not see them again. They were drowned. AS day

The mother saw he had lost her child and wanted
to follow it, and he had the greatest difficulty in
preventing her. IL was only by holding tightly
to her that he made her remain. Both
women were getting exhausted as the spar
neared the shore and could not have held on much
longer, when he all at once touched ground. He
says he never had such feeling OF joy in his lie.
He then told the women to keep hold OF the spar
and to wade their way In shore. Sometimes the
violence OF the waves would make them lose their
feet but they kept good hold and at last were res

THE TWO BROTHERS.

Last evening a visit was paid to the house OF
mourning at 142 Clinton street, Brooklyn, where
the corpses Of Mr.. Wierum's two handsome
boys lay. In death they appeared to be repOsing
calmly and the features were not in the slightest
dis1gured after their combat with the stormy
waves OF the pitiless Atlantic. The funeral takes
place tomorrow Monday at noon, from the house,
and their last resting place will be Morristown,
N. j., where they will be buried side by side as
they lived and died. Their father is fairly heart
broken and great sympathy is expressed for the
bereaved family by their neghbOrs and friends,
and in fact by the whole City of Brooklyn. Mr..

THE PILOTS STORY.

The steamer Thetis a freight boat belonging to
the New York and Providence line, arrived in New
York yesterday afternoon. She started for Boston
on the same evening as the Metis, only about an
hour after her, and took substantially the same
course. Though she must have passed within q
very short distance OF the OF the disaster she
knew nothing Of 1t, and the first intimation her
Oficers had OF the loss OF the Metis was In Provl-
dence.
reporter OF the HERALD interviewed Captain
Gale, the Commander Of the Thets, yesterday
afternoon. Personally he knew nothing Of the de.
tails Of the wreck except what he had seen In the
papers. He, however, saw the pilot OF the Metis,
Abram Torrey, in Stonington, on Friday night.
TOrrey had given him some details Of his own
escape and the scene on board when the collision
took place with the unfortunate schooner. Torrey
was steering at the time, and found the vessel so
dark that he says he could not see ten
feet before him. The steamer. was going at
full speed, when all at once he was thrown
or his feetby the shock Of the collision He did not
leave his wheel, but kept the boats head straight
sinking. He could only guess at this but he knew
It as positively as II he had seen. He ran down
a
fusion. Everybody but the ofiicers OF the ship
seemed to have lost his head. All were rushing
cape from the deck, which seemed about
to overwhem them. The boats were
lowered promptly, and the men helped the women
down first into the boats. This took some time,
and he stood at his post till 1t became apparent the
vessel was about to sink for good He then ran
down in his cabin and got two cork mattresses
which were in the berths. He gave one o
these to friend OF his named Palmer and the
other he kept for himself and, with it inf
his grasp, threw himself into the boiling
surf For time he thought IL would be impossible
for him to keep hold, but gradually he grew accus-
toned to the feeling. He had not been on the mat
tress two minutes when the Metis sank out or
sight. He could not see II anybody sank with her.
He remained on the cork mattress from five O'Clock,
when he jumped into the sea- until twelve the next
day, when he was picked up, almost exhausted, by
the cutter MOccasin.

SUPERINTENDENT ODELL'S STATE

HERALD reporter went down to pier 27 yester.
day to Mr.. Odell, Superintendent of the line to
which the Mets belonged Everything on the pier
was going on in Its wOnted manner and goods were
being brought down and loaded and discharged as
II nothing whatever OF any consequence had hap
pcncd. The men were talking more or less Of the
disaster but in an unspeakaby Indifferent tone.
Superintendent Odell sat In the inner ONCE. He
is determined-lO0king man, whom nothing could
apparently affect
He said he was willing to give any information
which the HERALD could desire. or the wreck he
knew nothing he added, but what the HERALD had
given.
REPoRrER-Does the company lose much, Mr..
ODELL-Of course 1t does, but tnat's not what we
care about Just now. It's che lives that are lost
which we are looking at. On our loss is very
great.
REPORrER-I saw the Metis going up that night
and she looked to me ike fine boat.
ODELL-She was o dne boat. There's no mistake
about that Why, she had only just been fitted up
finer boat on the line than the Metis. Oh she's
great loss to the company, there's no mistaking
that"
Mr.. Odell leaned his head in his hand and looked
at his desk thOughtfully.
"Why, my dear SIR" he broke out suddenly, "she
had only made few trips since she had been fixed
up-seven, think, from Boston to Marthas Vine
yard, and one from New York. This was her sec
ond. She's very great loss to the company"
REP0RrKR-You will continue running just the
ODELI-Oh yes. Why not The Metis was only
an extra boat and didn't belong to the regular
ones.
REPoRrER-Do you think the Thetis passed over
the same ground where the Metis sunk
ODELL-No don't. She must have passed fully
ten miles away. Some OF the fellows that are saved
say they saw the Thetis pass but that's not SO. I
guess It must have been the Glaucus they saw:
still muttering, THAT'S a great loss to the COM
