(Mm of the steamer Harrison reported yesterday that on the 6th Inst., 10 miles south of the Sl nslaw river and 8 miles off shore, he fell In with the schooner Mary Bldwell with her union reversed and olher sig nals of distress flying. He stood "along side her and her mate came oft to him in a boat. It was quickly ascertained that the schooner with a crew of six men, was 37 days out from San Fran cisco, and that all on board were in a slate of starvation. They had lost their bearings and had been beating about In the fog oft the mouth of the Sluslaw for ten days. Captain Crlm had forty passengers aboard and was himself un certain of making port on account of tho fog, but did not hesitate a moment about giving to the starving vessel ev ery atom of food he could possibly spare. Twenty pounds of pork, a sock of flour, sugar, potatoes, tea, biscuits, and thirty gallons of water were trans ferred to the schooner, and she" was di rected to a position near the beach from, which, when tho fog lifted, she could be seen by the tugs. The poor fellows were very grateful for the as sistance rendered them, and wanted to -give an order on the owners of the schooner for the value, of the food, but Captain Crim refused to accept any thing of the kind, and told them he only wished he could have done more.
