WRECK or TIE STEAMER HuyGARGAx.-The i'll

colst.ng vessel, of Liverpool. about z. ", On sun
day, 18th uit, apparently steering y. y. W, which,
unless she were ~ 70 distance Of at least twenty-five
miles from the coast, must have been nearly four
points OF her true course. 1t three O'Clock on the
following morning, "a man named Barry NickeTsou,
residing on Cape sable, deserted, exactly in the di-
rec'-uu ot the reef known rs the ''Iurse Race, what
he took to be the lights OF 4 steamer. These lights
when first seen We're stationary, and remained i'm
movIbly In the same position, as our informant
thinks, for more than halt AN hour, when they ap-
petred to move very swiftly in q northwesterly direc-
ton, and in the course Of ten or fifteen minutes be-
came once more stationary. Mr.. Henry Nickerson,
who resides on Fish Island. states that he first saw
'aN 'ENN IA h"N i'atN.'A "NsNl NN- "tiN- HN" HtA
pies, n four O'Clock, and comprehendiug that some
unknown vessel was in distress, aroused his son and
q ueighbor, crossed in a fishing skiff the inlet which
divides the island from Cape Sable, and, in the hope
Of attracting the attention Of the crew, exhibited a
lighted lantern from the highest point Of land that
could be found.
The lights Of the unknown vessel continued to be
visible until daybreAk, when they disappeared, prob
ably in consequence Of the fall of the mast TO which
they we're attached. As day iawuci the hull Of a
large steamship was plainly d'scernible ON the
Great Rip 81 dangerous ledge about two miles
southwest OF Cape Sable, the foremost gone, the mann
mast, EizZcnmast and smoke pipe only standing, and
the sen making u constant breach over tie ship. The
rigging of the mliumlst had the appearance, accord
ing 10 the statements Of our iniOrmants, Of being
crowded with human beings, to the number of be-
tween fifty and sixty Imposition we see no reason
10 discrelit. About half an hour after sunrise the
rnHInmnst was seen 10 90 overheard, the mIz2enmast
followed about 10 \. VI. The spectacle IS described
by those who witnessed it as one of terrific grandeur
the sea around white with breakers, the doomed
ship rolling heavily, rs surge after surge broke
against her iron sides, the spray dlshing in volumes
TO the height Of her masthead, and the pillows pour
ing in celseess cItaracts over her decks. The vio-
leuce Of the sea during the morning and the early part
Of the day was 50 great that II attenpt could be made
10 approach the ship. Not even a life boat could have
been got with safety through the breakers which en-
virouel the coast.
~ Q \ NJ, the wreck began to break up. and the
surface Of the deep was soon strewn with packages Of
light goods, the laling Of her upper decks. The cbb
tide, aided by a strong westerly wind, carried these
articles for the first few hours in the direction Of BAG
caro-, and into the bays and iulets beyond. The flood
tide, for the next few hours, carried whatever was
washed from the wrecks IN AN opposite direction. On
Tuesday, the wind having moderated, aud the sea
being comparatively smooth, "a great number Of boats
and several small vessels put of in search of the
drifting merchandise. Between four and five hun
dTel boats, il Is computed were for the first three or
four hours engaged ia this manner. The bales being
generally Of size which precluici their being taken
into "A boat, were broken open with "a few blows Of an
axe, the contents lifted on board, and the box allowed
TO 20 adriit. The quantity Of goods thus saved must
have been immense. but their wide dispersion viii
render the task Of collecting them for sale rather a
formidable undertaking. Several of the mail bags Of
the Hungarian were picked mp. These were taken
charge OF by the magistrates. and have ere now been
forwarded to Halifax. \ boat Of about fifteen feet
keel, with the oars dashed, driftei into Port Lltour,
bottom up. Other boats, shattered TO pieces, have
been seen floating in the vicinity. The only bodies
yet found are that Of a man, supposed to have been
one of the fremou of the ship. which was found NJ
HIrJ0r, and that Of a female child. about two
years Old, which WIS washed ashore az Siouey Island.
luquests were held ON both these bodies and both were
dyceutiy inferred.
