I can't save mymuch less it!" )h, my darling sister, can you imagine feelings? The thought of that speech ;es mo shudder as I write. The Colorisked his life again by letting go of rope, and went after the man who held j lie. The Colonel told him "lie would his throat if he threw the child over." t was nil I heard. I shut my eyes. I did not open them nil night. I ight both my lilllo darlings were >wn overboard. Now the Colonel couhl j get back to me?the water would have lied him oil had he attempted it. There is left, hanging on tlio side of the ship, i no ono by mo but my servant. Oh! impossible for 1110 to describo the torof that night. There I clung to tlio , ', thinking every ono was drowned, that every wave would sweep me 1 y. Then a large pieco of timber struck several times, and stunned mo so I forgot whore I was, nnd I let my hold, but fortunately caught hold j ho rope again before the next wave , i ck me. It OAine very near dragging ; < off. Then some ono cried out "We i going to *ea! we are turning the point!" < My first impulse was to jump overboard?
