For some days her Majesty's old frigate, the Nonpareil, had beeu bat? tered about by ono of those tremen? dous cyclones that aro so frequent in the Indiau Ocean at the change of the Monsoon. However, by a know? ledge of the law of storms, we were enabled eventually to sail out of it, and get ouce more iuto fine weather. It was just at this time that the man at tho mast-bead reported a wreck in sight. Haviug made sail, and altered the course so as to bear down upon her, it was not long be? fore we were near enough to lower a boat for the purpose of boarding her. Foi' this operation I was se? lected, and a difficult matter it was. Tho dismasted wreck, which ap? peared to havo been a bark, was roll? ing frightfully, by reasou of her having no sails to steady her. Con? sequently, it was nqt withoyt very great difficulty and much risk of be? ing swamped, that wo were enabled to get on board ber at all. Once there, it was a hard matter to keep one's footing. It was a dismal sight, lier decks had been swept by the sea, her boats were gone, and she had a desperate hole in ber side, made by the falling masts. Here and there, still hanging to the tan? gled wreck of rigging which yet en? cumbered the te m pest-toss cd hull, fluttered long strips of strong can? vas. These strips or shreds, many of them lashed by the fury of , the winds into hard, incomprehensible knots, were all that now remained of those good stout sails of hers that stood through many an Atlautio gale. Towing in the sea from her star? board quarter was that which told a sadder tale. It was the bow of a boat, the rest stove in and battered to pieces. Possibly she had been crushed by some towering sea before, with her living freight, she could get clear of the ship's side. At all events, her destruction must have terribly lessened tho few chances of escape left to the orew, for merchantmen are never adequately supplied with boats. The whole of the vessel's bulwarks had been swept away, and every sea now washed in at one side, across the deck in torrents, and out at the other, with each alternate roll. She was leaking very much, and, the leak being just at the water-line, os she sank deeper in the water she filled moro and more rapidly. It was evident that she was setting down fast, and it was quite uncertain at what moment she might sink. Being nnwilling to risk the lives of my men, I sent them back into their boat, with orders to keep as near the vessel as possible, while I continued the aeu?cn ?or any o? the crew or passengers who might have been left on board. On entering tho saloon, I was nearly overpowered by the fumes arising from a large headless cask of mm that stood in the door-way. From this, it was clear that the cow? ardly crew, iu their fierce despair, had broken through all restraint, and, like ?o many other undisciplned men in similar situations, had sought courage in drinkng savgoly. But this was not the worst feature in the case. At tho cud of tho sa? loon I observed an old man sitting j apparently fast asleep, his face buried in his arms as they rested on the table. I hastened to awake him, and shook him by tho shoulder But he gave no sigus of life. I then lifted np his head, cold to my touch, and turned his face to the light. Heavens, what n sight! His blood? shot eyes met mine with a dull, glassy store; his face, pale and wan, was foo rf ally emaciated, aud from his mouth protruded a black, shrivlled up tongue. Ho was dead (?tone dead. His must have been a fearful death, caused by starvation and thirst. Star? vation? "Was not tho floor strewn with bisouits and tius of preserved meats thrown here and there, in the haste and confusion of stocking the boats prior to tho hurried abandon? ment of the vessel? On a swinging tray, not two yards from his head, there yet remained untouched a clear ?loss jug of bright cool water, and a decanter full of red wine. How, then, was thirst possible? Yet no? thing but the bitter agony of thirst conto BO have parched that tongue. Nought but the cruel pangs and cravings of unsatisfied hunger could thus have -withered that once strong, handsome face, and turned that thick, young hair to the snowy white? ness of age. But how-how coidd these things be? . The mystery was soon solved. Looking down at his wrists, I per? ceived, from under the sleeves of his I pilot-cloth jacket, the bright steel 1 rims of a pair of handcuffs. The short chniu connecting them was fas? tened down to the table by a stout iron staple driven through, nnd clenched on the uuder sido. His feet wore similarly secured to the deck. This, then, was doubtless the fiend? ish work of his drunken and muti? nous crew; for, to all appearance, ho was the captain. He probably had forbidden their abandouiug the ves? sel, knowing that she could have been saved, (as indeed she might well have been;) and they, having taken the management into their own hands in their cowardly drunken hu? mor, had thus prevented his ever leaving the vessel. Tho edge of the table had becu guawed aud bitten, and the oil-cloth that covered it was oaten away as far as the poor wretch could get at it. His left arm bore the marks of his teeth, where ho had sought to as? suage with his own blood the burn? ing thirst that was killing him. Both wrists were blnck and swollen with his writhings to get free from the cruel irons that so firmly restrained him from seizing the food which lay everywhere arouud, aud the clear, cold water that stood so near, ami which together were his very life. Think of that starving man, sitting watching the rats at his feet gorging themselves on the food that ho was dying for waut of, with tho sun's ray? streaming through tho sky-light upoi tho decanter of ruby wine, inakior. liquid-lookiug purple lights danci upon the table before him, os if it bitter mockery of his fearful thirst Think of him dying of drought, wit! his longing, upturned eyes eagerly fixed on that delicious, sparkling water that hung within a few feet o his poor parched lips. Think of hi: last dying, starving moments dis turbed by tho incessant rattling nm rolling of those canisters of food touching him even as they rollei backward and forward across tin floor of the cabin with every motioi of the vessel. Think, in short, o the agony of a man dying for wan of that which is at his feet. Thos< who have never known real hunge nor thirst, cannot conceive the suffer ings of that mau thus starving ii tho midst of plenty. There were ominous sounds o burstings of pent-up air in the hoi of the vessel, which confirmed m, suspicious that the wreck could nu float many minutes longer, so I has tened on deck. I hailed tho cuttei which was lying off at a little dif tance, to corno alongside, and I ha hardly done speaking when tho bar suddenly lurched over and fell on he broadside. This rendered it impo: sible for the boat to come alongside and whilst she was pulliug round t tho stern, from whence I could hav dropped into her, I felt the wrecke vessel stagger two or three timei there came the usual rush of win bursting up the hatch-ways, thei with a mighty plunge, she sank t rise no more, and I found myse struggling for life in the hissing sei For an instant I battled with tl fierce waves that dashed in my fae at the same time blinding and chol ing me; and then the whirl-po caused by the ship's sudden su! morsion, drew me with overwhelr. ing strength into its angry, roarii vortex. As the world oi waters closed ov my head, I folt sucked down ar down by this irresistible force, was an awful moment. My bra was in a whirl, caused by the frig! ful rapidity with which I had revol ed while being dragged down by tl terrible eddy. I was painfully awn of au overwhelming pressure th exerted itself on all parts of my bod but principally on the eyes, seemi to press them into my head, as with tho strong fingers of a giai In my ears there was a deafeui roar, Uko tho lower notes of stupe dou3 organs. I well remember, tc a strangely horrible feeling of lu ing, as it were, lost my way, foi could not by any means tell whi was up or down, or side-ways. This crushed auy little hope tha had, and was especially dreadful, cause I wus conscious of yet havi tho power to swim, could I but sure that I was swimming upwa and not wasting my strongth in : other direction. Ideas like thc though taking long to write, flasl across my mind by hundreds ii second. In such moments the bi scorned capable of a marvelou vivid intensity of action that it at other time possesses. With difficulty I opened my ej smarting with the brine, but all a uniform dark grey green, aud pain mado me quickly close tl again. As the lungs filled with wa and suffocation supervened, the i Ration was horrible in tho extro I never thought it would have L such agony to die. The common belief that to drown ia an easy death, I hold to be one of the greatest pos? sible fallacies. The climax of pain at length was reached, and then I became insensi? ble to it, and felt only a vague sensa? tion of re-enacting scenes in my past life, many of which, until then, I bad utterly forgotten. On came these silent phnutoms of the past, without, I thiuk, any particular or? der, but with the intense distinctness of a vivid dream. Gradually it be cnuio lighter and lighter, until tbero was a perfect blaze of whito light; but this as gradually died away again, and the onrrent of my vision, which bad been momentarily broken, wns resumed, though now dimly. Thoro was throughout nothiug spectre-like nor appalling in the apparitions; they were simply friends, to whom I had no power to speak, nor they to me. By degrees they were beginning to get fainter and more confused, when tho light be? came brighter aud brighter, and there came tho same blaze as before. It was just again waning, when, for au instant, I felt a terribly sharp pain in the head, and tho glaring light returned, driving away all my ghostly friends, and leaving in their stead nothing but a great white blank. Then followed an excruciat? ing bodily sense of bursting, and I knew no more, until two days after? ward I found myself, very weak and ill, swinging iu my cot on board the old Nonpareil. It seems that when I disappeared with the wreck, the boat, as soon as the daugerons whirpool lind subsided, continued to pull backwards and forwards over the spot waiting for mc to rise. They had almost given me up for lost, when, at length, I rose to the surface, and sank again before they wero able to reach me. The next time, fortunately, they were more .successful, for then they caught me by the bair just as I was again sinking. This accounted for thc sharp pain in the bead that I felt on coming to the light the second time. For some timo I was thought to be dead; but nuder skillful treatment animation returned, and after a long aud tedious illness, I was eventually as well as ever, but not likely to forget my sensations while drowning. It may bo a satisfaction to the render-it certainly was to me-to know that the mutinous crew of that wrecked bark never came to land, and that thus the sea avenged the cruel murder of tboir captain. An eight-hour-a-day man, ou going home, the other evening, for his sup? per, found his wife sitting, in ber best clothes, on the front stoop, reading a volume of travels. "How is this?" he exclaimed. "Where's my supper?" "I don't know," re? plied the wife; "I began to get break? fast at 6 o'clock this morning, and my eight hours ended at 2 p. m. DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
