LOSS OF THE MARY P Memorable Experience of Captain | = Benoit and His Crew, Captain James Benoit, of the wrecked schooner Mary P , was among the passen— gers by the Stanley on Saturday, and came to Caarloitetown by the special train in the afternoon. The Mary P., as previously reported, was wrecked off the coast of Curacea on the llth of Februery. She bad 1600 barrels of salt on board at the time. Captaia Benoit and his ship’s com- pavy had a narrow escape from drowning, and saved nothing except the clothing they stood in. The ehip’ ® Compasses, papers, etc., went down with her. The disaster occurred while the Mary P. was loading selt. The wind suddenly came around to the south-west, a quarter from which it had not blown for fifty years at that season, aad the schooner, which was anchored on a reef, swung round and struck, By putting eail on at once, how- ever, she cane off the reef and Captaio Benoit put her to #ea, there being no har- bor within th.rty miles to windward of where she struck, After sailing before the wind for about fifteen miles, Captain Benoit ascertained that his echooner was sinking and at once tacked for the land. This was at night, and it was equally with rain and there was a heavy sea running. The crew were at once setto pumping, but after they had been at work about half an hor ‘the pump choked and became useless. The water, which bad got into the hold in large quantities, caused the salt to move aboat atu lively race and it was not leng before the vessel was on her beam enda. It was then but a question ef time as to when the schooner would go under. The boat was lowered and the crew got iste it, with the exeeption of Cap‘ain Benoit who remained on board the schooner in the hope that he would be able to bring her ashore. But it was not long befere the Captain diecovered that he could do nothing turther with the vessel, and he had to jump into the boat which was being towed alonzside. About ten minutes later the schooner sunk, about half a mile from land. [i was about midnight when Captain Benoit left the schooner and got into the boat. It was exceedingly storiry, and the sea was ruoning bigh. They had neither water nor provisions ip the boat, and all that night and the fellowing day and night they were tossed about like a cockle-shell at the mercy of the angry sea, ‘ It was noi until the morning of the third dav that they got a chance to land, tbe storm having moderated and the sea gone down considerably. The coast in the vicinity, it may be pointed out, is very rocky, and there was no harbor within twenty six miles of the ecene of the wreck. Had an attempt been made to land before the storm moderated the boat would have been dashed to pieces on the rocks and there would have been no one left to tell the story of the wreck of the Mary P. The place where Captain Benoit and his crew linded was wild and uninviting. All were wet and hungry after their long strngele for life, and the hands and wrists of some of the crew were bad!y swollen from handling the oars, After landing the party had to walk about four miles through thick cactus a-k in their exhausted cone fore the first sign of civilization was ob-erved. This wae in the shape of vo huts oceupred by negroes, and they treated the survivors ofthe wreck to goat’s mik and guinea corn, which was greatly appreciated, Afier resting themselves here for about t¥o hours Captan Benoit and his sailors leftthe but-,and were guided to the main road, two miles distant, by the nevroes A walk of eighieen miles brot ught them to the town of Curacoa, where they reported to the British consul by wh« m they were kindly cared for. The Mary P., was owned by Mr. J. A. Ma he- on and Captai o Benoit. She was partielly insured. fr. Charles Moore, of thas Morea one of the crew of the Mary P., was in the hospital at the time of the disaster undergoing treatment for some ac sl trouble, and consequently escaped tse wreck and its attendant suffering. bush—a hard dition — be FOme siihlaiiesnscailiieldtscnintbineciian Tue Stantey.—The Stanley cros-ed to Pictou this morning as usual, i B’ ous? sets, see our window for a besuti fal selection of blouse sets.
