News of the wreck of the ‘ Uity of Columbus,” and the terrible loss of life, was received with profound sorrow in this city No residents of Savannah were aboard
Boston, Jan. 20.
About forty bodies of those who perished .n the wrecked steamer ‘City of Columbus” have been found up to to-night, and an active search is being made.
Vinevarp Haven, Mass., Jan. 20.
It is believed that the saved from the steamer ‘‘City of Columbus” are all heard from, therefore the melancholy record is that out of eighty-five passengers, and a crew of forty-five, twenty-nine are alive. Of these twenty-nine, sixteen were | landed at New Bedford by the revenue steamer ‘‘Samvel Dexter.” One Capt Vanse, of Truro, N. S., is now on board the U. S. steamer ‘‘Speedwell” in Vine- yard Haven, and ten are still at Gay Head, as follows:—
J. H. Tibbetts of Somerville, passenger.
Edward O Brien of St. John’s, Nfid., sea- min
Michael Kennedy of St. John’s, Nfld., waiter.
Robert Gallant of Cape Breton, seaman.
Edward Leary, seama*.
Thomas Butler of Charlottetown, P. E. l., fireman
John Hines, fireman,
W. H. Spaiding, purser.
Harry Collins, second assistant engineer, of P. E. Island, and Roderick McDonald, quartermaster, of P. E. I.
Several small vessels were out in the ator.
Statement of Captain Wright.
The following is the statement of Captain Wright of the wrecked steamer :
‘*Passed Nobskay Light at 11.5; ten minutes later gave orders to lay her course West South-West, and went to room sitting down on the floor with my back against t e steam heater. Think I may have been tuwere twenty minutes—quartermaster Mc- Donald being at the wheel. Heard some one say port. I immediately rushed into the pilot house saying hard to port. Before seeing where 1 was or what was the cause of changing the course, the steamer struck, and in about twenty minutes sank— it being then about four o'clock. When I went into my room I laid the course directly out of the Sound, and following these directions I can’t see how he should have passed nearer than two miles from the buoy.”
The second mate has been reported as one of tbe men on the life raft, and if so he perished.
A comparison of the times mentioned by Capt. Wright will show that if correct he must have slept at least two hours, instead of twenty minutes, and his order ‘*hard-a- port” would be very natural toa man sud- denly disturbed from a sound sleep.
The list of saved fills up twenty-nine, and is as follows :
Passengers :—
Horace Waterhouse, Bath, Me.

ee Is there no way of disposing of that little waif known as Oiney Smith? All day long and late at night he is wandering our streets. He can hardly be said to have a home, for al- though he has a mother, she spends a large part of her time in gaol, and her life is no pattern for him. In Halifax there is a society for the prevention of cruelty to children—we have enough subjects in Charlottetown to oc- cupy the time of so worthy an institation. —_——--»———-

Tue Prince Edward Snowshoe Club turned out for the first time on Saturday afternoon, They presented quite a picturesque appearance as they marched in single file through the streets to the starting ground. The tramp was out. the lower North River Road, round the Royalty and into town by the Mount Edward Road, about seven miles. It wag done in good time, We wish the Club every success, and hope to see a larger turn out next time, and if we might suggest an im- provement, it would be more uniformity in the legging gear. The seal skin moccasin and
the grey knickerbocker stocking do not match even on the greyest snow.
