These saved reported that of their own friends they had
lost 83, as above stated.

The emigrants saved are mostly in a destitute
condition, but are taken care of at the St. Andrew's
Home Quebec. We select from the Canadian
journals, a few affecting incidents of this great
tragedy, which has caused the deepest sorrow and
sympathy throughout the colony.
While 13,:dies were being recognised at Quebe
the scene was most lametAtable. Wives looking f
the dead bodies of husbands ; husbands looking fel-
those of wives ; fathersdpoking for children ; chil-
dren for fathers, and brothers for sisters—it was a
sight never to be forgotten. Frequently would
you hear the wild agonising shriek of a female as
she discovered the lost one, and the smothe red
choking sob of the strong man, as he came upon
the cold bodies of those dear to him.
Amongst the survivors was a venerable man
named Sinclair, 88 years of age, and somewhat in-
firm. He, too, was searching for a loved one lost.
As he examined face after face he kept saying,
"No, no, that's not him ; that's not my lad," and
his search proved fruitless for the time. He and his
wife, also very old, were both saved, but their son,
a young man of 20, after making superhuman
exertions—which God blessed—to save his parents,
himself perished. 'Twas a noble death to die. He
was a universal favourite with those on board. His
care of his aged parents, his watchfulness and soli-
eitule for their comfort, seem to have been above
all praise.

One young man among the rescued mourns as
one almost bereft of hope or chance of comfort. Be
left the mother country with his only sister, full of
life and courage, fitted for the struggle in this new
world. When the alarm was given, his sister,
frightened of the water, clung to his knees, and 193-
sought him not 'o leap into the river. He, believing
their only chance of safety lay in that direction,
leapt, taking her in his arms. Struggling to the
suffice, he lost hold of her. She sank, to rise no
more ; and he feels himself half guilty of her death,
and is like to go distracted.
Among the noteworthy incidents of the disaster
was the saving of her two children by Mrs. Bloom-
field, whose husband is in the employlof the Grand
Trunk Company at Toront 3. She held to a rope
with one hand, keeping the head of one child above
water with the other, and holding the other by fas-
tening her teeth in its dress. So heavy w.isthe load
that iwo of her teeth gave way and were lost, yet
she still retained her hold. At last a boat came

towards her, and men were screaming around her to
he taken aboard. She could not scream, but a man
seeing her situation brought the boat to her, telling
them she needed aid most. Then her strength gave
way at the prospect of relief and safety, end she
came near drowning ere she could be lifted into the
boat. She is a slight, delicate woman in appear-
ance, and one wonders how she was able to endure
so much.
The sub-cook of the steamer, of the name of
Lamontagne, wrenched the door off his room, and
being a most expert swimmer, succeeded in saving
eight children, at different trips, on his door. We
cal this youth a herd. Another, a gentleman from
Toronto, had collected some five or six children,
whose parents were lost, into a place, not much ex-
posed to the fire. He stood by the bereaved, ter-
rified, and. helpless little one 3, and was the last,
with them, to leave the burning wreck. We ate
sorry we cannot give his name.
Mr. John Brown, of Quebec, says that when he
heard the cry of fire the passengers ran to where he
was, so that it was impos-ible to move. Many, he
thinks, were crushed to death. The long boat WAS
then lowered, but so many jumped in that she sank
at once. Among those in it, he perceived his wife,
and jumping overboard he caught the tackling
which still held the long boat, and holding on with
one arm, he caught his wife in the other, and held
by the rope until it was burned, when he sank with
his wife into the water and remained unconscious
until picked up. When taken out of the water his
&ones were all burned. He believes that every
one in the long boat, with the exception of his wife
whom he saved, perished.
Mr. J. Meikle stateathat he went down with his
brother to meet their father, an old man between
70 and 80, and sister, with her four children.
He was sitting in the saloon with his father after
the boat had left Quebec, when his brother came
in, and said they need not be afraid ; the boat
d been on fire, but the flames had been put out.
He then left them, and they saw him no more.
Within a few minutes, however, the smoke became
insufferable, and the flames burst through. His
father's clothes caught fire, and notwithstanding all
efforts to save him, the father was burned to death.
The sister and her children were saved.
Some anecdotes are related of a very different
character. It is said that the captain himself, who
was saved, was seen to strike a woman's-knuckle*
as she grasped the boat in which he was, and
thrust her back into the water. Many of the dead
bodies were plundered by a gang of ruffians on
shore, and large sums of money, in one case sev ral
hundred pounds, taken from the pockets *ala%

was roused against him. ome of the crew of the
Napoleon then launched the batteau, and the
lumbermen having helped to man it, it rendered
most effective service, and a large number of per-
sons were saved in it.
Much blame has been cast upon the captain, and
on the owners of the vessel, by the local journals,
but the inquest, if it be properly conducted
should prove where lies the fault. It seems that at
the place where the Montreal was run towards the
shore a reef intervenes which prevented her reach-
ing it. A short distance below is a bay and sandy
beach. If she had been_run on there all might
have been saved.
