The BRIIANN1A.-A passenger on board the
Britannia, in her last passage from Halifax TO Bos-
ton, has written letter to the Halifax Herald, de
scribing the scene on board the steamer the night
she struck. The steamer, it seems, struck four
times and was backed of. when she struck again
1t was night-piercing cold, and the wind blowing
q gale at the time After she cleared she narrowly
escaped breakers, into which she was directly run
ming. She was four miles from shore when she
struck Two Lights were visible, which were
taken by the Pilot for Cape Ann and Gloucester
Lights, but which were found TO be Chatham and
Cape Cod Lights, 50 miles farther South. The


writer that the Lights these different points
are precisely alike, SO that one would naturally be
mistaken for the other and this, too, on one of the
most dangerous parts of our Coast He says, also,
that If they had been in sailing vessel they must
have inevitably perished. The Captain acted with
great GOODNESS and decision; and the current which
bore the vessel out of her reckoning could not have
been calculated as it caused by the winds that
had been blowing steadily from quarter for some
time.
