A HAZARDOUS VOYAGE.

Clever Seamanship nj a Sxtm of Tek&eblk Gai,bs. The New York correspondent of the Times says :-The Cunird steamship Lucania arrived, nearly nine days out from Liverpool ft is her record voyage— -7 days 19 hours from Queenstown to Sandy Hook— 23 hours longer than the longest previous passage. Her shortest voyage is 5 days 7 houi 23 minutes—still the English record. — Seldom, if ever, has such weather been known in tfe Atlantic Day after day came gales, fierce squalls of snow thunder and lightning, hail, fog* and immense seas — one almost unceasing tumult of heaven and ocean. We had 1 6 hours of hurri* cane last Thursday at 100 miles a* hour. The magnificent ship rod* it easily and unharmed. The day's run. was 121 miles, 54 l«^ th»» ever before— another reoord, - The barometor fell from 30in. to 27-92 in. —again a record.

She was for almost half the voyage * half or three-quarters speed, witfc the result that never has so rougk '" an Atlantic" journey been per* formed with so little discomfort. Her daily runs from Queenstowi to Sandy Hook were : 539, 401 392, 305, 121, 334, 507, and 300 miles. If the voyage had Hi almost tragic side, it had also a comic interlude, when the shift was surrounded by whales tad stopped, lest they should foul tht propellers. The Lucania cam into port without a scratch, with* out harm or alarm to any humat being on board. No observation! were obtainable for four days, but, after drifting all Thursday and feeling her way by dead reckon* ing and sounding till Sunday night ske passed the Nantucket lighten, her true course, and anchored off Sandy Hook till daylight. As she swung into dock some hours later a procession of passengers carried congratulations to the captain and officers, for none of whom had there been much rest or sleep.
