The vessel picked him up, August 19fch, in lat. 4618, long. 3950, in a deplorable condition. He was too weak to climb aboard without assistance, and unable to stand when he leached the deck. His clothes hung about him in strings, his boots were eaten full of holes by the salt water, he was dripping wet, and his body much emaciated. He had been two months arid a day alone on the ocean, and had accomplished about 55 miles more than half the way across when ho abandoned the trip. He says he will make the foolhardy attempt next year. ATTEMPT TO STEAL MAXWELL'S BODY.
