The crew were saved, out of the 444 on

The following is the FIRST officers state
ment;
HThe Anglo-Sazon left Liverpool on the
18th inst, at P. n. She experienced
strong westerly gales until Saturday, the
25th, at 8 P NJ, when she fell in with ice
and 8 thick fog. The engines were imme-
diately slowed. At 10 P n, the ice being
so thick and heavy, the engines were
stopped altogether, light breeze from the
south forcing the ship shead one knot an
hour. At 8 NJ, on the 26th, the fog lift
ed, and the ice having Stacked, we set the
foretopsails and headsails, moving the en-
Rines occasionally at a dead slow.
cat 1870 A. ", the fog cleared away al
together, and we saw clear water to the
west north Invest, from the masthead. We
continued our course toward clear water.
At P NJ we got the ship clear Of ice and
steered northwest By west with full speed
and with all possible sail. A moderate
breeze was blowing from the southwark at
this time. At noon the reckoning was, lat.
-46 81, long. 81 "a, by the chronometer.-
At 10 n. the breeze freshened and blew
strongly from south southeast, and dense
fog set in. We took in all sail at A. NJ,

dense, Gnd suppOsing the ship to be forty
miles off Cape Race, we altered her course
10 west half north, and slowed the engines
to half speed, which we supposed would
have taken us i miles south Of Cape Race.
At ten minutes past II A. N. breakers were
reported on the starboard beam.
4Captsin Burgess Immediately ordered
the engines to be reversed at full speed,
but before her hesdway could be stopped
she struck fat on the rocks of Clam Cove,
about four miles from Cape Race. Aheavy
sea rolling in drove her quarter on the
rocks, carrying away her Tudder, stern
post and propeller. Finding that there
was no possibility of the ship coming of,
the order was given to let 60 both anchors,
TO hold the ship on the rocks.
The carpenter was forthwith sent 70 ex-
anime the fore peak and found it filling fast
with water. He also examined The fore-hold
but he found no water there. The Chief
Engineer coming up directly afterWard, re-
ported the forward stoke-hole filling fast
He opened the valves and blew the steam

rocks these could not be got out. Boat No.
., with some of the crew and passengers,
commanded by Capt. Crawford, was sent
to find place to land the passengers.
Some Of the crew being landed on the
rocks by means Of the studding- sail boom,

sci from listing out We then commenced
TO land the female passengers on the rocks
by means Of the foreysrd arm. The first
class passengers were put into boat. At
about noon, the ship stern swung off from
the rocks, and she settled down very fast,
listing to port at the same time, and sunk
in deep water. The captain and great
many passengers were on deck at the time
and, with a part of the crew, are all lost." /"
The AnglO-saxon, says the New York
Herald, belonged TO the line of The Mon
treal Steamship Company, and ran alter
nately with seven fine eOnsOrt steamers in
their service from Liverpool and London
derry 10 Portland, Maine and Quebec, the
ships making harbor at Portland during
the winter, and at Montreal, after touch
ing near Quebec, in the summer months.
These steamers sailed very regularly from
Londonderry, Ireland, after taking in mails
and passengers on the day next after that
on which they took their departure from
Liverpool. Each vessel Of the line carried
the Canadian and United States mails, and
all had the reputation of being ably COM
manded and well found and disciplined
This makes the sixth vessel Of the Mon
treal Companys line which has been lost
since the year 1851, and the twentieth
ocean steamer which has seen wrecked
since the commencement Of steam commu.
