Cleveland Herald gives the following
particulars Of the sinking OF the steam
or Atlantic on Lake Ene:
Last evening the Sul:ana arrived with
some $50 OF the survivors. We con-
versed with several, who gave a most
narrowing account Of the catastrophe
They stated that Captain Petty was in
command Of the Atlantic at the time oil
the collision, and that he accounted for
the fatal meeting by mistaking the pro-
peller for boat bound to Buffalo. The

and directly opposite the furnaces, so
far as to carry away two or three state
rooms and open space for food 10 rush
into the hull The force Of the Atlantic
swung the propeller round, and the boats
Immediately parted. The Atlantic kept
on until the waters put out the fires
The cabins filed with steam and smoke,
which extinguished the lights. The
fremen and engineers abandoned their
posts ard most of the crew took to the
small boats. Capt. Petty received fall
which injured his head severely, and
partially incapacitated him from super.
vision. All was confusion and dismay,
The boat filled with water rapidly,
and sank by the head. The after por-
ton of the hurricane deck remained
above water, and most Of the saved were
taken from it. Many who were between
decks could not in the darkness reach
the upper deck, and many of the poor
Norwegian emigranis rushed overheard
or were drowned in ihe lower cabins
Il is supposed that numbers Of passen-
gers were drowned IN their slaie'rooms,
and others were known 70 have leaped
