WOMAN'S SEAMANSHIP.

SHIP PILOTED ACROSS ATLANTIC. -

A remarkable fear of navigation has been performed by Mrs. Isabella:

· Orarn, states the Central News,

Unaided, and with a dying husband on board, she brought the schooner Jean E. Somerville" from Las Palmes to within 70 miles of land before the vessel wiediiyan from Its ** 'course by strong headwinds and za appeal for salvage was necessary. She is believed to be the first woman to pilot the Atlantic.

My husband was taken ill the day we left Las Palmas," said Mrs. Oram to an interviewer, "and just before leaving there the cook and mare de- serted. My husband soon became worse and unable to walk, and I was compelled to take over the navigation of the vessel.

"

"I kept him on deck most of the time, and together we took the read- ings and set the course. But I could see that he was becoming weaker, so when off, the San Antonio Light I miled a fruit steamer, hoping to gel my husband aboard it and taken ashore. But the steamer could offer no assistance, for the sea was too high to lower a boat. My husband died next day. I now began to meet with strong headwinds, which blew the ves- sel out of its course; in fact, when I managed to get, my bearings I was almost 200 miles out.

"I brought the schooner into her course again, but against the head- winds I could make no progress. After being buffered about for over two days I sighted the steamer "Moosehausic, and signalled assistance. She towed us safely into Mobile Bay."
