open forward, when her foremast

told to ^ shift for himself, the cap

leaving flie mate and our informant
on thr wreck, the former doubting
his ability to swim s6 far, and the

Shocking hgwever to telare, they
had scarcely swam 20 rods from the

tied some eloathirrg in rhe rigging,

to commit their fortunes to the

to the niiist, and about 1 o'clock
in the morning (having been nbout

of startatfcn^ and so . benumed .with
cold as to be scarcely able toartic*

reached* a house a abort distance
frorri f he beach, (the residence of
some pilots.) where he was kincjjjr
