On the 14th inst. encountered a very heavy gale from the south-east, which necessitated the vessel beiug hove to. Subsequently two of the hands had a most miraculous escape from drowning, a heavy sea broke upon the deck, and swept the two men overboard. Another of the men was hauling in the rnainsheet at the time. He also was struck by the sea and washed into the scuppers, at the same time having to let go his hold of the sheet. The boom immediately swung over to leeward, and the vessel giving a very heavy roll simultaneusly dipped into the sea, when the two men wno were overboard managed to lay hold of it and secure themselves till their shipmates could rescue them, which they very i speedily did.
