Oliver P. Mannue, a passenger, gives
the following Information The brig
Marine was lying nearly q mile off, and
it became evident that the ship must go
down before they could get back. All
hands then seized pieces of spars, chairs
and life. preservers, while others rushed
below to procure the treasure. Now the
vessel gave three lurches; some of the
passengers jumped off az each lurch.-
Those who jumped off at tho first and
second lurches, swan off some distance,
but the great mass remained on deck
until the vessel went down, which was a
minute or two afterwards.
We were all drawn under the surface
at least 20 feet, and when VIC rose we're
nearly stihed. The rapidity with which
I was drawn down tore the spar from my
hands, and the life preserver from my
body, and when I reached the surface
my clothing was almost all torn off. l
however met a friend who had two life
p~reservers and who gave me one, and
we also seized on pieces of the wreck,
which helped to sustain US.
About 400 of the passengers were
struggling about, most of them having
lost their life-preservers, and others
seizing the pieces of the wreck which
came up with them. The Captain had
cut away the upper works of the ves:el
so that when the hull sank they would
float off, but they were all dragged down
and come up in fragments, many persons
were killed, stunned and drowned, BY
being struck by pieces of the wreck
whilst the pieces to others were the ul-
innate mean of safety.

ed to each other a sea of struggling
forms. Each ssrove to encourage HI,

in a mass, but soon the waves separated
US, and each successive fash of lightning

ourselves entirely alone OF the boundlcss
