The isteamer began settling down, and I at- over the steamer’s side for a quarter of an hour, waiting forone of the boats. The sea was continually washing over us.

Neither of the other of them before leaving the vessel. afterwards we saw a steamer and hailed her. She passed under the schooner’s stern, and crossed her bows, and while the schooner was in the act of I»fiing, the steamer struck her. Al|l hands then took ie the beats and got on board of the steamer Liddesdale, and were landed at North Sydney this morning. After the vessel struck, the captain asserted the compasses were out of order. The captain did not wish Miss Fuirall to be placed in the boats at first a favorable opportun:ty to take her off. Mr. Shephard, the second Eagineer, says he was on watch when the steamer struck. The first intimation I had was a signal for full speed astern. I immediately reversed i | heavy thumps. The engines kept working jatfull speed astern till 3.25 a. m., three- quarters of an hour after the steamer first struck. I stuck to my post until a heavy sea came into the engine-room and carried me through the skylight tothe deck. An- other heavy sea came immediately and knocked me against the galley and a third against the hatches and winch. Then I got , myself and crawled aft. The first person | observed was the steward in the water who, a few minutes afterwards, was washed eon board. Ithen locked around on the other side of the steamer and saw a lady named Miss Fairall, who was a passenger. She was floating about among some wreck- which the sea would times wash over her, when she would disappear, but agein come to the surface. This was the last I saw of her, and I believe she was drowned, as there was no assistance ‘near her.
