Loss of the Merrimack.
STATEMENT OF MRS. ALLEY.
Tue Halifax Herald devotes several columns to statements of the rescued pas- sengers of the wrecked steamer Merrimack. That of Mrs. Alley, of this city, is as fol- lows:
‘*] was laying in my berth about 11.40 listening to some kind of a tog whistle, which { afterwards learned belonged to the Merri- mack. My husband was in the upper birth and my daughter in the next state room. All at once there came a strange sensation through the steamer, followed by a grinding noise. I nomediately sung out that we were on the rocks and I sprang out of the berth to dress. My hasband was up before me. While hastily getting on our clothes the bumping and secrap- ing continued for perhaps three minutes, when a fearful shock came, which nearly knocked us down. Ina calamity like that one takes no note of time, and one minute may run into ten or even more. After gettingon our clothes
we all three rushed on the hurricane deck to try and get a boat lowered. THE SCENE IN THE STATEROOMS, AND IN THE
PASSAGE WAYS, and on deck beggars description. Some were praying, others screaming, and some par- alyzed with fear. One old gentleman in par- ticular was most earnest in his importunities. After we got on the hurricane deck we found the weather. too chilly: to: remain, and we eame down and stood by the door of the chief steward, watthing the lowering of the boats It was while standing here that she shipped the first sea. We were wading around in nearly two feet of water in the saloon. The sea which she shipped had the effect of preventing the passengers from get- ting the remainder of their clothes, as few of them dare enter their staterooms, thinking that perhaps the next sea might sweep the decks or prevent them from getting out again. The process of LOWERING THE BOATS WAS DREADFUL SLOW.
The blocks or something would not work and had there been a heavy sea there would have been no one to tell the tale. While the boats were getting lowered I thought I would risk it and rescue as many of our valuables as pos- sibles. I went into the stateroom and gath- ered up what I could. The lights were out in all the staterooms, the captain having di- rected the chief stewardess to do this the first thing—almost after the disaster. You ask what the crew did? Well, I couldn't tell you. This I know, the boats were insufficiently manned and there did not appear to be any order such as I have heard of in similar disas- ters, when every man takes his place to per- form extraordinary duties, with a resolution to de or die.
SOME OF THE PASSENGERS ACTED LIKE MAD-
MEN.
For instance, our daughter had her life pre- server taken from her by violence. Mrs. Alley here related some anecdotes of how the passen- gers behaved about the life preservers, which were irrestibly funny. Asked if she saw the Barrington street druggist distributing Tay- lor’s cough lozenges free, she said she did not know him, but saw a little red faced man fastened to a life-preserver as big as the Shulee raft; and she heard of a strapping big fellow with two life-preservers on, trying to quiet and keep cool a lot of woman who had none. I did not goin tie first boat for fecr it would swamp, and only left the ship in the second boat. At that time nearly all the wo- men were off except the chief stewardess. We were lowered into the boats by ropes, and re- mained around the steamer until six o'clock. Many ‘of the women had their fingers badly bruised by the boats coming together. When we first. struck we were about 200 yards from the island, but the steamer
5 SURGED UP To THE ISLAND, so that we were perhaps, when the vess | | stopped, not more than 150 yards off. Al-
most the first think I did after the steamer struck was to look out and see the lighthouse. It was distinctly visible, shining as bright as it is to-night or any other night. We could aot land on the Island owing to the breakers, long lines of which were breaking over rocks and ledges all around it. Breakers are senti- mental things to look at from the shore, but seen from an overloaded boat trying to make the shore, they send a shudder through one. After we all got into the boat they served us out a blanket a piece, and it was one of the queerest sights I ever beheld to see each with a white blanket around their shoulders look- ing like so many esquimaux women preparing for a great seal or walrus hunt. At six we went ashore. Had any efforts been made on Sunday all our things could have been re- covered, but on Monday my husband's cloth- ing, ete., was all gone.
