THE CITY OF NEWCASTLE. BRAVUivV OF TIIK CUtKF .MATE. The chief mate of the lust City of Newcastle appears to have acted with conspicuous bravery in trying to save his unfortunate com i anion a who were .eft on the wo-eck with him when the boats left. He first swam ashoie with a line, and hauled a rope to land, which he made fast to the rock&j uiul then went back to the wreck and aided his companions in mis ortuno to the best of Ins ability. The oook of the vessel he a most succeeded in saving, and just as he had him landed on the reeks with the water onlywaist deep, the unfortunate man exclaimed, '‘ I’m gone,” and immediately foil back into the water, apparently dead ; and when the mate hauled him on board the vessel again he was quite gone. Abbot, the passenger drowned, struggled hard lor his litc, but the sea breaking on him forced him several times against the rocks, so that he was compelled to relinquish his hold from sheer exhaustion, and he was drowned when his safety seemed almost assured. Mr Bowler had also a narrow escape from death as he was endeavoring to reach land from the wrecked ship. He was near laud, having been assisted there by the chief mate, when he found his strength getting spent, and clutching hold of the chief mate placed both in [ cril. "When this happened, the latter, to try and eave both, caught the rope witn his teeth, while be tried to free one of Bowler s bauds and guide it to the hue upou which their hopes depended. In this be succeeded ; but in bis efforts to accomplish it, his struggles were so severe that one of his teeth was torn out of the socket. It appears that the chief mate, in addition to his self-devotion was the only one on board the vessel who retained his pnsouce of mind, for, when he had seen Ins companions landed, he had sulHcient forethought to roll up some matches and other articles in a piece of oilskin to preserve them from the wet, ami was by this means able to light a lire, which contributed to preserve the life of one of the men who escaped drowning with him. —Marlbvrotifih Prow, November *2O.
