PERILS OF TH GUL

a | Arrival of the Missing Boats-}»

Terrible Tale of Saftering. lake ; | Statement of Mr. Fraser. i chau

One of the poets has said that the sad- i dest words are [t might have en.” The saying is true; but true only in| part; for aifer au escape irom a great | peril or a terrible death, when we retlect | upon the danger past, the words “ie]

night have been,” are very apt to rise to

ur lips to express fe elings the reverse oi sad—teelings of deep relief aud hearttelt thankfulness.

We shail not now stop to think of what might have been had the fears of Friday been realized. It is enough to know that the intrepid mea of the Cape, und the passengers iu their care, are safe. The joy bells have been rung, and our thanks ascend to the Merciful Preserver,

On this ever-memorable three boats with twenty-two men, includ-

ceasion,

ing seven passengers, left Cape Traverse |

tor Cape Tormentine, at half-past nine o'clock, Wednesday morning. They had a small compass, but no provisions. The wind was blowing brisk from the east the ice was running west at the rate of from three to four miles an hour. A nowstorm prevailed, and the ther-

mometer during the day averaged one |

and ove and a-half degrees below zero

As they proceeded iato the Guif the storm increased in violence. Soon tliey | lost their way, became exhausted, and)

Were carried up aud down the Straits by the wind. tide and currents. ‘Towards eveving the weather moderated, aud Cape Tormentine light loomed up in the distance, but the men were so completely exhausted they could not proceed further towards Cape Tormeutine. They then concluded to remain all night by their boats in the Gulf. On Wednes- day at suudown the sleet and hail pelted down with painful effect. Towards miduight the thermometer raised to six- teen above zero, and a_i —raio storm set in and continued a short time. The wind changed after midnight and blew a north-west hurricane, and the thermometer fell to sixteen degrees below zero towards day- light on Thursday morning. Theo, in the darkness of the Gulf, with a few sparks of fire to wa'm them and a few drops of water to slake their thirst, their suffering commenced. The third hoat bad been consumed for fuel, and the newspapers in the mail with their bags were added, but the fire was too feeble to warm bodies famished with hunger and thirst, chilled with exposure, and freezing. At dawn on Tharsday, they they thought Cape Traverse could be seen, but a wide stream of lolly, through which it was impossible to pass, lay between them andthe Cape. The ice, with the boats and men, at noor, bad drifted towards Crapaud. Occasionally a glimpse of the shore could be obtained, and hopes brightened. Then the snow commenced drifting, the cold bit fiercely, the shore was lost to sight, and strong mea lay down in the boats to die. About three o’clock, however, the drift cleared away, and the DeSable Presbyterian Kirk was sighted. With renewed hope, the men again made a last effort to reach the shore, and succeeded in striking in near the farm-house of Angus McPhail. A thicket stood between the farm-house aad the shore. Some men took refuge here, while Captain Muncey Irving went to the farm-house for assistance. Going to the shore they found the men scattered in all directions, some in the thicket stood silent and motionless against trees,while others held them firm in their grasp. Others stoed alone with arms extended in a comfortable and happy mood, while others lay prostrate in the snow. It was late in the evening before they were conveyed to the house of Mr. McPhail, where all human kiadness and attention was bestowed on them, and every effort was made to relieve them from their terrible sufferings.

On Saturday, Mr. James A. Fraser, druggist, Summerside, arrived in this city. He was immediately driven to the Charlottetown Hospital, aud was soon surrounded by a host of friends, Among the first callers were Dr Dodd, Post- master Brecken, and R. R. Fitz- gerald, Esq. Mr. Fraser did not appear to suffer by any meane, as he chatted pleasantly to all around him, and

auswered the volumes of inaterroga- tions which came from _ every mouth. He suffers from frozen toes and

a frozen finger, and on the side ofphis face is a frost patch. Though he expects he will have to suffer the ampn- tation of a few toes, he is thanktul to! Provideuce he escaped with so few injuries compared with the rest of his teilow-passengers and the crew. To a representative of Tak Examiner he made the following statement : -—

We left Cape Traverse board ice at 10.10 on Wednesday morning. The crews were composed as follows :—

Boat No. 1—Capt. Newton Muttart, Heetor Campbell, Mout. Campbell, Eph. Bell, James A. Howatt.

Bort No. 2 Czaptain Muncey Irving, Alex. Muttart, Bleuch Robertson, Wm. dowatt, Wm. Campbell.

Boat No. 3-—-Capt. Hanford Allan, George Allan, Joho Ailan, Tren- holm, Daniel McGlashey.

equipment was totally inadequate. | [They,were without axes, without com- | passes, and without any provisions. A | small keg of water was all that was|

taken for twenty-two men, and Only two lucifer matches could be found after searching the boats and pockets of the whole number. Not a lantern was even attached to the boats. In fact there was no preparation whatever for the terrible we have undergone. 1

mention that there Was pocket compass in posses sion of Capt. Muncey Irving — which might or might not be accurate. Immediately on leaving the board ice, Mr. James A. Morrison, one of the pas- | sengers, fell through and got wet to the | knees, and again when we were two

suffered from the start. During the | first hour, the ice was fearfully rough,

and we experienced great difficulty _ pull- ng the boats over it; but after that, we got inte large fields of smooth ice and ,managed to proceed comfortably. Our course was given by Capt. Irving, by the smail compass, and we kept this four hours. Whether | intentionally or not, I feel confident the | course was changed, and we, hour after hour, continued our tiresome joutney without getting a sight of land. Finally at 5.30 o'clock, p. m., as darkness was approaching, we halted on a_ tongue- shaped pan of ice, which was surrounded on three sides by water. Capt. Irving then told us he did not know where we were. A consultation was then held | bet ween passengers and crews regarding the best means of making ourselves comfortable for the night, and it was unanimously decided to retrace our steps a short distance from the open water. We did so, and made ourselves as comfortable as possible under the cir- cumstances. It was now blowing a half hurricane. The pelting sleet and hail was hard to face, and we had to move back slowly to a place considered safe for the night. Here we upset two of the boats, placed their guowales together, and placed the third boat with baggage, etc., to windward, and thus completed a temporary cabin. Then, taking some tin off the bottom of the boats they constructed a fireplace and prepared a facil of oars. When it was prepared, the jact became known that among the whole number of twenty-two men n0 more than two matches could be found. The most was made of these and the fire was lit. The oars were soon consumed, and it was found neces sary to break up one of the boats, but when we came to do this, we found there was no axe. We therefore broke an oar in two, used the handle end and a boat hook, and with these broke up the boat for fuel. The work of breaking up the boat, considering it was strongly kneed and tinned over, was a difficult job. It was now about eight o'clock. The hail and sleet were blinding, and the cold was intense. In company with Jas. Morrison, I spent the night outside the

ree bn os eva le ava

cabin. I “marked time” from eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, till five o'clock on Thursday morning. At

times I would get down on a trunk with Morrison, and rest; but the bitiog frost would uever fail to keep me on the move. At five o’clock, in the morning, I went for a first time inside the cabin to warm myself; aud I most earnestly pray to God I shall never again witness a scene such as then presented to me. Strong men lay around the fire, famished,shiver- ing, and extausted, while from the smoky cabin, came prayers for relief, aud blasphemies intermingled. Oc- |casionally «a man, almost overcome by suffocatio:, would dash through the smoke out of ihe cabin, and fall ex- hausted ou-the ice. Revived by the

piercing cold air, he would again return to the smoky cabia to obtain whatever warmth it afforded.

Altogether, I thought the night passed quickly. At midnight the wind shifted to the uorthwest and blew a hurricane, and the weather became colder than ever, aud thus added to our sufferings. Durivg the night only one of the crew— James Howati—had his feet frozen, and he was given preference at the fire until] they were thawed out. As day dawned on Thursday I fancied 1 saw land to the southeast, but it was drifting too thick and blowing too hard to make a move, Afier this I saw land to the westward but they thought it was lolly, aud de- cided it was better not to work towards it. At 8 o'clock we changed the camp because the fire had melted the ice so thin that if was dangerous. After this was done one of the passengers had a pouad of smail sweet crackers on which the whole number broke their fast— being served with one cracker each,— each cracker might possibly weigh a quarter of an ounce. After this light | breaktast we heard a tremendous crash outside. All rushed outside and were amazed to find the tce had parted about fifteen feet from the side of the cabin. In lesstime, said Mr. Fraser, than it takes to tell ir, there was a space of ove-

separated. The waves then dashed on the | pan where we had our cabiu and broke it, up so rapidly that we had barely time to, ihe boats and baggage and move

the site of the cabin was destroyed. Ia the centre of the pan we pitched our tent again. At noon on Thursday the cold was beyond endurance, the fuel was nearly consumed, and we then looked ahead for fuel to last Thursday night.

We reckoned on the balance of the boat, three trunks, a quantity of mail news

paper matter, ete., to last us till Friday morving. By this time most of the men had given up all hope of reaching land,

jand for my part | think if we had to

spend Thursday right in the Gulf there would be few remaining on Friday morning to tell the terrible tale. At this time few, ifany, had hopes of ever seeing land. QOueof the meu be- came quite delirous,and thus added to the horrors of the scene. We were all then inside the camp, looking out at inter- vals. The crew thought it useless to move until they saw something to move for. The passengers wished to move at all events, thinking it best to die on the move than like rats in a hole. About four o’clock we were all lying about inside the boats half asleep, when Muncey Irving went out, and immediate. iy sung out, “* Land ho! not three miles away.’ Everyone at once scrambled out of the camp, and we all saw the land, Strange to say, the news appeared to be taken very quietly. The men _ were really half-dazed from weakness, want of food, and a sense of suffocation trom being so long confined in the smoky camp. But all went to work willingly,and we packed up everything in the two remaining boats and started for the shore, which turned out to be nearer six or seven miles away than three. Some were only able to follow the boat, holding op, utterly without any strength. But all kept along until we struck the board ice. It was a struggle for life over a hard road. The two crews would ofteao have to combine to move one boat. We had to row through some 300 yards of lolly. We had only four oars between the two boats, and our way was mostly made by rocking the boats in the lolly, and one boat making way for the other. When we got to the board ice, we left the boats, after we got them twenty feet on it—the crews positively refusing to pull another inch. Almost simultaneously every man started for the shore, without bag or baggage. There was uo order of our going; the strovgest man went to the front, and the weaker followed. Morrison and I brought up the rear, as I wanted to take my valises. Morrison was pretty weak, but he shortly got ahead of me, as | was weighted by the valises) When I got about 200 yards from the shore, 1 was met by two young men who took my valises, and helped me_ along. These men had been sent down by the first of our crew who hed arrived at the shore. It was about 8 o’clock when | reached the house. It was a regular hospital, everyone being more or less frozen. It was then seen that three of our number was missing, and a party was sent out to search for them. They found Capt. Newton Muttart at a neigh. bor’s house, aud Mr. Glyddon was found in a barn, hands and feet badly frozen. He had followed Capt. Muttart, but had not been able to keep up with him. The other man, Sandy Muttart, was found in the marsh perfectly speechless, with his face badly frozen. ‘The people at the house (Angus McPhail’s) vied with one another in helping us. They spared themselves no trouble, and many of the passengers owe their lives to their prompt aud kind attention. A motly- looking spectacle was twenty men sitting with their feet in dishes of cold water, trying to draw out the frost from their frozen limbs. The walk from the board ice to the shore (about two miles) was a severe task for many of the crew. It was the last struggle for life, aud many of the men arrived at the shore with just power to mcve one limb in front of the other, aud barely conscious. Until the morning the men could not tell to what degree they were frozen. Some of them had kept their limbs in water five or six hours. It was then found that all the crew and passeogers, with the exception of Dr. Melntyre, the three Campbell brothers, Munucey Irving, Hanford Allan and Bluch Robertson, were more or less frozen. Those who were most severely frozen were Mr. Glyddon, Mr. Millett, James Muttart and James Mor- rison. My own injuries are but trifling compared with many others. 1 am firmly of opinion that there was unnecessary delay in starting, that had they got away at 8 o'clock there would have been no difficulty in making the crossing. This delay should not have occurred, and the day was such when the start was made, that it was almost madness to make it. It was then beginning a regularp orth-caster,and [hesitated about leaving. That boats should start so inefficiently equipped, is, in my opinion, nothjag short of crimiual. The conduct of the men will probably be investigated before the proper authorities. Mr. Fraser declined for the present to give any expressiov of Opinion. But we are informed sutlicient- ly trom other sources to say that no delay should be made in making a thorough examination. The travelling public have now an opportun- ity of learning for themselves under what | protection they cross the straits,

Messrs. Irving and Muttart, on behalf! of themselves and boats’ crews, return their warmest thauks to Mr. James Colemap, Superintendent of the P. E.

and Tormentive avd Charlottetown, and | others,for the interest manifested,and de- sire to do everything within their power that might have led to the rescuing of the

missing boats, crews, passengers and mails during their perilous

attempt to cross the straits, and for the promptness in despatchivg medical aid to the suffering on landing; also to the people of Black Poiut, who assisted them

on shore, and kindly did everything within their power to alleviate their

sufferings,

The terrible experience of the men who landed at Argyle Shore, is ouly rivalled by the sad incident which oc- curred in the year 1855, They are, indeed, two sad incidents in the history of our winter mail commuuication. — In the year 1855, ou « fine Friday in March, the iceboat carrying the mails, and ac- companied by Messrs. Johnson, (now Dr. Richard Johnson of this city) and Henry Haszard, (son of the late James 1). Haszard) two medical students on their return trom college,and a Mr. Wier, of Badr, Me., as passengers, left Cape Tormentine for Cape Traverse. The boat proceeded on her way without en- countering any unusual obstacle to her progress unti! she got within halfa mile of the Cape Traverse shore, when a violent squall of whirlwind, charged with a blinding snowfall, suddenly burst upon her with so much force that the crew found themselves utterly uvable to keep their course or make the least headway through the darkness and violence of the storm which had so unexpectedly sur- rounded them. They could now do nothing but try and shelter themselves as best they might from the fury of the storm. For this purpose they turned up their boat on a large cake of ice, and gave the passengers the fullest benefit of the shelter that could thea be afforded them. In this condition they drifted before the storm all night, and in the morning found themselves driven far out ef their course into the middle of the wide part of the Gulf, and several miles from the nearest point of either shore. Here they were driven backwards and forwards by the tides and currents of the Gulf during the whole of Saturday and Sunday nights, with- out being able to make the least headway towards landivg. On Sunday morning Mr. Haszard became unable to walk, and had to be hauled in the boat by his fellow-sufferers, who gave him all the aid and attendance they could bestow upon him, and made efforts— which, under the circumstances, might well be called heroic—to save his life, but in vain. The exposure of the three nights and days proved too great a strain ou his somewhat delicate constitution, and on Monday evening, in the iceboat out in the middle of. the Gulf, he breathed his last. The survivors, after suffering the hardships of exposure in the Gult one night longer, at last suc- ceeded, on Tuesday morning, in landing with the boat, containing Mr. Haszard’s body and all the mails, at a point near Wallace, Nova Scotia. Here they were most hospitably received, and had all their wants most kindly attended to until they had recovered sufficient strength to stand the exposure of removal to their own homes with perfect, safety,
