and calmly, uutil- the waters covered them.
This girl speaks highly Of Mr. Belden's kind
hearted and unselfsh conduct, and 1t will be
some slight alleviation to the misery Of his
broken hearted mother to know that her son
died maufully, trying to aid bis fellow pas
sengers.
soRHEs IN FRONT OF DEATH.
It 10 stated that Mrs. General Wright was
put in the boat saved, but afterwards, for
some reason, removed on deck again, with
the hope, perhaps, that she might be placed
in larger boat.
Some of the most heart. rending scenes oc-
Cured when the first boat was being lowered:
The women were put in frst, and one woman
clung to her husband sobbing and crying un-
til forced from him. The husband vainly
strove to seize her dress as she went down,
and it was with the greatest difficulty that
they could be parted. 5g8
From all the different accounts, 1t appears
that everything was done by the Captain and
officers which could be done, and there does
not appear to have been any of that wild
disorganization and recklessness which SO
often occurs at scenes like this, and makes
men blush for their kind.
The most striking feature throughout seems
to have been the extreme reluctance on the
part Of the passengers TO go into the boats.
They had literally to be thrown in.
| 1t is estimated that twenty or twenty-five
persons perished in each OF the'small boats
This number, added 10 the nineteen saved
accounts for say seventy persons, leaving
about one hundred and thirty who must have
gone down with the steamer.

A woMAN's STATEMENT.

Her statement is interesting, as. notwlth-
standing the sudden and alarming nature Of
the accident, she seems to have preserved her
senses and powers of observation throughout.
She was on the hurricane deck when the ves-
sci struck, having just come from the lunch
table, at which very fewof the ladies were
present, on account of the roughness Of the
weather. The Captain endeavored to get a
number of women into one of the boats, and
she was going into one Of them, when some
body caught her by the arm, and she was
dragged away. Mrs. Scott then took her lit
tie boy, bright-eyed lad of four Or.five Years
of age, with her shawl tied him to her body,
leaving her arms free, and refusing lifepre-
server, jumped into the boat as it was lowered,
bruising herself very badly. From the boat
she saw the passengers all move aft, as the
ship began TO settle, and could scarcely retain
herself us she saw her deliberately sink, with
every soul on board. 1t was almost miracu-
lous how even this boat was saved, on ac-
count of the fearful sea running at the time,
being kept aaoat by bailing with an old bucket
and the hats of some of the men. The women
were all chilled through, as they had scarcely
any clothing on Of the time. She states that
q few minutes before the steamer struck, some
one said to the Captain that they would have
q pretty rongh time. He smiled, and said, II
guess it will be all right" but the expression
of his face changed a minute or two after
wards. She states that one of the boats low
cred contained women, all Of whom disappear
ed instantaneously, with the exception Of Mrs.
keenan,, the person to whom she was engaged,
who succeeded in getting on the bottom of it.
She lad nothing on but her night-dress, and
clupg desperately to the boat as it heaved to
aud fro, until the ship, listing, struck her on
the head, when, throwing up her hands Wild
ly, she sank. 1t is stated that she had seven
thousand dollars worth of diamonds with her.
Mrs. Scott also saw the other boat There
was only one young man on it, and he was
soon washed off and perished. III

SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD.

A correspondent of The s. f. Cal accom-
panied the steamer Del Norte. in the search
for the wreck OF the Brother Jonathan. From
his report We take the following:
PATrERsoN's STATEMENT OF THs wREcK.
Every one being anxious to hear the story
End incidents of the wreck, Mr.. Haitshorne
at once sent for third officer Patterson and
the remainder of the crew who were saved
with him. His statement is substantially
this: When the Brother Jonathan passed
Crescent City, about one P. NJ, the sea was
running very high, ana a severe gale blowing
from the northwest, so much 90 that the
steamer was making no headway whatever,
and Captain De Volt decided TO put back to
Crescent City and remain until the weather
moderated. The jib was set up with the in-
tention of bringing her round, and when they
had almost succeeded in doing so, her bow
struck on q sunken rock with a crash that
sent everything reeling on deck. few min
utes previous TO this, Patterson had been re-
lieved by the second officer, and had gone be-
low, reaching his bunk just as she struck.
He Immediately tried to get on deck, but the
door of his ca0in had been so much sprung
by the shock that it was with difficulty be
could open it. just as he reached the deck,
the vessel lifted from the rock and came down
with a terrific force, tearing tremendous
hole in the hull just where the foremast
rested on the keel. The foremast then
dropped right through the bottom of the ves-
sci until the foreyard lay across the deck. In
the meantime the Captain and FIST officer
were busy making efforts to lower boats.
But no boat could live in such a sea, and the
terrified passengers preferred remaining on
she ships deck TO facing death in small
boat The boat that be (Patterson) was
placed in charge of was ordered TO be le'
down by the FIRST mate. The names OF those
saved have already been pablished--in all
eleven men aud four white women, two
children, and a China woman and child. The
seamen saved, aud mentioned in the dispatct
as negroes, were Portuguese, among the crew
of The whalers recently burned by the She
narHoah, and this was, their first trip on thi
Brother Jonathan. They are powerful, clean
limbed fellows, and are highly commended
for their GOODNESS and bravery on this coca
Rion. With incredible difficulty they sue
eeeded in pushing off from the steamer, ant
had not left ber over ten or fifteen minute
when she fred two guns.

We wish the .Asgus to understand that we
do not rain under any such Vigorous DRILL In
deed, that paper well kno- IS, we do not. In
1889, when buchanan, Cobb, Floyd and
Jake Thompson were using all the influence
at command of the Executive and his Cabinet,
to force constitution upon the people Of
Kansas in opposition to their win, that paper
was found supporting them in their iniquity
and donouncing all who opposed the gross vi
olation of right. 1t was our fortune then, a.
a Democrat, toibe arrayed against the Argus
sandto denonnee the act of oppression in terms
BETTING such a. gross violation of the first
principles of genuine democracy. But the
argus sustained tit--sustained every act oil
wickedness perpetratsd by its party against
Kansas, and simply because It's ruling passion
is to roll in the dirt for the pleasure and
amusement of those upon whose favor 1T sub
sists. q
If as Democrat we opposed an invasion of
popular rights in the case Of Kansas, and pro-
tested against all attempts to force upon her
people'a fundamental law not in, accordance
with their majority will, we. shall, as Union
Republican, do the same thing whenever and
wherever we see an invasion of the same sa-
cred right, and it matters not to us by whom
that invasion is attempted, whether by CON
yention created by military poverty Congress,
as in the case of Kansas, by members of the
Cabinet, by the President of the United
y States, or by the reptile whose slime oozes
daily through the columns of copperhead pa-
per. So ourneishbor may as wen understand
the matter, and learn oncefor all; that we con-
tend for principles, not pei, and that neither
fear nor favor viii lead us to desert the cause
of popular rights, or to apologize for usurpa-
ton. 80
