passengers having by this time mostly come

putting them ashore was commenced. The
ladies and children were first debarked, and
after them the male passengers. During
the performances of ibis arduous duty the
utmost care was takento prevent accident,
by keeping in check the excited crowd, who
would otherwise have rushed into ;he boats

ton. Spars, sails, provisions and fuel we're
sent ashore, tents rigged, fires lighted, food
cooked, and everything possible under the
circumstances was done for the comfort Of
the castaways. BY oight mattresses and

said to be fast choking up with sand. Cap
