No one would have recog nized the proud Bteamer that-had sailed so gracefully out. of port a few weks"before. 'We were ter ribly clippled, but through the mercy of Heaven we were not helpless. Neither the engine, the screw nor the rudder had been injured, and bb we had on board an unusually largo supply of coal, we felt-confident that-we-could reach lAverpool if we had rttYOr- able weather, though wo should be severul WBeks behind- our 'tegular, time.

To the coolness of the captain and the Old steersman we felt that wo owed our safety, and when the danger was fairly over, the ' passengers held a meeting, and drew np' a set of resolutions -thanking them for thoir gallant conduct. A great change came over the passenger*. They ' becahle more serious than they bad been before the accident. Religious services were held daily on 'board, aitd were attended 'by -every one on ship, except those on : duty, and never have I witnessed more interesting meetings than I saw and partici pated in there. Old Ben' confessed to rhe that the aiecident had "converted" him, and that after so 'signal and great a in inifu3tntioii' of God's mercy, he could hold aloof no longer.
