It was perceived that every_person in the boat had a coating of ice on over half an inch thick, and benumbed and frost bitten, they were for a time deaf to all interrogatories. At length Captain .Valkcr came up quite close to the sunken schooner, and, with stentorian voice, hailed them to cut adrift. As if roused from deep slumber, simultaneous effort was made to obey tho kind command. But their powers were got?e, and in the effort to relieve themselves, they fell back in tho boat in a senseless condition. One man, however, roused to a last desperato attempt, seized an tfxe with his frostbitten hands, and, by one vigorous stroke, cut the rope 1 hat so long enchained them to death. Thus freed, the little boat, with its perishing occupants, dropped along side the Albemarle, and they where taken through the port on the Ice side. They presented a most helpless and forlorn spectacle, and it was thought that very few of them would survive the terrible ordeal through which they had p‘ ed. But the usual rotneiidies were quickly applied, and with the great and unremit ting attention bestowed upon them by Captain Walker and the purser of tho Albcrmarle the poor uatieuts gradually returned to consciousness.
