Arrival of Herring Cove Schooner*— Narrow Escape of the »Infant'—The | Experience of Two Fishermen. —♦ ■ — Twelve schooners (of the Herring Cove fishing fleet) arrived at Herring Cove on Saturday night from the fishing grounds, but owing to the ice they were compelled to run up the bay for shelter. All of them brought in good fares of fish. Capt. Coolen, of the schr. Infant, in attempting to ran his vessel through tbe ice, was caught. He remained in the ice for over two hours and narrowly escaped being driven on the rocks. Many of the men suffered severely on Friday, and some hair-breadth escapes are reported. It appears that while hauling their trawls, the wind suddenly increased so that it was impossible to row the dories to windward. William Oakley and Peter Reyno, of the schr. Hesperus, after vainly striving to reach their vessel, had to give up. Fortunately they drifted close to the schr. Infant and managed to reach her, though much exhausted from hunger and fatigue. John Keating and Joseph Reyno, after huuling their trawls, from which they secured almost a load of fish, found that they could make no headway against the stiff breeze that was blowing. They were forced to throw. a portion of their fish overboard. Luckily for them the wind moderated about midnight and they were enabled to reach their vessels. Keating says that had the wind continued for two hoars longer they would undoubtedly have perished, as uo vessel was to leeward of them. A dory was swamped alongside the schr. G. F. Mitchell, the occupants narrowly escaping with therr lives, the dory wm not repeffred,— Halifax iJeraW, Ftfy. 29* NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. New tweeds, trouserings & diag0na15......... J.
