TTTE pritSEH S BTAT7?MHXT, Tlio purser of the ill-fated steamship gives the following narrative :—We were seven days out on Saturday night. I was sleeping in my berth when the collision occurred. Hushing ou deck I descried a sailing ship, and three minutes later gained the fearful con- viction that the steamship was going j down by the IM>W. Thirty or forty paa I eemgera manap* d to gi*t into the long- ! boat, and life grew strong within them when they were tr^iu\ from the sinking j vessel ; but, suddenly, the inizzenmast j fell and left the tide of the vessel, killing or wounding nearly all of thcin. I Immediately afterwards tlie mainmaat ! fell on the deck, killing and wounding more. The water was rushing down tho windpipe with fearful velocity. The vessel was sinking. I jumped over- board, with another, and commenced swimming towards the Ljch Earn which was half a mile off. \ Looking around I *aw the steamer disappear, without reeling, going down heiul foremost. For a moment a mighty shriek rent the air—the last outbreak of agony. A rtenthlike calm succeeded the noise and tumult. The Captain re- mained on the bridge during the whole scene. He was rescued out* hour later. Hix officers out of fifteen were saved, all by swimming for life, with the excep- tion of the Frst Lieutenant, who went in a boat to the Loch Earn. The Purser here added a touching narrative of the conduct <>f a French priest, his calmness on deck, where he remained dispensing his blessings to the people, nnd continued: •* The boats cruised until ten o'clock next morning, engaged in the hopeless tusk of picking up others of the Mir- vivors. J remained on Iwwrd the British ship until three o'clock and was then transferred to the American hhip T11- mountain, Captain Urquhart.\ Captain Unjuhart gives the following narrative!:—\ On Saturday morning I saw a vessel on the weather bow, with bowspiit gone and sails flowing, which proved to be the Loch Earn, of Glas- gow, Ixjtuifl for New York. The captain asked to transfer the passengers and crew of the steamer Ville du LuKlneera. kh^ improvement of our r!rert and btrboet couftWts cbtcfii lu giving tncreused m idle SL| depth to en«iing coauoel ways and basinaj anu protecting them, or incrraslog new cbao* neln and baama and giving tnrtn proactive murks.
