, WHILST DROWNING.
AN( EPISODE TS A SEAMAN'S UFE.
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.

having been settled, for all timo to como,
by tho war, or the voluntary action of tho
Southorn States, in Constitutional Con?
ventions assembled, and never to be re?

of peace, demand:
1st. Immediate restoration of all thc
States to their rights In the Union, under
the Constitution, and of civil government
to tho American people.
2d. Amnesty for all past political
offences, and the regulation of the elective
franchise in thc States by their citizens.
3d. Puyment of tho public debt of tho
United States ns rapidly na practicable;
all moneys drawn from tho people by tax?
ation, except so much ns ia requisite for

plied "to such payment; and, wh?rtf tho

Otb. Economy in tho administration ol

credit of thc Government and tho curren?

7th. Reform of abuses in the administra

tho restoration of rightful authority t<
and the independence of tho execulivi

the civil power, to tho end that tb
usurpations of Congress and thc detpot
ism of tho sword may cease.
8th. Equal rights and protection fo
naturalized and native-born citizens, a
homo and abroad; thc assertion of Amcri
can nationality which shall command th
rospect of foreign powers, and furnish a;
example and encouragement to peopl
struggling for national integrity, const:
tutioual liberty and individual rights; an
the maintenance of the rights ot natura:
ized citizens against tho absolute doctrin
of immutable allegiance and the claims c
foreign powers to punish them for allege
crimo committed beyond their juriadii
tion.
In demanding theso measures and rc
forms, we arraign the radical party for it
disregard of right, and tho unparallelc
oppression an 1 tyranny which have marl
eu its career. After thc moat solemn an
unanimous pledge of both Houses ot Coi
gress to prosecute tho wai exclusively ft
the maintenance of thu Government ar
tho preservation of tho Union, under tl
Constitution, it has repeatedly violate
that most sacred pledge, under whie
alone was rallied that noble voluntoi
army, which carried our flag to victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it ha
so far SB is in its power, dissolved it, ai
Bubjocted ton States, in times of profour
poaco, to military despotism and neg
supremacy.
It has nullified thero tho right of tri
by jury; it has abolished tho habeas cv
l>us, that most sacred writ of liberty;
baa overthrown tho freedom of speech's!
tho press; it has substituted arbitra
seizures and arrests, and military tris
and secret star-chamber inquisitions t
tho constitutional tribunals; it bau disi
garded, in time of peace, tho right of t
people to be free from searches and se:
uro?; it bas entered tho post and telcgra
offices, and even the pnvato rooms of i
dividuals, and seized their private pape
and letters, without any specific charge
uotico of affidavit, as required by the <
ganic law; it bas converted tho Americ
capitol into a bastile; it lias established
system of spieB and official eapionago
which no constitutional monarchy of ?
ropo would now dare to resort; it has al
lished the right of appeal on importa
constitutional questions to tho Bupre
judicial tribunals, and thrcatena to c
tail or destroy its original j uri?dictii
which is irrevocably vested by tho Com
tution, while the learned elliot Just
has been subjected to tho moat atrocie
calumnies, meroly because he would i
prostitute bis high office to the support
the false and partizau charges preter:
1 against tho President. Its corruption t
[ ovtr.ivagnnce h&VO ? Aceeded allVlh
I known in history, anti by its frauds t
monopolies it has nearly doubled the b
den of tho debt created by tho war. It 1
stripped the President of bisconstituti
al power of appointment even of his t
Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults,
pillars of tho Government are rocking
their base, and should it succeed in
vember next, andinaugurateita Preside
wo will meet, as a subjected and conque
people, amid tho ruins of liberty and
scattered fragments of the Constituti
and we do declare and resolve that, e
since the peoplo of the United Sh
threw e.ff all subjection to tho Bril
crown, the privilege and trust of suffr
have belonged to the several States,
have been granted, regulated and (
trolled exclusively by tho political po
of each State respectively, and that
attempt by Congress, on anjprotext wi
ever, to deprive any Sti f this righi
to interfere with its el c, ia a flag:
usurpation of nuwor w. ich can fini
wurrnnt in the Constitution; and, if s
I tioned by tho peoplo, will subvert our f
j of Government, and can only end
singlo centralized and consolid?t! tl
' vernment, in which the separate exist?
of tho States will be entirely absorbed,
.in unqualified despotism bo est?bil)
in place of a Federal Union of co-e
StaUa; and that we regard tho recoiist
tion Arts (so-called) of Congress a? i
aro usurpation?, and unconstitutional
; volutiouury, and void; that our sole
and sailors, who carried tho flag of
country to victory against a most ga!
I and determined foe, must iver bc gi
folly remembered, and all the guarantees
given in their favor, must bc faithfully car?
ried into execution.
That tho public lands should be distri?
buted as widely as possible among the
people, and should be disposed of cit ber
under the pre-emption of homestead lands,
and sold in reasonable quantities, and to
nono but actual occupants, at tho mini?
mum price established by the Government.
When grants of tho pnblic lands may be
allowed, necessary for tho encouragement
of important public improvements, the
proceeds of the salo of such lands, and not
tho lands themselves, should bo so ap?
plied.
Tliat tho President of tho United States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power
of his high oflicc in resisting the aggres?
sions of Congress upon tho constitutional
rights of tho States and thc people, is en?
titled to tlio gratitude of tho whole Amer!
can people, and in behalf of the Democra?
tic party, wo tender him our thanks for bis
patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, tho Democratic
party appeal to every patriot, including all
tho conservativo clement and all who de?
sire to support the Constitution and re?
store tho Union, forgetting all past differ?
ences of opinion, to unite with us in the
present great struggle for the liberties of
the people; and that to all such, to what?
ever party they may have heretofore be?
longed, wo extend the right hand of fel?
lowship, and bail all such co-operating
with us as friends and brethren.
