They were both suffering terribly from the cold, but Mr. Collins took home, where they were given every attention, and on Saturday morning both had quite recovered from their terrible experience. Mr. McRory was in Kingston on Saturday morning, and told the story | of his experience to the Whig. He said those who took part in the res- | cup were deserving of great praise for their work.
