MORNING LEADER.
The Accident to the Great Eastern.

The Accident 60 the Great Eastern.
The real facts in relation to the disaster
70 the Great Eastern have never been laid
before the public. The following is be-
heVed to be 8 correct narrative,
It will be remembered that on the yoy-
age previous to the present one, the Great
Eastern came to New York by the bay of
Long Island Sound, and at that time
narrowly escaped a similar accident.
She arrived off MOntank early in the
morning on her late voyage, headed in for
Montank Point and in the same close prox-
unity TO the shore as on the previous YOy-
age, although her pilot on that occasion
had expressed his surprise that she had
not struck. He informed the Captain Of
his narrow escape and warned him against
incurTing similar risks in the future.
The Great Eastern passed the pilot boat
and stood boldly into shoal water, when
her engines were stopped and she drifted
on at the rate of about three knots per
hour. Shortly after her engines ceased to
move, she struck on a rock and finally
drove on over it. The rock lies about two
and half miles to the Eastward of Mon
tank Point and even in ordinary weather
the water has the appearance Of being
shoaL
In about five minutes after she struck,
the pilot, Mr.. Joseph Dayton, of New Lon
don, went on board and took charge of the
ship. One of the first remarks on going
on board was, "You are in dangerous
place" To which the captain replied.
She has struck on a rock 1 am afraid"
In the course of short time it was
found that the water was entering the ship
and all the pumps were set at work to keep
her free. But in spite Of their combined ef-
forts, the compartment aft rapidly filed
with water, and the stern Of the ship set
tied down so that she drew thirty feet Of
water, when her anchors we're let 60 in
Flushing Bay.
At the time Of the accident the Captain,
our reporter was informed, was in the
cabin asleep, and most of the officers were
amusing themselves in the saloon, the deck
being left in charge of a young officer.
The public hsYe not been allowed to visit
her, nor could any information be obtained
from her officers and men.
The bottom Of the ship has been exam
ined, and it is found that the rock has made
hole about eighty feet IN length By three feet
is SCidth. The opening is by no means in
. bSEdiBnJAinei tnoEeDy rendering II more
difficult to repair.
As yet no decision has been arrived at
in relation TO the manner in which she
will be repaired, but it is not unlikely that
additional steam pumps viii be put aboard
and she be taken to some place where she
can be reached.
She still lies in Flushing Bay, and from
present appearances she will remain there
for some time.-Net0 York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.

may be dated from the first of April, as
the waters are now 50 generally free from
