emer OF late the police have given little atten- tion to the corner-loafing nuisance. The consequence is that the denizens who spend their nights in the dark haunts in different ot the town have become bold and in- suiting. Last night a gentleman quietly paes- s yang of those hoodiums was grossly in

parts

fulted. ‘I'he epitiets used were the foulest which could emanvate from the throat of a “emon; but in this law abiding city he was!

Cbtived to bear with it, owing te the absence

has on several occasions been brought to the notice of the Department of Marine and Visheries, but which as yet has not receiv-

ed any attention. Perhaps the wreck of the State of Maine will cause an investi- fauion toto this matter, Saturday was an exception to the general rule, for the

captain and several of those on board heard the whistle distinctly for five minutes before the accident, but from some atmospheric cause the sound appeared to come from ap entirely different direction than it actually

did, and led the cantain and pilots to believe that they were ali right. Mr. W. O. Dunham, who is the guest of Mr.

Thomas, hght keeper at Point Lepreaux, and who was an eye witness of the disaster, beard the steamer blowing for a long timx before he could see her, and remarked to Miss Thomas, who was with him in front of the house, that the steamer seemed to be very inshore. Gradualiy she ap- proached nearer and her outline could be made out clearly through the fog. A second or two after they saw her first she struck on the point

WITH A

TREMENDOUS CRASH. She was going between 15 and 14 knots an hour when she struck, and the impetus was 80 great that, after striking the first time, she bounced off and appeared to juinp 15 or 20 feet further on the rocks. Then she settled down, a large rock coming uj through bottom, shoving the port boiler out of position and forcing up all the decks. This made a second crash, and th: twist she got as she settled down on the starboard beam broke a steam pipe, which soon filled the main deck with vapor. The engines were stopped instantaneously by the engineer in charge, and the safety valve lifted. For a time there was a little con fusion—two women fainted, two or three more screamed out, and some few ran aft. The officers and crew, when they recovered from their surprise, scon restered order Captain Pike stepped out of the pilot-house the hurricane deck, and in a clear, steady voice, ordered the crew to cleat away the boats. Every man is assigned a place and, in the event of an accident or a fire, knows what to do. The manner in which the men went to work showed clearly that they understood what they were about, and this fact alone gave the passengers confidence. In a few minutes the eight boats and two large life rafts had been lowered away, and were alongside the for- ward gangway, where the passengers had assembled.

** LADIES AND CHILDREN FIRST,”

the

to

said the captain as a man, more anxious for his own safety than that of others, got into one of the boats. He was promptly ejected and had to wait histurn. The number of ladies and children was large— about two thirds of the passengers —and some little trouble was experienced in gett- ing them into the boats, particularly when they had babies. Mothers refused to be parted from their offspring and, as no time was to be lost, both mother and child had to be lifted bodily into the boats. In this work the crew were assisted by the male passengers, several of whom were either seamen or had some experience in steam- boating. The second boat, coutaining ladies and children, instead of making for! the cove on the port side of the steamer went around the other side of the wreck and got lost in the fog. The boat, how- ever, reached the shore all cight in about half an hour and landed the passengers in safety, far as could be ascertained, about half an hour elapsed before the pas- sengers were all landed. The next thing to be done was to

PROVIDE COMFORTABLE QUARTERS for them, a portion of the crew were set to work at once erecting tents out of the steamer’s sails, which had been brought ashore. ‘The other half were still at work on the wreck saving the baggage, and when all ot the trunks and bags had been landed they turned their attention to saving the ship’sfurniture. Every moveable article in the saloon was taken out and placed upon the beach, the passengers assisting the crew in this work. Mr. Leonard, the steward, got his appliances for cooking coffee and the provisions ashore, and about 5 o'clock all hands were served with a supper. Mrs. Tbomas and Mrs. Gallant, wife of the light keeper and fog-whistle keeper respectively, also provided refreshments and shelter for as many as could be accommodated in their houses, Mrs. Hughes, of Manchester, N. H., an invalid lady who was going to Charlottetown, P. E. J., for her health, was taken to Mr. Thomas's house, where her wants were provided for. that the shock will be more than she can stand in her present weak state. She was too ill to be brought up to St. John with the other passengers Sunday.

passengers and crew

house on a level piece of ground, it was quite wet under the tenis, bne this feature | was soom remedied by cover.ug the ground with mattresses. The furniture from the steamer was then put in and beds made for the accommodation of the passengers. There were three tents in all; one for ladies, one for men, and the third one for the crew. lt continued very foggy during the night, and all hands kept pretty well under cover, amusing themselves with singing and instrumental music—one of the crew having saved an accordeon among his effects. At midnight they turned in, or more properly speaking, arranged themselves to be as com. fortable as possible, and went to sleep— such as could do so—the remainder listened tu the tooting of the fog whistle and the wash of the waves on the beach.

There were numerous laughable incidents reiated by the passengers of their experi- ences. One man who told everyhody that he could not swim put on three life pre- servers, which gave him sufticient courage to risk his life in one of the small boats. In contradiction to this is the conduct of a five-year-old boy named Willie Currie, who was travelling with his sister, also young. When asked if he was afraid he said, ‘‘No, [can swim, but I am afraid of my sister, who can’t swim.” He was looked after by one of the men. In response to the inquiries of the re- porter, Capt. Pike said the fog was very deuse, and the usual precautions against accident were taken, One of the most careful Jookouts was posted in the bow, and both pilots and myself were in the pilot house. We were going at a good rate of speed, and steering the usual cours*, with the exception that we were, accuiding to the compass,

A QUARTER OF A POINT FURTHER than we usually steer. We heard the whistle about half-past one o'clock, and from the way in which the sound reached us we Judged that we were in our proper course.

‘How do you account for getting so far out of your course?” asked the reporter. “It is fate, | presume. There is an old saying that there must always be an odd aumber, and the wreck of the State of Maine makes the third loss the Internation: al Company have recently sustained. 1 have already told that we steered even further away from the shore than our cus ‘om has been and still we struck. There- f re, THERE

OFF SHORE

MUST HAVE BEEN A CURRENT something of that kind to carry us on the rocks, A fisherman whom we met soon after we landed told me that he has never known the tide to set so strongly on the shore as for the last two or three tides. Formerly the tide set well out but on Sat- urday evening he was carried on shore. Chis may account for the accident.

The passengers-—one hundred and twenty-

five in number—including W. 8. Milligan and C. F. Seeley, of P. E. Island, were aken off Point Lepreanx by the steamer Empress and landed at St. John. The State of Maine was the largest passenger steamer ever ran between St. Her register tonnage is 1,409.99. She was 242 ft. long, 37 ft. beam, and 14 ft. 7 in. deep.
