NARROW ESCAPE ON THE PAMIHE PROM

DUBLIN TO HOLYHEAD.

The steamer Telegraph, Captain When, from
Dahlia to Holyhead, was planet on Friday morning is a
very critical position, which. but for the calmness of
the weather and the courage of the captain, might have
ended in an awful disaster. The steamer sailed from Dub-
lin on Thursday evening with about 250 paeeaegm and a
cargo of 400 live stock, including valuable race ones and
• large quantity of merchandise. Later In the night •

some severe injuries. Still he kept his post without

bull was torn like pasteboard, and the compartment of the
ship la which the bolas were was instantly filled with water.
In fact, it was the bulkheads that saved her, for had she
filled with water she would have gone down in about six
fathoms water, as there was quite that depth at her stern,
while her bows were on the rock. Not knowing the extent
of the damage, and consequently ignorant of what might
happen to the vessel at any moment, the captain directed
the passenger to be landed on the bare rock on which they
had attack. This was done by means of ladders from the
ship's side, and though • work of difficulty, and requiring
mash time in a dark tight, it wee done with the utmost

tired to attend to his own injuries. The passengers were
meanwhile in • very pitiable condition. They were placed
ea a rook, separated from the land by a narrow channel
beyond which the perpendicular cliffs seemed to afford so
opening for maps. Some of the neighbouring cottager,
their situation brought a boat to their relief. In
this magi. boat, into which they had to descend by a ladder,
all were in time ferried over. They bad yet many difficult
