Among The Icebergs

fOur friend Voleny Hascall, of the Kalamuzoo Gazette, has gone wilh his wife to Europe, "seeking after health." A recent letter to his journu! gives his experience of a night and day in the icebergs : - Ed. Argus.] May 7th. - Pa-sed a wretched nighl. last inglit. Storm turara uud pitched our boat about lïightfully. Oockery dastu-d oft the suelves ; furmture put in motion ; and the passenger neurlv tossed i.ut of their Ixrths. I feared that il) the storm . ud darknes we might eneounler icebergs, although we had seeii none dürrug the past day Th; apprehension beset me and I could not lest. I was grateful therefora vvhen the iirst dawn of early moniing came. As suon as 1 could fairly see I roso and went on deck; and lo ! seveial of these wandeling t-.einous of the deep were stalking hke gigantic speotres en either side our Vttteel. i lelt that rny presentitnents iiiusl have been the result oi suiritual iiiipressioiis, then, for I couid not lell any other reasou why I feit so eertainly that we were aniong these moi.s;ers in the night. Went belovv to breakfast, absent 20 minutes or bo, and came abuve to see on our siarboard side a vast field of ce presenting u Iront like a held roekv coast It waa a iearlul sight, and i ay right in the proper course of our ship. liut we veered to uorthward in iope to run around it, but on we went for one hour, two hours, and still the jreat desert of ice lay around us like a juge crescent,and no hope of escape in :he direction we were going. The Captain gave the order to turn hack. Just then a black speek was discovered sorne tive miles away just atthetdge of the ice field. Sooq a small flag was seen waving as a signal of distress. The ship is immediately turneel a out, and we bore down on the object. In a few moment we had on board a ship-wrecked crew, the Captain and eiglit men of a brig that four.dered in Ltte ice 80 honra beforu. The poor fel lows had been n a little life boat all the previous tiiglit, in the dreadful storm. amid the ice, and were quite chilled and xhausted whèn taken up. They would navn perished in i few hours more. - '1 hele WHB a deep feeling of thankful ness in every soul oh board when the rescue wasuceumplished. Seven months ago, to a day, our Capluin and several of hts crew, uere pieked up by a brig, ifter the Josh oi the " Connavgkf," by tire, which our Cáptala then commanded. The coincidence is remarkuble - Our ship on taking the back track, soon caine to a narrow belt in the ice field, and was forced tlirough, wheu e bore otf on our deétibed course, ar;d non left .iii icu buliind.
