A piece;af the hur- ricane deck, 100 feet long, .was ¢rowded with human beings. ““There were but four life-preservers on board, Which were distributed among the ladies. ‘Tha members of the ballet troupe and French circus company, not speaking English, could not understand what orders werd given in relation to, the boats, and very few, if any, managed to reach them, The shrieks of the frantic wo- men could be heard above the roar of the angry, waves, rushing td and fro, imploring for aid, butt was each for herséii, ts a “The boats were all capsized, and those, who bad reached theti were clinging to their sides, but the heavy seas would wasli them away, when others more fortunate would: fill’ theip Teh There are only 23 per saved.’ Besides the, purser’s boat, which BA a a- vannah with 10 persons, a boat containing the third mate atid five persous . with two dead bodies, bas arrived at Fernandia, Florida.’ The schooner Morning, Star picked up one of the Tife-boats, containing the pilot, cook, as- stant engineer, dnd fouk passengers. ~ 4¢Tn addition to, the French Circus Company and Bal- let Troupe, there were 42 frail women, who for, var.ous reasons were sceking another field to prosecute their un- holy calling.’ Some with impaired constitutions, were migrating to a.warmer.clime; others were. suflerin with ennui, and ymerely wanted a change of scene. is stated that onc young girl has lett a.widewed, mother, sister and ghiduaprovided for, she being their only sup- port, ‘Lhe sister is being, educated at a private school, and knows i of her sister's shame. “John Thuro, of New Orleansyone of the engers on-the ill-fated vessel, bo a policy: for $10,005 in the Accidental Insurance Company, for which he paid $10, » Several of the unfortunates had their lives insured for the benefit.of those dependent on them, m various New York Companies.” rROM THE PURSEK's ACCOLNT. A little before. daylight, Gaptain &napp went into the cabin and, notified the. passengers that he bad done all that was in his power td save the ship, and chat he was satisfied she would go down before» many minutes had passed; he then closed the dabin doors, and with the as- sistance of myself, com } ting the boats clear from their, fastenings. ‘The captain now opened the doors on each side of the social hall, and efforts were r boutto be made to get the ladies into the boats.

After hanging to.a piece of the wreck for three hours, one of the sltip's boats floated to me.and I climbed into it, bat was capsized six Limes, eachtime losing my hold, -From what. k saw and heard, I think all the boats were capsized when the vessel went down; all this time the sea was running very high, and until the afternoon the boat:con- taining myself.and companions was surrounded by im- mense quantities of drift wood. The wind was still blowing a hurricane; that evening the wind and sea abated considerably; Capt. Knapp, in attempting to reach our.boat, was struck on the bead with a heavy piece of drift wood, and inmediately sank; besides my- self, our party .eonsisted of the following persons: Robert.

My wardrobe consisted of a shirt, pair of pants, and neck-tie. About 8 o'clock, a. m., we fell in with one of the ship’s boats, containing the third mate and hine of the passengers and crew. We now rigged a sail from several life-preservers, the other boat elas her own sail. Both boats now shaped their course west- ward, in hopes of reaching land or falling in with some passing vessel. ‘The wind at thie time was about E.N.E. ; soon alter dark we lost sight of the other boat, and have not seen her since. This boat arrived at Fernandia, Florida, on Sunday moraing, Oct. 7, with six persons and two dead bodies, : A PASSENGER'S ACCOUNT. W. W, Llarris, a passenger, says in hie account: —At 54 o'clock, the captain notified the women that all who wished to take their chances in the boats could do so. Parsef Allan placed a number of women in the boats, but at the mowed these were detached fiom the wreck, they were swamped. “All the women that could get them bad life-preservers, but those were very few in number. Meahwitte'the bhip Was moving Very fast. I ‘stood by one-of the hatch covers in company with several-women, intending to cling tg it when thé vessel should go down, which we expected eyery moment. Ina few minutes she shipped a heavy sca forward of her starboard wheel house, completely covering the vessel. She never rose again out of this sea, but went down in an instant, I was carried down with her about twenty or thirty feet. On coming to the surface of the water again, I caught hold. of a heavy prece of the guard to support myself; but being several times struck by pieces of the wreck, I rélinquished my hold. Inext succeeded in getting upon a pieve of the framework of the saloon; where T stood two or three hours, baving been washed off two or three times, At this time I could see most of the debris as it lay before me, One piece of the hurricane deck some 100 feet long was crowded with human beings, whose shrivks of terror and despair rose above the fury of the storm. While clinging to my piece of the wreck, I saw one of. the life-beats, to:which several persons, were clinging, turn bottom up. 1 swam to her, and with the assistanve of others, succecded in righting the boat. Some eighteen of us got hold of the boat, which was com- pletwly'filled with water, Some of those clinging to the sides of the boat with mé were soon washed away.

During the evening of the Sd (Wednesday) we began to suffer considerably for the want of food and water, our party found a turnip floating near the boat, and hav- oe ing secured it, divided it with his companions, Some ~ [who had been drinking sale water became quite delirious #o intense bad their thirst become. jother boat had a One of Some even drank their own urine From the canvass as i en wind, helped us along on the next morning (the 4th) we fell in. with one ol the ship's life-boate von- by the aid of the strong \ toward the shore, At eight o’ taining the third mate and vine men.

Nothing de- lighted the vetran loyalist, whose remains were on Satu ‘ day fcllowed to the grave by a large number of friends and neighbors, so much, during his declining years, as recounting the incidents of his younger days. Though in declining years his loyal heart beat high, and his failing limbs gained strength as he heard ang thought of the dastardly attémpts upon Canada by the cut-throat Fenians, and it was not without strong persuasion on the part of his friends that he could be induced not to enrol himself as a Volunteer and go forth onee more to fight for the liberty and integrity of his country.
