The passengers who were saved report that tn,
weather was piercingly cold. The ice formed rap
made. number of those who attempted L
swim ashore became chilled and were drowned
while others were severely bruised and wounded
by the angry violence of the waves.
The total loss of life is not yet known. BY tn,
latest account it appears that twenty-seven bodies

The Atlantic was new boat, having been on thu
water only portion of the season, and was finished
with all the elegance that modern ant could bestow
Her cost has been stated at about $4,000
Mr.. Boyle, the clerk of the boat, escaped by
lashing on his person couple Of life preservers
with which the boat was fortunately well supplied
He expresses his deliberate conviction that but fo
these not person could have been saved. This fac
is worthy Of notice. ..
Many of those who have lost their lives were
killed, or so manned to be unable to help them
selves by the falling in of the promenade deck
The second sea which washed over the boat, after
she struck carried everything before it, completely
on board thirty of whom were from Boston. All
we're so prepared for the disaster that it is not like
ly any were below when the boat went to pieces.
Every kindness was shown to the sufferers by
Mr.. Winthrop, who resides upon Fishers island
But we regret to add that some persons busted
themselves in cutting open valises, &c and plum
derng from the wrecked. Two sloops were lying
at anchor in bay near by, and it is supposed that
some of their hands committed the thefts. .
1t is mentioned that clergyman Of the name of
Armstrong was among the passengers who were
lost. There is every reason to suppose that the
gentleman was the Rev. DIR, Armstrong, for 80
many years the corresponding secretary of the
American Board of Foreign Missions. He was ex-
pected at New York, and had left Boston with the
Of going there, and nothing has been
heard Of him since he left home.
