seven days they were on the wreck,
during Eve Of which they were with
out food Of any description. The
ship struck at half past tour in the
morning. In less than ten minutes
alter the appalling shock the ship
parted in three pieces. About forty
people continued to cling to the bow
portion for nearly two days, when
they were nearly all washed off and
lost, with the exception Of about IF
teen, who were brought to the after
part of the vessel by means Of q rope.
Some very borrowing scenes Of sep.
arstion among the families OF FORE
cabin passengers occurred at this
time. All the provisions that were
saved in the fret instance was one
filter full Of water, O small bag Of al
nonds, twenty pounds Of cheese, hall
ham, ten pounds OF beef, eight bot.
ties of porter, and one bottle of whis.

night carried off it's victims-abou
twenty died on Tuesday night from
cold-it was a bitter night, death,
we're so frequent as to lose all ter
rors TO the survivors, who looked
callously on. Captain Harrison, o
the Waitemats, did all that man
could do, diving for provisions; be
suffered 30 much from the exertion
that he died from exhaustion or
board. He relates other acts OF he.
roism and self denial which to an ex
tent relieve the pain Of the melan-
choly narrative.
The country near where the wreck
took place is very thinly populated
and it was not till Monday morning
that the two Sailors who got ashor,
on a raft, reported the calamitous &C.
cident to the lighthouse keepers al
Cape Northumberland. Information
was Immediately communicated to
Melbourne and Adelaide. The Vic
torian government did nothing. On
Tuesday a number Of people from
Mount Gambler visited the scene o
the wreck, and discovered that 6
number of people were yet alive
when the Messrs. Honty immediate
ly ordered the Lady Bird, then lyine
at Belfast, to proceed at once to thu
wreck.
The Lady Bird was unable to fine
the wreck, and had to return to Port
land for information, so it was Fri
day at noon before she reached III,
spot. Equally unavailing were tn,
efforts Of her crew, augmented by
number Of experienced Whalers iron
Portland, to effect a communication
with the wreck. The seventh nigh
closed upon the wretched survivors
now redneed to twenty seven, tbei
hopes of relief almost utterly eKtin

night. On Saturday morning tn
survivors Were safely brought t
shore, in all twenty three. A grea
deal of feeling has been manifesto,
against the government, for the apa

A Wealthy Man.

The New York correspondent Of
the New Orleans Crescent gives the
following description Of Mr. George
Law:
If anything don't pay, George
Law respectfully drops II. He now
owns nine-tenths OF the Eighth Av.
enue Railroad, which alone is an
income OF Prince, and growing
more valuable every day. lie also
owns nearly ell the stock Of the
Ninth Avenue, which, when com.
pleted, will run from the Battery
through Greenwich street to the
Ninth Avenue, and thence to uar-
lem rivera nine mile concern,--
Halt the ferries belong to Law. He
owns the Dry Dock Bank, and the
bank owns about forty acres Of
docks, houses and land, almost in
the heart Of the city. Law owns the
Staten Island ferry boats, and two
miles OF water front nearest New
York, that in a few years will be
worth for docks, ten millions. He
really owns the Flushing Railroad,
and Heaven knows how much more
he owns. That immense thinking
brain keeps accumulating. ! don't
think he goes into large operations
now for the purpose oi making mo-
ney. ! think he works to keep from
stagnating, Though not a politician
he wields a very powerful influence
upon politics, especially upon local
affairs. Most persons have an idea
