New YORK, Oct. IA.
The following is an abstrac' Of a letter
from Capt. Luce. II is addressed to Mr..
Collins. After detailing the particulars Of
the scene up to the point already known,
which agrees pretty well with the published
version, he proceeds to say that about
quarter to five the Arctic sunk, carrying
down all on board; and, after considerable
struggling. he rose TO the surface with his
son, whom he endeavored to support, but
was again drawn to a considerable depth,
and on rising, in a most exhausted state, a
portion of the wheel house struck his son on
the head. killing him instantly.
The scene was a~ful. The water was
strewn with men, women, and children. call
ing IN vain tor help and many caught pieces
OF the wreck and supported themselves
The captain and eleven others got on pad
die box, and one by one, during the next
two days, death relieved all but three of
their sufferings. Two vessels hove in sight,
but, owing to dense fog, they could not
make themselves seen or heard. Finally,
the ship Cambria, of Quebec, bore down for
them, aud after picking up the passengers of
the Vesta, she rescued Cart Luce, lien,
and others, and one Of the crew. They af.
terwards picked up James Smith. of Missis-
sippi, and five firemen.
Capt. Russell, who commands the Cam.
bria proves TO have been the commander of
the Jesse Stevens, whose memorable rescue
BY Capt. Nye, of the Pacific, will be long re-
membered.
The rescued were expected to leave for
New York to-day.
NEw YORK, Oct. l2, 2 p. NJ.
After carefully sitting all the testimony
bearing upon the disaster OF the Arctic, the
agents Of the Company are in strong hopes,
amounting almost TO a certainty, that Mrs.
Collins and a large number of the ladies'
were placed in one of the boats and safely
landed, under the immediate supervision of
Capt. Luce; aud there appear to be strong
reasons for the belief that the three missing
boats mry yet be heard Of, with many more
passengers. Three Of the Arctic's boats
have not been seen, but being liIe.boats, it is
supposed they have been picked up by passing
ships. Vessels sent in search Of the boats,
returned on Tuesday, Sd inst, without find
ing any of them, or any portion of the
wreck. A u the passengers and crew saved,
as advised yesterday, lef, Tor Boston in the
Europa.
