the passengers and five Of the crow Of the Aric from

That brief announcement created more excite
meDt and thankfulness than any similar announce
ment within our recollection. The population
rushed en- masse TO THE TRIBUNE aad other
newspaper Offices, to hear glad tidings and
thousand anxious friends waited in trembling
hope to hear the names that were to make them
wild with Joy or plunge them again into the
depths of despair In few minutes the follow

Here the dispatch broke of, but we were given
to understand that Capt Luce would send over
the wires as soon as possible, full report Of the
incidents connected with his escape from the
wreck, ard The TRIBUNE made arrangements to
receive and place the same before the public the
moment it came TO hand.
Accordingly about y. NJ. we issued the full
statement of Capt. Luce, in an extra shee. and
thousands of them were scattered through the
City and adjacent towns Such was ihe anxiety
Of the people TO get hold of this authentic and
important document, that great many leit their
seats in the theoters and purchased THE TRIBUNE,
returned to read Capt. Luce's story, utterly re-
gardless Of the plsy going on before them. In
one house there were probably hundred men
thus engaged at time, these passed the psPer to
others, 40 that perhaps five times as many read
the statement during the play. The same was
the case in the hotels and ell public places; and
even under the awnings, at the hight of the storm,
men were grouped perusing the sad history.
We give Capt. Luce's dispatch below together
with such other facts Of interest as have reached
ma, including an interesting account by Mr..
Gilbert We also add verbatim reports Of Sermon.
on the subject by the Rev. HENRY WARD
BErcHER of Brooklyn. and the Rev L. II.
CHAIN Of this City. These celebrated clergy
men were expected by the public to mention the
matter and long before the usual time their
churches we're crowded to their utmost capacity
and Thousands went away because there was no
possibility OF getting hearing place. Their dis
courses fully justified tkis effort on the part Of the
people.
