Terrible Shipwreck ---Near 200
Lives LOst--uA An Awful Scenelidu
pUBLIsHER AND PROPRIETOR.


Some days since, by q forci gn arrival we
had the brief announcement that q fine
cmigrant ship, the London, bound from
London to Mqlbotrne, Australia, had foun-
dered at sea, Later Information has since
been obtained. Tho survivors Numbered
only hineteen-siSteen sailors and three
passengers. The Western MAI gives the
following account Of tho closing scene:
Ii was 10 o'clock on the morning of that
fital Thursday That Capt Martin had the
terrible task Of making known to the 300
passengers that the ship was sinking, and
that they must prepare for the worst She
was then MS low In the water rs the main
chains. The whole Of the passengers aud,
crew gathered as with one consent, In the
chief saloon, and having been calmly told
by Capt Martin that there was no hope
LETT a remarkable and unanimous spirit of
resignation came over them ut once, There
was no screaming or shrleking by women
or men. no rushing on deck or frantic cries.
All calmly rcsorted to the saloon, where
Rev. Mr.. Draper, one Of the passengers,
prayed aloud, and eXhorted the unhappy
creatures by whom be was surruundcd,ne .
Dismay was present to every heart. but
disorder TO none. Mothers were weeping
sadly over the little ones about TO be en-
\ quilted. and the children. Ignorant OF their
coming death. were pitifully inquiring the
cause Of so much woe. Friends were taking
leave of friends, a. If preparing for o long
\ journey; others were c,puched down with
| Bibles in their hands endeavoring to Snatch
consolation from passages long known or
long neglected. Incredible. We are told,
was the composufe which, under such cir
cumstanccs. reigned around. Capt. Martin
stationed, hlniselfin. the poop, going occa-
sionally forward or into the saloon I; but to
none could he offer y word of comfort by
tslliug them that their safety was even
| probable. He joined now and then for n
few naments In the public devotions, but
4 his place TO the last was on the deck, s,'s
About TWO o'clock in the afternoon. the
water gaining fast on The ship, and no signs
4 of the storm subsiding being apparent a
4 small band Of men determined to, trust
/ themselves to the mercy of the waves in n
boat, rather thaa so down without a strug-
4 gle. Leaving the saloon, therefore, they got
out and lowered away the port cutter, into
which sixteen of the crew and three Of the
passengers succeeded In getting and In
launching her clear of the ship. These
nineteen men shouted for the Captain to
come with them. but with that heroic cour-
age which was his chief characteristic, he
declined TO go with them, saying mo. |
will go down with the passengers but l
wish you God speed and safe 20 land,n The
boat then pulled away, tossing about help
lessly on the crests of the gigantic waves,
Scarcely had they gone eighty yards, or
been five minutes on the deck, when the
steamer went down stern foremost with
her crew of human beings, from whom one
4 con fused cry OF helpless terror, arose, and
all was silent forever. 4r1 r9HW
