Further Concerning the Loss of the Indian.
ST. JOINS, n. F., Nov. 27.-We have received a
lengthy account of the wreck of the steamer Indian,
which, however, presents very few facts not alrea-
! dy known.
| When the news first reached Halifax that
| steamer was ashore off the point indicated there
great excitement there, as it was fully believed
! to be the Delta, which had left that port few
! days before for Sydney with number OF passen-
gers and the first intelligence which reached Hall
fax that the wrecked vessel the Indian ard not
the Delta, was strangely enough received from the
agent Of the Associated Press in New York.
On this intelligence being confirmed, active pre-
parations for relief were made by all the public
functionares shore, well as the officers of the
British war vessels lying in the harbOr.
The result is already known. 1t is believed that
but twenty-four, or, at the most twentyseven souls
were lost and the most of these were drowned when
the ship parted in two.
Many of the passengers who were saved were
robbed of all baggage by the people on shore, and
left utterly destitute.
