dread gulf which divides time from eternity had already been passed by each and all, save one, of those who sailed so gayly from the town that morn. Lovers and rivals, passengers and crew, were united in a watery grave. The solitary survivor was Arthur Blackbourne. The register of Southwold for the year 1616 contains the record of this tragedy of domestic life, penned with mournful minuteness by the faithful hand of the bereaved parent of two of the victims, Christopherus Younges, the Vicar of Southwold: we copy it verbatim from the tear-stained page. "The names of those who were drowned and found again. They were drowned in the haven coming from _Donwich fayer_, on St. James's day in a _bote_, by reason of one cable lying _overwharf_ the haven, for by reason the men that brought them down was so negligent, that when they were _redie_ to come ashore the _bote_ broke _lose_, and so the force of the tide carried the _bote_ against the cable and so overwhelmed. The number of them were xxii, but they were not all found. The widow Robson, Johne Bates, Mary Yewell, Susan Frost, Margaret Blackbourne and the widow Taylor, were all buried on the 26th day of July, being all cast away, coming from _Donwick fayer_, on St. James's daye. "Widow Poster was buried the 27th day of Julye. Bennett Allen was buried the 30th daie, Goodie Kerrison same daie. Edward and Elizabeth Younges, daughter and son to me, C. Younges, vicar and minister, was buried the 31st _Dae of Julie_. "All these were found again in this towne and buried."--_Southwold Register_ A. D. 1616. ANECDOTES OF NAPOLEON.
