Further Particulars Of tho Accident to the
Steamship PereIre.
HAvRE, JAM 2S, 1869.
The steamship Pereire Captain Duchesne sailed
from Havre Friday, the 18th inst, for New York,
touching at Brest which port she LEFT the day fol-
lowing, the 10th. She experienced strong head
winds and heavy weather almost from the start.
The storm increased In violence until, when i've
days out from Brest, it became q furious
gale which threatened the destruction Of the
ship. Heavy seas broke over her, carrying
away entlrely her forward deck cabin, the dining
saloon for the second class passengers deluging the
engine room and partially disabling the ship. The
storm caused the vessel to lurch tremendously and
the passengers and crew were thrown from place to
place with great Violence The loss Of life and in
Jury to person on board are attributable to this
cause only.
At length on the 21st instant the Perere shipped
an immense sea, estimated at 1000 tons which COM
pletely flooded the cabin and killed one Of the pas
sengers outright-a Miss Funckelburg, from Ger
many.
The storm coming from the west Captain Du-
chesne doubtful OF his ability to safely ride it out
thought 1t prudent to put the vessel about, which
was done, and she arrived safely at Havre on the
2eth instant.
As before stated three of the crew and three of
the second class passengers were killed ana many
others injured. The injuries, however, were mainly
slight and all are now dong well. Mr.. Callighan,
Catholic priest, Mr.. Foulquier Frenchman, and
Miss Funckeburg were the only passengers killed.
The latter had her neck broken. None Of the first
class passengers were injured.
The Pereire's passengers VIII 60 forward to New
York in the ST. Laurent next Saturday Before the
arrival Of the Pereire at Havre the passengers
bled in the cab and unanimously passed resolutions
complimenting the commander OF the steamship.
Captain Duchesne, for his courage and seamanship
a. demonstrated not only by the present case, but
many times before, and especially in the collision
OF the vesJa with the Arctic on the American coast
years ago.
