the yards being braced sharp up, the ship at
the time being on the port tack, it did not
come down. Orders were promptly given to
let 90 the lec-braccs, and man the topsall
down-hauls. But by this time the ship had
been again struck by heavy sea, and she
was completely on her beam with
water pouring down the tunnel and she then
turned bottom upward, and gradually sunk,
stern first. From the time the ship was first
struck to her going down, only from five to
ten minutes elapsed. The number on board
at the time was about $50.
When the Captain vas first lost sight of it
was thought that she had missed the heet,
which is not an uncommon occurrence on
dark night and when it is blowing hard, and
no one imagined she had gone down. But
alas the sad fact soon bacane apparent when
first was picked up boat, then spar, ana
subsequently one of the men, who had lashed
himself to the grating, but did not succeed IN
saving his life.
On the morning of Thursday last, the
Monarch, a turret-ship, Captain John Il.
Commerel, which had been searching around
the coast, b, fought intelligence to the flagship
that one warrant officer and seventeen men
had landed from the Captain. The Monarch
went back and picked them up of Cape
Finisterre, and they were transferred to the
Voltage.
James May, gunner, says that he was awak-
ened about II O'Clock at night on the 9th by
some marines making a noise outside his cabin,
and finding the ship more than unusually I'M
steady he dressed himself to go on deck and
see if the guns were all right in the turrets.
When he got up into the turret, the ship gave
a heavy roll to starboard, and continued in
that position, gradually heaving over more
and more until he found water coming into
the port hole on the top of the tunnel, through
which he crawled and then found himself
overheard. He, however, succeeded with five
others, including Capt Burgoyne. in reach
ing the steam pinnace, which was floating
bottom uppermost, and observing the launch
passing within few yards of them he cried
out Now jump, men, this is your only
chance!" He and three others did so and sue
ceeded in getting into the boat. They in vain
cndeavored to regain the pinnace to save the
captain, but the sea was running so high that
it prevented them from fulfilling the task, and
in the attempt they were struck by heavy
sea, nearly swapping the boat, and wash
ing one man, George Meyers, overheard.
They then determined to let the boat run be-
fore the sea, as land was known to be leeward
of them. About two o'clock they sighted
light on Cape Finisterre, and afterwards OBJ
served land. They made for it, and succeed
ed in landing about noon of the 9TH at Finis
terre.

Jordan. Jordan, however, has little influence
in govern. nent circles in Washington, the
Secre. AIRY of the Treasury and the Solicitor
OF the Treasury being opposed to compound
ing felony in the manner desired by Mr..
Wood. the robber Adams and his unscrupu-
Ions friends Yet, notwithstanding the oppo-
sitlon of the Treasury officials, 1t Is quite
possible that Adams may escape the conse-
ouepces of his villanous transactions. His
discharge is sought by ex-Chief Wood on
novel grounds. When, in 1867, large num-
Der OF seven-thirty bonds were stolen from
the Treasury Department. Wood captured a
plate which he said must have been the one
from which the seven thirties had been print
ed; but the plate was so badly battered that
no trace of the engraver could be found.
The discovery of the plate led the authorities
of the Treasury Department to declare spu-
rious the sevcn-thirties which had been sto-
len. But it is said that those found cores
pended in the numbers and ssries with the
issue recorded on the books of the Depart
mcnt. reward of $4,000 was offered for
the discovery of the counterfeit plate but
it is not known whether it was paid. Mean
time number of bankers of this city who
had received the seven-thirties, and who
knew them to be genuine, began suits IN the
United States Court against the government
to recover SIU,UJU the amount Oh theiI az
gregate loss, and the cases are yet to be
tried Ex-Chief Wood now says that the no.
torious burglar Charley Adams, alias Lang
don Moore, can swear that the plate was the
one from which the seventhirtics were
''struck :" that the bonds were spurious, and
that lie can save the government the amount
for which it is sued if he is brought from the
Maine State Prison and pardoned for his late
crimes.
There are facts in this case which deserve
mention and call for official inquiry. When
Adams friends failed in their application to
the Secretary of the Treasury and the Solic-
itor of the Treasury application was made 10
District Attorney Davis. Whatever in
fuences were brought to bear in that direc-
ton, certain it is that Mr. Davis wrote to the
authorities of the State of Maine to postpone
the trial of Adams in order that he might be
a witness for the government in the case OF
the $4,000 suit. Should Mr.. Davis be sue
cessful in obtaining Adams release from the
State Prison of Maine the rescue of that no.
torious robber from his merited fate would be
an easy matter. That such is the intention
of the District Attorney, who, of course, I'M
derstands his position, and of the friends OF
the notorious robber Adams, the boastful
declarations of ex- Chief of United States De-
teetives are n sufficient guarantee. few
days will decide whether the United States
authorities will consent to compound felony
for $40, 900 without the chance of bringing
any of the parties to the several robberies of
Adams to Justice, or whether the administra-
ton of justice in the federal departments is
not corrupt.

THE IRON CLAD CAPTAIN.

From the statements of the survivors of the
English iron-clad Captain, it appears that at
about midnight on the 9th instant, the ship
was in company with the Channel fleet, about
forty miles off Cape Finisterre, cruising
under double reefed fore and main topsails
and fore-topmast staysails, and mainsail and
foresail hauled up, there being at the time a
very strong breeze and heavy sea.
The stalboard watch had been called at IL
o'clock and were mastering when the squall
struck the ship on the port side, causing her
TO give heavy lurch to the starboard. As
she did not right herself, Captain Burgoyne,
who was on the bridge, gave the order to
lower the fore-top sail, but in consequence of

A ATTEMPT TO GET CLEAR 4 LIME
ROCK BANK ROBBER.

The New York Herald gives the following
account of an attempt to get clear one of the
Lime Rock Bank robbers. 1t has not been
successful, however, as the trial of the cul-
prit has commenced or is about to commence.
The authorities of the State of Maine, as
well as the officers of the United States con-
scientiously engaged in bringing violaters of
the Law to punishment are considerably exer-
cised over the now well known fact that Dis
trict Attorney Davis is actively engaged in
endeaYoring to procure the release from Jail
where he is at present confined on the
charge of bank robbery--ot "Charley
Adams" alias John A. Stevens, alias Lang
dol The robbery perpetrated by Adams
and his gang upon the Lime Rock Bank of
Rockland is of too recent date to require
any rehearsal. The robbery was shrewdly
planned and boldly executed. large
amount of money and bonds were taken, for
which Adams and several of his fellows in
crime were arrested, since which time they
have been confined in Jail at Belfast, Me-,
awaiting their trial.
Among the most prominent of his many
will inous transactions may be mentioned the
daring and successful robbery of the Concord
Bank. at Concord Mass. the Armenia Bank,
in Duchess county. d. y; the Wolfboro
Bank, at Wolfboro. n. H. aud host of other
like nefarious derredatons. But justice
seems to have at last oyertaken him, and the
raward of his long career OF crime is about TO
be meted out TO him. There are those, how
ever. who have undertaken 10 procure his
release through the instrumentality Of the
yoyernment. and are actively engaged in at
tempting TO gain the ear and obtain the aid Of
the tinted States Treasury officials to effect
their object. The man so assiduously labor
ing on behalf Of Adams is William ]. Wood,
