for Halifax, and at dark we were dashing off thirteen knots an hour towards Cape Sable. Wednesday, 17th.--At 6 o'clock, when I woke were on Brown's bank, about forty miles from the cape. It was a dull, smoky day, the sea calm and the air cool. Although in the middle of August, an overcoat was not uncomfortable. Saw several fishermen in the distance, but did not turn from our course to pick them up. One coming in our way, was captured — the fishing schooner North America, of New London, Connecticut. David Mainwaring, master. We got some fresh fish — halibut weighing sixty to seventy pounds, some ice, and a few provisions, then scuttled the vessel. At 9, captured brig Neva, of East Machias, Maine, from Lyngan bay, C. B., to New York with a cargo of coals. Bonded for seventeen thousand five hundred dollars and prisoners put on board. Two o'clock, Made the Nova Scotia coast above Cape Sable, and during the day skirted along it, just near enough to distinguish the hou

ing with a full cargo of cod and mackerel. We supplied ourselves with fish, took the crew on board, and scuttled the schooner. At 7:15, started the engines again and stood northwest by west. Light breezes. Sea smooth. At 8 A. M. spoke Nova Scotia schooner Sophy, from Turk's island, with salt for Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Having a number of prisoners, they were permitted to board this vessel and arrange for passage home. The captain said he was a very poor man, but would do all he could n scuttled the vessel.

, to New York with a cargo of coals. Bonded for seventeen thousand five hundred dollars and prisoners put on board. Two o'clock, Made the Nova Scotia coast above Cape Sable, and during the day skirted along it, just near enough to distinguish the houses, villages and forts by the shore. A large steamer, standing to the southward, passed us at 3 P. M., but we had too little coal to give chase, even if night had not been so near. At 4 P. M., captured schooner Josiah Achome, of Rockland, Maine, bound to Cape Breton for coals.--There was nothing on this vessel of value to us, and she was burned as soon as the prisoners and their baggage could be removed. Towards 5, the air grew heavy and some rain fell. A dense mist hangs over the water. Two light houses visible on the shore, and a long line of sterile coast. Barometer falling. Wind northeast, with prospect of a storm. Running along the coast, we saw two small fishing schooners a few miles ahead, which, as soon a

York. This bond did not protect her, however, and Lieutenant Benton was sent on board to remove stores and set her on fire. She was a magnificent vessel, the cabin elegantly fitted up with passenger accommodations, and everything about her clean and in excellent order. When we left her, the flame had reached the masthead. Midday.--Very warm, considering the cold chilly nights and days just past. The sea is as smooth as a river. Captured the fishing schooner Floral Wreath, of Georgetown, Maine, just returned from four months fishing in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. There was over three thousand dollars worth of cured fish on her, just ready for the market. The captain, named Chandler Jewett, was a genuine Yankee, and the loss of his vessel went very hard with him. He repeatedly declared he "would rather have lost his wife than that schooner." This was thought to be a joke at first, but he repeated it so often we saw he was in earnest. The vessel was worth, perhaps, one thousa

I presume they thought we believed this gammon, and hoped to get better treatment by lying. It made very little difference, however, what polities they had or professed--one was treated as well as another, and all as prisoners of war. All these vessels were taken while running down the coast of Maine, and the last three or four near the islands of Matinicus and Mohegan in Penobscot bay. We ran close to Martenicus, and saw the people on shore watching our movements. The day was spent cruising around these islands, and burning vessels marked our course. Towards night, Mr. Tynaus, our chief engineer, reported the coal fast going, and in order to get a fresh supply to continue our operations among the fishermen, Captain Wood turned for Halifax, and at dark we were dashing off thirteen knots an hour towards Cape Sable.

They acknowledged the truth, but could not see why they should be made to suffer for what others had done. Singular enough, we have not yet found a single man who would acknowledge himself a Yankee. They invariably claim to be "Southern sympathizers," "allers have ben friendly to the South"--all were opposed to the Government to Lincoln, and the war, and a majority claimed to have been threatened with feathers and tar for their secession proclivities.
