Finding it necessary to beach her. he put her before the wind, intending to run her npon the Stanley beach. The sea breaking over her continoallv. she was unable to hold on long enough, and ran under.' Mr. Clare, happening fortunately to be on hoard the Fanny, and his boat alongside, jumped into her. and. in company with Captain Downing, your reporter, and some of tbe crew, put off to pick the man up, and providentially succeeded. Chard was completely exhausted, as, although he floated with an oar under each arm, the waves broke over him, and nearly drowned him. He was taken on board the Fanny, where Captain Downing supplied him with a dry suit, and showed him every attention, and when we left lie waa quite recovered.— Daily Sews, September 2a
