That there are now staying at the Shakespeare Hot
at The corner Of William and Duane streets several
on the poor fellows rescued from the steamer Austria
IN de'tltute condition Two Of them Sven Peterson
and Hermann Rander, both seafarng men, and
Swedes, have called upon Us and told us their story
They were on their way California where they have
been beIor-ope Of them in the Government service
and had been home o visit to their friends. Tney
had ample means TO pay their wsy back to California,
but, u course, lost everything al that terrible ship
wreck. One Of them, Peterson, had with him sis
tor and her husband who had been married only FIVE
weeks. Pedersop veuld not leave tie burning vessel
until he was sure that his relatives provided with
the best means Of safety that could be procured Be
fore jumping overheard he saw his brother-inaw af-
ter urg,rg him to avail himself Of fragment OF

throw Themselves, lower bis wife upon hatchway

ard Randre with two other mes. then lad hold OF
portion Of one Of the STAYED bost' and, with this
partial support they coutrved 10 sustain Themselves
for sI hours till they picked up five miles asters
OF the burning steamer, by the boat of the Maurice.
ard were the last rescued by that vessel Here Peder-
son hoped 10 find his sister and her husband among
tbose whom they the bark picking up through
the afterDOon but he learnt from man, VITO
saved by clipging TO the bob-stay Of the
steamer that 10 sooner his sister lowered upon
tho hstchway and joined by her husband than
their place Of refuge was discovered by others,
and number of persons rushed ever the side,
and preciptated themselves upon It. The rOp.
that sustained it at one end gave way, and they
were all washed off into the ses-the steamer being
still under headway--except the wife whose husband
had placed her forward with directions TO cling to the
rope that was made fast at that end also. The hus
band, PederOn's informant them regain the ship
and hang to rope trailing the side, but what
became of them afterward he nnabe to say. But
the name Of the brothern-lsw is among those saved
10y the Norwegian ship al Quebec; the sisters is not.
His name il Peter Svinsen.
From these two meu-PedersOn and Rander-we
learn, what should be made public that the agent OF
the Austria here, Mr.. kuhnardt, has clothed and
boarded them and presume, their ellowsuiierers,
since their arrival in this city. They very anxious
to get on their way to California, and would gladly
shp for a voyage there if opportunity should offer,
were they sufficiently clothed. Though Mr. Kuhnardt
has generously given them suit each, this is not
sufficient outfit with which TO start on long voysgc.
II is to be hoped that appeal on their behalf will not
be made in vsn and those who wish TO see for them
selves their necessities and administer TO their relief
can do 70 by calling at the Shakespeare.
