About 12 o'clock, when nearly opposite Black Point, tire was discovered in the galley,and although the crew done all possible to ex- tunguish the flames, their efforts proved unavailing. Finding all their efforts in this endeayor futile, the OGaptain headed the eraft for the shore. The fire was spreading rapidly and the heat was becoming intoller able, though the temperature of the out- side air was some degrees below zero, the wind was fresh and a_ bold rocky shore gave them little chance for their lives. Two _ thirds of the distance was steamed, when the engineer was unable any longer to remain at his post, and all hands made a rush for the small hoat and launched it; but by some unfortunate accident it capsized, was_bat- tered agaist the side-of -the vessel and drifted away. At last, a grating sound was heard, the vessel was grounded about 125 feet from the shore. This was a cal- amity to five of the crew at least, for they a stroke. could not swim Their captain here came te their rescue and proved him- self a here. Casting aff his haots and clothing, he threw himself into the raging gea and struck owt for’ the land. Borne back again aud again by the receding - waves, he at last gained Then by a superhuman effort threw aline, which the a footing. one of the crew captain caught and made fast. To that slender cord four men owe their lives. One man, John Sinclair, impatient at the delay, had constructed a vaft and act inpted to mmke the shore, but exhausted and overcome by cold, he fell from it and was drowned. At daybreak the ¢aptain ana four men started in their miserable plight to search for a dwelling, and after two miles walk through snow and an atmos- phere below zero found one, the inmates of which proved to be true, hospitable and kind-hearted men and women. After furnishing them with clothes and food,they drove them to this city. English Parliamentary Maiters. Lennon, Dec. 2, The Pall Moll Gazette says that Lord Randolph Churchill is not satisfied with the explanation of his resignation which the Marquis of Salisbury has put forth, and has declared his intention of explaining the Premier's explanation. This, Lord Ran- dolph declares, unduly narrows the issue; and he will emphasize what he calls the hetween himgelf and Lord Salisbury on nearly every political question, Mr. Chamberlain has changed his mind, and has informed Lord Salisbury that he will do his best to induce Lord Hartington to accept office. ‘ wt It is possible that Lord Hartington will accept office, although the Whig Unionists distrust Chamberlain’s good faith and are prepared to urge Lord Hartington not to accept oftice simply owing to that distrust T aenieeibhs The Ontario Elections.
