NO MORE NEWS
OF the disaster was received yesterday. nor Ia It
likely that there will be until the MORO Castle ar
| rives here in four or i've days time The MORO
Castle has been instructed by telegraph to call IN
ut Nassau on her way from Havana, and bring on
such OF the saved as may be DESTROYS OF returning
to New York. The
STORY OF THR WRECK,
so far as the main facts are concerned, however,
is already plain enough from the dispatches pub
shed in the HERALD OF yesterday and 1t does not
require very vivid imagination to Ill up the pic
ture with the thrilling and heartrending Incidents
with which it must have been marked. The
sudden alarm, the growing terror OF the unhappy
voyagers rs it became clear that there was no
hope OF saving the ship, the lowering and swamp
ing OF the boats and the desparing struggles OF the
drowning unfortunates-we have all read OF such
scenes often enough before to be able to realize
without difficulty the burning and wreck OF the
Missouri aMa
SOhk OF THE bEkEAv6U.
The ofice OF the Atlantic Mail Steamship Com
pany was yesterday visited by a number OF people
interested In the disaster. The wives OF some OF
the drowned seamen were among tho num-
Der, but to their tears and their eager In
quiries about the fate OF their husbands the
clerk could give nothing In reply beyond what
they had already learned from the newspapers
that outside OF the twelve persons known to have
escaped there have been no lives saved, and can
not have been except by good fortune little short
OF miracle. These poor widows listened to the
truth with quiet and camness; their sorrow and
grief were, probably, too real and keen to be ex-
pressed in theatrical scenes or noisy Mysteries.
A NARROW ESCAPE
One gentleman also called In at the ONCE to tell
how fortunate he had been in escaping being vic.
tim OF the disaster. He was a personal friend OF
Captain Green and had been for many years, and
having occasion to 60 to Havana, made all his
arrangements TO go on the last trip OF the Missouri
His trunk was packed, his adieus to his friends
were all formally made, and he had not the faintest
doubt about going, when suddenly within few
hours OF the hour OF sailing, he received news
which compelled his remaining In the city. 1t
a harbreadth escape; but OF course such things
always occur in connection with the voyages Of all
vessels whether they founder in mid ocean or
safely reach port.
THE BOATS.
The oflcials OF the steamship company say that
they have been unustly criticised In regard to the
boats. The Missouri carried six lifeboats, each OF
which would be capable OF accommodating twenty
five persons according to the new law. thirty. II
the requirements Of the old law were still in force
The boats were all in good condition, Of an ap-
proved pattern, and their swapping was probably
Inevitable from the weight OF the waves and the
fury o; the storm. The Missouri carried more than
the required complement OF life buoys and life pre-
servers.
CAPTAIN GREEN
the commander OF che unfortunate vessel. has been
In the employ OF the company for five years, and
was capable and experienced seaman. He was
about ffty-fve years OF age and had followed the
all his life. Strange to say, however, the only
previous disaster which has marked the annals Of
the company occurred to vessel, the Eagle,
while under his command. In that case the wreck
was complete, not single spar being saved, but all
the passengers and crew were preserved
