THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1861.

of Cape Clear--surcly this is a monstrous prac-
tical sarcasm.

It is impossible, however, to regard such •
catastrophe as a common and accountable inci-
dent. The shareholders in the t; RE VT EA:47IILN are,
we believe, an utssuuaUy large and scattered body,
but the passengers from England to America in
steamships are a much larger portion of the public,
and its due to both that the causes of this disas-
ter should be severely investigated. It is idle to
talk about terrific gales ; Atlantic steamers
are meant to meet and to conquer " terrific
" gales." The Crex an and other steamships
may perhaps be gifted with extraordinary good
luck rather than with exceptional seagoing quali-
ties. Probably they seldom make a passage in
the winter without "carrying away " something,
but somehow or other they don't disable their
passengers, and they get across what our Yankee
cousins call the Pond. What, then, is it that
distinguishes the I.; 11.Y.AT EASTYAN in this disastrous ,
fashion from steamships of an ordinary size and I
capacity Is it the size that " makes calamity of
"so long life " ? Is it precisely that enormous
length, which was supposed to have reduced an
Atlantic voyage to the insignificance of a trip
across the narrow seas —to have made
seasickness • nightmare of the barbarous
ages, and "rolling and pitching" • vague tradi-
tion of affrighted landsmen ? Our readers will
remember the pleasant stories of ships so big
that in the heaviest seas they could always ride
across three waves as snug as the Ark on the
slopes of Ararat. See what these "three waves"
can do with a tlitenr EAMTERN ! One carries
away both her paddles, another wrenches off
her milder post, and the third washes the cow-
house into the ladies' cabin. One thing is clear to
the merest Wickman. This disaster to the GUAM
Esirraam is the result of defective steering. Let us
not be misunderstood. We are far from imputing
careless or incompetent seamanship. It is not to
be imagined that with such • ship in charge in a
"terrific gale," the steersmen would be allowed to
go to sleep over the wheeL But it is certain that
a single instant's inattention to the helm, or a
single wrong turn of the wheel, or • turn too late,
must put any ship in such a sea in imminent
danger of broaching to, and then to bring her head
round again before the sea has made a clean sweep
of her decks is difficult enough in any came. How
difficult with • ship as long as the GIIATEASTVIN,
let this catastrophe bear witness ! This is a matter
of most serious iniportance while we go on building
ships longer and longer. Is it not time to
pause and consider whether, beyond • certain point,
size means safety, and not rather increasing danger,
in proportion to increasing difficulty of seamanship?
Doctors tell us that a child will survive a fracture
or a fever when the prick of a pin would kill •
giant. Draymen are not types of strength and
health ; and it may be that colossal steamships
are not exceptions to the natural order.

Os froun.

DISASTER TO TEE GREAT EASTERN.

The unlooked for disaster which has befallen the
Great Eastern has caused a lively feeling of regret
among all classes in Liverpool. The accident, it
appears, turns out to base been even inure serious
than the telegrams led the public to believe. The
great ship after leaving the Mersey, about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon of the 10th instant, proceeded all
well until the afternoon of the following Thursday,
by which time she had got about 280 miles west-
ward of Cape Clear, when she was met by a fresh
breeze, which speedily swelled into a hurricane of
most destructive violence, yet seemingly but partial
in its range. On examining the lug of the Royal
Mail steamer Canada, which arrived at Liverpool
on Sunday morning, and must have been on
Thursday somewhere in proximity to the position
occupied by the Great Eastern, it appears that ou
Thursday the Canada experienced, l a strung
wind," and on Friday a " inning gale," but except
these observations nothing special is noted in the
log referred to.

(MOM A PARAZNOIL)
4./UERNSTOWN HARBOUR, CORK,
TUESDAY, SEPT. 17.

To the great delight of ourselves and to the great sur-
prise of everybody else we and ourselves safely here, after
Living been six days at sea, and having during that period
encountered disasters which will be memorable in the
history of the Great Eastern, although her name has been
too much associated with disaster already.
We sailed from the Mersey on the afternoon of the 10th
inst., and steamed steadily down to the Channel, amid the
cheers and good wishm of thousands of spectators, not one
of whom could have imagined how small was the chance of
their ever seeing her again.
The fact of her having twice made the passage of the
Atlantic in safety had opened up a brighter prospect for
her ; but within 4$ hours of her commencing this presage
to New York she was in greater peril than she had ever
been previously, not omitting the fearful explosion on her
fiat trial trip.
We had nearly 4C3 passengers on board, including an
unusual number of ladies and children. With the crew we
made up a total of SC3 souls. We proceeded very satisfac-
torily during Tuesday night and Wednesday, our speed
averaging from 12 to 14 knots per hour. We last sighted
land soon after noon on Wedneeday,and biter in the day the
stud changed from south-mat to north-west, blowing froth.
can render the events of the next few days more distinct
by adopting the form of a diary.

THURSDAY.

This morniug we have a fresh gale, with a good sea.
Noou.—A heavy gale ; wind from north to west ; sea tre-
mendous. We roll very heavily, and ship many seas.
1 now begin to understand the true meaning of a gale
iu the Atlantic. The captain looks anxious, but the
passengers have faith in the "big ship." The " rolling"
is fearful, and quite upset. all persons' notions of the
steadiness of the Great Eastern. One of our cows has her
leg broken ; in ■ short time they are both " rolled" to
death. 2 o'clock.—Things look worse. The captain tries
to put our bead to the wind. The port paddle gives
way with a great crash in the attempt. The jib is
set, I presume to aid in steering, but it is blown to ribanda
in a few monrenti. The rolling increases ; the deck pre-
sents an angle of forty-five degrees, and none but ei
purienced seamen can walk about. Attention is suddenly
drawn to the boats; they are suspended on either side, but
mostly on tined davits. The heavy rolling brings the boats
iu violent contact with the waves. The tackling of the
longboat, becomes deranged ; a man and a boy enter it to re-
medy the evil, but the wind strikes the boat, and gives the
occupants forcible ejectment—happily upon deck, and in
a moment, it is floating far away from us. Four other
boats share a similar fate in rapid succession. Continued
efforts are made to btiog the ship to the wind. I watch
the men at the wheel—there is almost ea army of them.
They are contending with an element whose power they
are indeed familiar with, but cannot fully estimate. They
still stand to their post, and we still have hope. 5.45.—0ur
position is becoming indeed critical. A tremendous sea
has just struck our stern. It has broken her rudder-bead
and clone serious damage to her etern-post. Still, we are
not quite at the mercy of the waves ; we have our screw,
and we have our starboard paddle. The wind is now get-
ting to the south-west.

faow leave the deck, where I have been studying the
peat lesson of the deep, and feel anxious to know how
matters are progressing below. As I descend the stains*.
I hear a crashing which even deadens the roaring of the
wind and waves. I pass the storeroom ; its shelves are
empty, and the crockery which filled them fighting a fierce
battle on the floor below. I pass into the grand saloon,
but a change Las come over the scene. Everyone who
►as visited this ship must have been struck with
the gorgeous magnificence of her saloons, her easy
lounges, her brilliant chandelier, her numerous
and extensive mirrors, the regard to comfort and ele-
gance in every shape. But the lounges are now overturned,
the tables are thrown down and broken, the chairs are fran-
tically chasing those who but a few moments before had been
their fair occupants. The stove from the centre of the
room is adrift ; it has wreaked its vengeance upon a large
mirror, but has mischief in it yet. Books leave their
shelves without the slightest solicitation, and present
themselves to the mental development in a manner
not calculated to aid reflection. But the ladies and
children !—where can they seek protection ? Some
have, indeed, sought their cabins ; but the ma-
jority are huddled in corners on the floor, and
terror is strongly marked on their faces. The stewards are
capturing the various articles of furniture, and binding
themdown as they would so many wild sod savage beasts. I
venture in to assist, and am rewarded for my indiscretion
by being hurled violently against the mirror, which had
been "starred' by the stove. It falls into a thousand
pieces, and indicts injury upon many. 1 am, perhaps, the
greatest sufferer. I have my head cut, my little finger ilk.
located, and a tooth knocked out. Every fresh lurch adds
to the destruction nod the damage. I leave the grand
saloon a more complete wreck in apposition than it was
the day after the explosion on the first trial trip.
There is much more to see below, but I am anxious to
know how all is iioing on deck The ship, I now learn con.
lidentially, is considered unmanage,ble. The snapping of
the redder-heas is a double misfortune. Lt allows the
rudder to swing round upon the screw, and entirely pre-
yenta it from being worked. The ship has begun to drift
into the trough of the sea. Another effort is made with
the remaining paddle to turn its Laid. The effort is too
much—this paddle now gives way, and at last we are (10
p.m.) at the entire mercy of the waves. Happily, but ens
or two on board know of the full extent of ou• misfortunes,
or there would be very few beds occupied. May the great
Ruler of the waves have mercy upon us this night ! The
trysail just set is blowing in ribands before the wind.
FRIDAY, 6 A.R.

I rise from a feeble attempt to sleep. The gale is still
furious. We are drifting before the wind at the rate of
three or four knots an hour. We have never been more
than :100 miles from land. We are drifting eastward now ;
but, even if the wind does not change, it will be many days
before we CIA reach land in this manner. The pumps are
all going. 1 do not like the sound, but am assured that they
hove complete mastery over the water. The water has got
in through the ports and by way of the deck. The captain
is a brave fellow, and keeps his spirits up wonderfully. He
is ever keeping the men steadily at the wheel, although
the rudder has been gone for many boon. He knows the
alarm a knowledge of this would create. I overhear a con-
sultation between the captain and some of the officers.
Something must be clone to try and turn the ship's head,
and then, if the wind abates, mil will be set, and we may
reach a port in safety. How is it to be done? A large spar,
marked as weighing four tons, is to be heavily loaded with
iron, then fastened to an rlOllOllll9O hawser, and thrown over-
board. This method has been succerifully employed on
similar occaidoin with great success. It is being prepared,
and I go down in the meantime to have another investiga-
tion below. Luncheon is set in the dining saloon. Some
cannot eat, but still many seats are occupied. The rolling
—or now, more properly speaking, "rocking," for the move-
ment is violently from side to side—coma on again with re-
newed force. The passengers catch hold of the tables to
support themselves. The tables are not fastened, for who-
ever supposed the big ship would become so rampant ?
The tibles give way, and the scene of the grand saloon is
enacted again with fearful violence. The stewards rush in
to the rescue, but in two minutes every piece of crockery
on the table is inevitably smashed, knives and forks By
about in reckless confusion, and the scene closes by a gene-
ral accumulation of tables, chairs, crockery, passengers.
and stewards in the middle of the saloon. The destine
tice of property by this one casualty may be counted by
hundreds. I return to the deck. The spar is being thrown
over, and it certainly steadies our movements. But we an
still in the trough of the sea—still at the mercy of the

winds. It is now evening. It is the second day of our
misfortunes, and we do not see the end of them. A.
meeting of the passengers is held. They Gee the difficul-
ties tuaufully. We are out of the track of vessels. It may
be some days before we meet with aid. lo the meantime
we, must be careful of our resources. A committee is
appointed to confer with the captain, and a
working committee to watch and protect the in-
terest+ of the passengers. The captain and officers e,‘,„t,
save the ship—we must aid in preserving discipline. I tau
appointed chairman of the working committee, and go
through the ship by virtue of my office. I thus learn
much more of the destruction of property and of the con-
dition of the passengers than I knew before. The noise
produced by the continued rocking of the vessel is dreadfiiL
Bottles, broken crockery, knives, forks, and plated articles
oonstautly dashed violently from side to side of an nest
ship, produce the very agony of discord ; and the
chorus is brought up by a tallow cask wei,;:iing
many hundredweight, and a chain cable weighing many
tons, which have got loose in a largo compartment of
the vessel, and spread consternation and terror throughout
the ship. We get these matters remedied, and we take
very stringent precautions against fire, which is the only
clement required to make our misery complete. There are
more aching hearts than sleeping eyes to-night.
SATURDAY, 5.30 A.M.
- -

A friend comes to tell my cabin companion that the
water is making fast on the pumps, that all hopes of
safety are now over, and that it is only a question of
time when the boats shall be knvered. I dress quickly,
and take, as I consider, a farewell view of my cabin.
On getting to deck I find the alarm a false one. lie had
only learnt what I already knew as to the steerage, and the
water was not gaining upon the pumps ; but the batches
were open, and the noise of the water rushing from side to
side, with the rocking of the ship, is really alarming. The
gale has in a great measure subsided, but there is still a
strong swell. We are drifting steadily along, whither we
hardly know. A little later I find our course has been
much as follows. Yesterday we were going nearly due
north, to-day we are going south-west. Our chief hope
now hes in sighting some vessel ; but we are still miles
from the line of ships. Many anxious eyes span the horizon,
and many learn, almost for the first time, of the dreary
loneliness of the great ocean, except in the beaten tracks of

A uew subject of interest arises. There is scarcely a
cabin in the ship to which the water has not found its way.
Many require a change of clothes, and the hatchways of the
baggage stores are opened. The scene that presents itself
detlee all desorption. l'he water has got in, and in suffi-
cient force to float even many of the larger articles. The
rocking of the ship has set the whole mass in motion. It
has the free range of a compartment some 60ft. square, and
twenty.four hours of such friction has reduced portmanteaus,
hatboxes, dressing-cases, and all the personal chattels inci-
dent to 400 passengers into a mass of pulp such as could not
be rivalled by one of the most powerful shoddy mills in
the West Riding of Yorkshire. I go down, for I have •
personal interest in this mass of ruin. Identity is out of the
question. Here are the spangles of the dress of an actress ;
and there the sleeves of an officer's coat. On this aide the
rim of • hat, on that the leg of a dress boot. There ham
been most gross negligence in this matter, and the misery
which will be occasioned to some portion of the passengers
I need not dwell upon, because words cannot adequately
express it. Later, I see men feeling cautiously with their
bare feet for jewels and money, in which this desolation is
said to be rich. flow they will identify their own, and re-
sist the temptation of taking that which is not theirs, is be.
yond my philosophy.
The sea is getting more quiet, and a new hope springs up.
An American gentleman, • Mr. Towle, a civil engineer, and
a passenger, suggests a means of repairing our rudder. The
captain places the engineer department at his disposal. To•
morrow will decide. We still look oat for a friendly sail,
and rockets go up, and blue lights burn as darkness coma
on. 9.3o.—There is • cry, " A sail!" "A sail !" I look.
It is close upon us. A small brig. She speaks us. She is the
Magnet of Halifax, and has men our distress signals. Now
for the first time during three days there are signs of re-
joicing on board. Husbands embrace their wives—fathers
and mothers their children—she agrees to lie by us far
the night, and we rethro with renewed hopes.

SOYI)►T.

The sea is calm by comparison. We have drifted about
100 miles in two days ; at first in the wrong direction,
but are now getting right again, and are going south-wed.
I ask the doctor how many casualties have come under
his charge. He says 27, but adds that there are many
others. He has only dealt with the word. We have had no
loaf bread for two days. This ischiety oocasiened by • severe
accident to the baker, who was thrown across the bake-
house during the raging of the storm and has • compound
fracture of the leg. Barrels of biscuits are lashed in ratio=
conspicuous places, and we help ourselves. An American
service is read by the Rev. W. Patton, 11. D., of New York.
The steering arrangements are going on well, and hope is
expressed on all sides—it is written upon all faoes.
There is a joy which does not bud its expression in words
or cheers. The ship moves not by the drifting of the sea, of
which we have grown so tired during the last few dam but
by meausof her screw, and herhead is being brought round;
but her direction is home. Neither the temporary expedient
which is now steering us nor the general condition of the ship
justify the captain in remaining in the Atlantic. We are
280 miles from Cape Clear. We may hope the screw will
take us eight knots per hour, and we shall see land in 36
hours. Au English service, conducted by the Rev. W. B.
Banister, of Liverpool, was held as soon as we were well cet
our way. The moon shines brightly ; the sea has mums&
almost • dead calm ; the deck, °ere gay, and we are all
comparatively happy.

MONDAY.

We are progressing steadily in a dead calm. At 10 a.m.
we sight the Persia. We meet her with mingled feelings of
joy and disappointment. She left her port four days after
na, and will carry obscure tidings of our misfortunes to
New York, for we cannot stop our engines without imperil-
ling our tempoiary steering arrangements. She sees we are
distressed, and °onus round us. She clearly does not under-
stand why we do not stay our course ; and she proceeds on
her way, for she carries the mails. She has important do-
'patches for many here, myself among the number. It
adds another link to the chain of our misfortunes. Nooo.
All goes well. We are putting our house in order u far as
possible. This evening we have had a meeting of passeir
gen convened to consider the incidents of this most =for.
tunate voyage. It is well attended, and the resolutions
will be given i• detail hereafter. They draw attention to
many points of grave importance, which I hope will receive
proper weight in the management sod form an appropriate
conclusion to this narrative.

Tummy.

We are in sight of land, and there is great rejoicing.
10 a.m.—We are off Queenstown, and beets are coming to
us. The destination of the ship is Milford. We have lost
DO 1 i yen, and the baker is the only person at all in danger.
The damage to the ship and its fittings must be eitiratted
by thousands. The paddlewheels are doubled up like phone
of iron hoop, and have now disappeared down to the shaft.
The rudder post was composed of solid iron, sense six or
eight inches square. The stern poet wia still more massive.
The boats can be replaces' readily. The destruction to the
fittings is more serious and implies no entire renovation.
The crockery and glass is en entire loss, nod the stores
have been destroyed in the most wholesale manner.
Captain Walker was formerly a commander in the Cunard
line. Ile left to join the Galway Company, and was ap.
pointed to the command of the Groat Eastern only ten
days before we sailed this time.
The following resolutions were passed at a general meet.
log of the passengers of the Great Eastern, held on her re.
turn to port, 17th of September, 1861 :
" 1. That we recognise with gratitude the kind care of
Almighty God in protecting us during the peril of the
storm and bringing us at last safely out of our danger.
" 2. That we feel it to be our imperative duty to state
that the Great Eastern wee sent to sea thoroughly unpre-
pared to fate the storms which every one must expect to
meet in crossing the Atlantic ; and that, if it had not been
for the extraordinary strength of the bull, and the skill
which was manifested le the construction of the vessel and
its engines, in all human probability every soul on board
would have perished. We call particular attention to the
ballasting of the Great Eastern, the state of her paddle-
wheels, the position of the boats, the insecure and most
perilous character of her internal fittings, and the careless
way in which die was stowed, owing to which carelessness.
in fact, a large portion of our luggage has been most reek-
lately and utterly destroyed.
"3. That we desire to express our satisfaction with the
conduct of the captain, especially since the occurrence of
the disaster which overtook! the ship, which has been marked
by a high degree of courage, fertility of resources. entree.
