GLASGOW, lPM
On all hands Il Is admitted that ns the boats put or
from the vessel near 10 the main land. and as Lon
donuerry rs only tiftyive mites distant from Inlis-
trahull ROCK, something should have been heard
before tAis time II the boats are safe. An the eva
dcnce however, rs yet at hand leads 10 quite an op
posite conclusion and we are very rcluct antiy
forced TO admit that there Is now very lutte chance
OF any Of the passengers or crew ol the ialea
sci, with the Isolated exception oi McGarthiand,
being alive at the present time.
All hopes centre IN the possibility OF the survivors
being found at some part 0 the adjacent irish coast
or In the neignhorhood OF Islay or kiuiyre. For
though the man McGarthland is ready TO aiflrm that
he alone survives TO tell The story oI the wreck u IS
evident ron MS own narrative that mis- recoliectons
OF the disaster are OF the most ndisliuct KIND Inc
boat IN which he embarked was quickly capslZed,
and when he rose half stunned Dy The waves he was
envelOped III darkness which hid even the Cambria
from view, and surroundee by the noise Of the tenn
pest great 10 drown the voices o. those whomay
nave been very near The hope tnat there are other
survivors Is strengthened by one fact In the hrst
reports received or the disaster IL was stated that
Captain Gillespie, OF the steamship Enterprise, who
picked up Mcuarthland had put his ship aoout. with
the view OF searching for the other boats The cap
tain himself declares that he did not put his ship
about. but contentcd himself vita cursory OF
boat. Other boats may. therefore. have reached
the shore. Az the gale was fron the northwest
they would naturally DO drii,cd toward the
Scottish coast, aud there me hAenhood
that they would be heard of seen by some OF
the West Highland steamers due IN the Clyde on
Friday. The reports of The captains were, therefore.
awaited with some interest, but all unhappy proved
disappointing. No indication oi The wreck was seen
by any OF the steamers nor we're boats ike those be-
longing TO the Cambria SIGHTED any ywhere. IL must
however, be borne IN ulnd that these steamers mad
left the track which the boats would pursue at
tlme when they could only have reached the ncgli
bornood OF the Scottish coast II blown straight from
lnnstrahul aud IL Is not at all unreasonable to sup
pose that at FIRST thes were drilteu more into the
open sea- Or, again. II we consider that
the three missing boats followed III the wake
OF tue one which mas been picked up. then the
chances are tat the SURVIVORS have landed al some
part Of the irish coast IN that direction Beyond
and above all when weighing the chances OF the
safety oil other passengers ana OF the unforlu-
nate Cambria, IL must not be forgotten that the boat
which carried McGarthland To safety was the smallest
ana least seaworthy OF the Iour; and the latest
statements OF the one rescued survivor are to the
effect that the three boats had not only been llicd
but had put on from the Cambria before she sunk,
proving that Captain Cdrnahln had mad llne 10
organize every means at his disposal for the safety
ol those under his charge
The North Bitttsh Nat SAYS that the body found
Ia tue boat was that OF young woman, aged nine
teen. Sne hud black curing hair and OF me-
dium size, beng dressed tas already stated IN black
