A LONE ATLANTIC CRUlSE.—Captain Thomas Drake, aged 615, a native of Faversham, arrived at Plymouth in a 35ft, schooner, which he had sailed alone from Charleston, South Carolina. He left there on April 27, and intended calling at the Azores, but owing to bad weather was unable to do so. He passed close to the island of Flores and next day communicated with an Italian steamer, which, apparently, thought the schooner was derelict. Captain Drake, however, appeared on deck, and, seeing matters j appeared all right, the steamer passed ; on. Two days after that the schooner encountered a succession of storms which necessitated her being hove to for three j days. Mr. Drake was off Flores on May* 25. The lone voyager took 54 days t'oT complete his long trip from South Carolina to Plymouth. i
