Captain Holmes.

First mate (name unknown),

Second mate, O’ Neill.

The pilot (name unknown).

The cook (name unknown).

John Wild, of Nova Scotia.

Lewis Gain, Portland, Me.

A Dane named Peter.

A Frenchman named Charley.

The pilot belonged to Portland, Maine. Oa being thrown into the water Lyons and three others gained the reef, the others being drowned at the first plunge. Lyons states that his companions, after remaining for hours on the reef, perished of cold, the party being unable to reach the mainland as the tide covered the intervening rocks. Lyons states that he was not thrown into the water, but reached the reef by jump- ing from the rigging. He was not frost bitten and made his way ashore when the tide fell. Unfortunately the tide soon covered the way to the mainland and as- sistance was impossible. Besides the three men who died on the reef the bodies of two others have been recovered.

A CORONER'S INQUEST was commenced yesterday afternoon, the particulars being forwarded to the Tele- graph by telephone from St. Martins. Following 1s the evidence of the survivor,

The Arcana was a St. Martins built schooner and had a crew of ten men all told, including the pilot. Captain Holmes belenged to Portland, Me. The first mate’s name is not known. The second mate’s name was O'Neill. Lyons did not know the name of the pilot. The steward was an irishman, John Wild, a Nova Scotian, Charley,a Frenchman of P. E. Island, Louis Gain of Portland, Me., Peter, a Dane, and the man saved, Patrick Lyons, of St. Stephen, who shipped in Calais, Me., comprised the remainder. The bodies re- covered were those of Charley, the pilot, Louis Gain, the Dane and the first mate.

Montreal's Winter Carnival.

The enthusiasm over the Montreal winter

| carnival exercises gives no siga of flagging

as the week draws to aclose. On the con- trary, the biggest demonstration occurred on Thursday afternoon. Montreal has by reputation the best cab system in the world. To a stranger witnessing the im- mense cavalcade of private teams, mostly tandems and four-in-hands, that assembled at Dominion Square, and paraded in the grand drive around the whole city, the very common opinion of Montreal's family teams closely rivalling those of London and New York, was well substantiated. It is no easy matter to estimate the number of miles occupied by the turnout, but there must have been thousands of teams in the parade, and many of them were special novelties for the occasion, hired teams not being admitted. The affair was in charge of the Tandem Driving Club.

Thursday was a very fine civic holiday, and was so observed in every way. Besides the grand drive, the other days attractions were a promenade concert at Victoria Skat- ing Rink.

In the evening the magnificent ice con- dora, surmounted by a snowshoer in cos- tume, on the Champs de Mars, was in- augurated with brilliant festivity. Thous- ands of people were present, and the snow- shoers surrounded the ice steps of vhe pedestal, which is itself as high as any two story house.

A rather fancy dress carnival was held at the Victoria Rink, on Thursday evening, and there wasa special illumination of the Lansdowne tobogginists.
