until the fitth of May, when they were taken on board the Titania for Quebec. It is believed that one handred and thirty- hve lives were lost. The same officer (James Allan) on being interviewed added that the night on which the disaster cceurred was cledr, though moonless, and the gg synooth as glass. He retired to his bunk about eight o'clock leaving Chief Officer Thompson in charge of the deck. At about 11.10 he heard the signa! sud- denly given to st.p the engines, followed by a jearful crash. He rushed immediately on deck, and the first thing he noticed was a red light pretty close on their starboard bow. At the same mement h- heard the chief officer’s voice and cry ‘‘col- lision,” and perceived the bark which had run into them go down, This bark, is he aiterwards learned from its captain and two of its crew who were picked up and saved, was the Ponema, of Chatham, bound from Liverpool to Miramicni. Running to the side of his own vessel he endeavored to as- certain the damage done, and perceiving an immense gaping hole into which the sea was fast pouring, ard feeling as he said himself, that the steamer was a guner, he at once hurried to the captain, who immedia

tely gave orders to get out boats, four of

which were down in tifteen minutes, a few hou rs of excrucrating illness, Neil, the wien the State of Florida just kecled over eldest son of William and Margaret. McLeod,

} when they s

to port and went down stern formost. As aged 21 years and 8 months, He was a young far as he could calculate the disaster cc- curred in iat. 49.00 north, and long. 36.12 west, or abont 1,200 miles off the Irish Coast, a8 when their last bearing were takén that day they were about 47.50 north and 38 35 west. As the vessel went down, all on deck, including the captain, were washed off by the sea. Allan further stated that the captain was exceedingly ceol, too cool, in fact, as he did not seem te look upon the danger as serious or press- ing, and this, tegether with the fact that he appeared in no hurry to save himself, was possibly the cause why more of the passengers were not saved. They would not take to the boats, as they supposed aw him so cool that the danger was rot so great, and moreover the sea was so calm. Eight beats, carrying four, were safely launched. Two were smashed by collision, and of the other two he knew nothing, bat be’ieved they were washed away when the steamship went down. He did not believe that any one had escaped in them. However, if they had, he did not want to raise any false hopes, his opin- ion being that they never would be heard from again. When No. 2 boat was being lowered the tackle was ent toe quickly and its occupants, who were all passengers, were upset into the sea, a number of them, including Bennett, of London, Onat., clung to the boat’s bottom during the remainder of the night, and was picked up in the morning by other boats, Sunday, after drifting thirty-five hours, we were picked up by the Theresa, and on the following Tuesday the party now on board the Ti tania were transferred to the bark Louisa, of Cardiff, while off Bird Rocks, but the latter being over crowded the party were again transferred to the Titania. Allan de- clined to give his opinion of the accident. The members of the rescued party on board the Titania presented a pitiable ap- pearance. So sudden was the accident that many of them who were in their bunks at the time had to hurry on deck and into the boats in their night clothes. Most of them had but a very confused idea of what really transpired, and all they | could distinctly remember was the crash and the rush to the boats as the ship went down amid the shrieks and lamentations of the passengers. Those on duty at the time remembered seeing a red light flash

for an instant, followed by an instan- taneous crash, after which nothing but confusion followed, the steamship be- ginning to sick and_ hurried pre- parations being made to launch the boats. The bark which collided with them went down instantaneously.

| Frightened passengers rushed on deck in their night eclothes,and a scene of in- describable confusion ensued. Women| went iato hysterics, men refused to move, and women especially objected to leaving the dcomed vessel, some that could have been easily saved actually refusing to budge an inch, ‘Those who clung to the bottom of the capsized boet all night suffered ter- ribly from the iey cold of the water. Though the was calm, nevertheless l they never lost heart. One of their num- | ber, a man named Donaldson, was under- neath the capsiz-d boat all night until they | were picked up by one of the other bosts| in the morning. When she capsized he| ‘kept his hold and went over with her ‘inanaging ty» secure position above the bars, where ho remained talking to himself and moaniog until he swooned. His com- panions on the ontside were unable to assist him, Ia the morning when they were picked up the bottom of the boat had

£ea

In afew days afterwards, however, he got all right. Doring the thirty-five hours they were afloat they had not a drop of | water to drink and were beginning to feel all the horrors of extrema thirst when they

were rescuwd by the bark Uheresa, uf the
