wreck OF The Arnao.

81. JOINS, July LIST.
All Of tho passengers who were aboart
the steamship Arago which was wrecked /,
Trepassy Bay, a few days since, hsv,
arrived here safe. The steam tue le0
again to-day, to bring mp the crew. and
what was saved from the wreck.
The following are the particulars of IN,
disaster: Between three and four O'Clock
Tuesday morning, the Arago made Cape
Zine, being IL miles from the coast The
pilot, crew, and all the officers were called
upon deck at the sight Of land, and the course
was changed, and made 8. II. by T.. This
should have cleared the coast, by 10 miles
from Cape Race. About quarter past four
a dense fog came up. At half past five the
captain spoke fishing schooner lie
asked, Where are you fishingl" The an
swer was, "On the eastern side Of Trepassy
bay, about mile and half or two miles
oh' The Captain then ordered the helm
to be put hard port, the engines to 20 on at
full speed, and the vessel to be kept S. s. Il.
by the standing compass.
This should have taken her clear of the
land The captain, and all the officers wers
on the deck The officer in charge at the
wheel gave the order STEADY, as the vessel
brought up 10 s. s. h. course. At that
moment breakers were seen, and the on
gines stopped, and reversed at full speed.
Before the ship got stern-way upon her.
she grounded. Her bow was on the rocks
at fresh water point eight miles from Ire.
passey. The boats We're lowered, and got
ready and the passeng rs embarked with but
little confusion, the women and children be-
us cared i0F brst. Anchors were then pass
cd out at the stern, the coal thrown over
board, the forward boilers blown Of, and
every eNertion made to get her off, but with
out success. The captain now sent the Pr
lot to Irepasscy TO get assistance when the
steamers Dauntless and Blue jacket were
dispatched Immediately
Sails were sent ashore, and tents made TO
protect the passengers, and when provisions
ana luggage could be got at they were also
sent.
The fishermen plundered the shin. A
hundred came around her, on hearing the
signal guns. They cut away her masts.
and completely skinned her. At 4 o'clock, !
p. m, the ship filed, fell on her beam. and |
sunk in six Cathoms Of water. The baggage
belonging to many of the passengers was
lost.
There was no house within eight miles.
AT O'Clock, p. m, the boat returned from
Trepassy, with assurances that two Steam
ers were on the way from st, Johns to assist
them. Tuesday night was passed in tents
with comfort. Wednesday the boats arrived
