DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.
a Collision Of Steamers by a0hich one hundred aud
Mirty,fre fres acere lost.
| CoNsrANTINopLs, July lion the night OF
the llth instant, on the Black Sea, about forty
miles east OF the Bosphorus, most dreadful ca.
tastrophe took place. Two Turkish steamers,
the one coming from and the other going to Ire
bisond, came into sudden collision, and one of
them went down with the greater part OF the crew
and passengers.
The vessels were the Scutari, commanded by
Mt. Dubblns, and the Medjehrai Tidjahret, com.
manded by Mr. Lambert. After the collision the
| vessels parted; the Medjehrai Tidlahret dropped
about mile astern, and in the course of less than
quarter OF an hour it was found she was sinking
! rapidly. The Scutari, which had got but slight
damage, :hen went to her help, but il was too
late.
! About seventy persons, by swimming and by
cilnging TO spars, reached the Scutari, where
they clustered around the paddle boxes until they
were taken In. Captain Lambert and an engi-
neer were picked up by boat of the Scutari.
All the rest one hundred and thirty-fve souls,
persisted. Their agony was a short one, but ii
was terrific.
/ AS the Scutari approached the wreck it keeled
over, Qhe people on the deck being visible i'm
moonlight,) and as the sea sucked her down
The vortex OF waters she formed in sinking almost
made the Scutari spin round with the motion
there rose scream OF utter hOrror-a last scream
which those who heard will never forget. But
more Impressive still was the passive resignation
oil the Turks; they sat motionless mutteriny their
prayers; neither by cry nor gesture did they man
Hest any CONSERVATION! In passive silence, a.
mid the shrieks of despair of Christians, the fa-
talists met their frightful doom. From the first
shock to the sinking of the vessel not more than
half an hour elapsed.
| The captains OF the two vessels were English
the engineers were also English.
