When Capt Waters of the Prince Albert ascertained
that twelve of the Austras survivors had arrived, he
kindly offered all free passage, and detained the
stesner for the purpose of allowing them to embark.
Ten of th>n svsilcd themselves Of his generosity, and

THE NEWS HERR.
On the receipt Of the brief but terrible dispatch from
Halifax Yesterday morning. Immediately issued an
extra. The news spread like wildfre, and in short
time the distressed friends and relatives Of the passen
gers boseged THE TRIBUNE essbls lnent and crowded
the Office Of the Hamburg Consul, to learn their fate
Singuary enough, however, though the bark Lotus
arrived in Halifax Ilarbor on Sunday afternoon, not a
name was forwarded for than "A hours after and
what sent in season for our evening edition was
meager and unsatisfactory in the extreme. But that
little was sufficient to show the awful extent of the
calamity.
Right upon the heels Of the fire came the
explosions and the flames beginning to rage hercey,
the wild, unreasoning instinct OF seuprescrvation
swept down all discipline and authority. A rush WAS
made for the boats, and mob OF ahrghted people
dashed into them regardless of everything in their
esgerness to escape from the blazing ship The boats
were sw amped. and hundreds drowned thus the dsav
ter became tenfold more serious in ts effects than it
would otherwise have been.
But al such times il s Useless TO expect that discipline
will prevail. And yet in scenes of equal peril there

danger. When the Birkenhead troop steamer struck
rock, near the Cape of Good Hope, and broke intwo
there were only boats enough to the women and
children. There was no rushing nor crowding then.
Col. Moore called his brave Iunskilens and formed
them into line on the deck of the sinking steamer
while their wives and children embarked i'll the boats
Tho noble fellows as they stood in hne gave three
hoars cheers for their departing dear Ones and main
tanned their ranks unbroken till the deck "as swept
from under their feet and the sharks came to their
horrid fcust.
The repor; that the Austrls's magazine exploded,
her agent Mr.. Kunhsrdt, scarrely credits He states
that she never carried than fifteen or twenty
charges OF half pound each for her signal guns, and
that half OF those must have been fired at Hamburg
and Southampton; and the explosion could not have
come from the spiritroom there being none such on
board a. the Germans not addicted TO the use oi
ardent spirits.
The Ausiris. being foreign vessel does not file her
crew-lsi ut the Custom-llou- AMI the Consul says
thu; the only copy in existence WAS on board the vcs
sci. The only he could recoloct were Capt
Hey d,mann; Hahn, first officer; and HeydtInsnn,
