DEATH APPEARS LIFE LIKE.

Faces were discolored and blotched red, green-yea, all manner of hideous colors and, again, there were those fair and rosy as in life. Gazing upon some of these forms one would have sworn they slept, and so strong was the illu- sion that in stepping by them the step was light, for fear of waking those who never will wake until the sound of the "last trump"
 In this awful array of bodies two faces horror one, that of a man, whose out stretched arms lent additional force to the wild expression of the widely dis tended eyes. These glared so intensely that their fixed look of despair was a force unequalled by any save that of female body, and then, indeed, was the agony of death met angrily, iercely, fu- riously, depicted with startling vivid ness on rigid lineaments and frm-set features.
 COMPREHENSIVE RAYLANoE's STATEMENT.
 Quartermaster Charles Raylance says: About twenty minutes past three o'clock I hove the log, and the ship at that time was going at the rate of twelve knots an hour. I went into the aft wheel-house and was looking through one of the windows, when fancied l saw breakers on the starboard side. I then ran forward to the lookout man on the bridge, and asked him if he did not think there were breakers on the star board side. He reported to the second officer, who telegraphed to the engine room to reverse the engine full speed astern. We both then jumped off the bridge together on to the deck. Then he gave me orders to call all hands on deck. I ran forward and burst the quartermasters' room open with my foot, and all of them. three in number, got out through the panel of the door. Then and one of them went aft and got out the rockets and fired about eight when the rocket box rolled away from us. The captain gave orders to get the boats clear and save the passen- gers. I and the: captain went to No. 3 boat and were getting her clear when he asked me if the plugs were in her; l told him they were not. As the pas sengers were huddled together in the bottom of the boat, crying, l could not get the plugs in.

The scene at Meagher's Island was very sad. Bodies that had been recov- cred were laid in rows along the sloping ledgef and it required 8 strong nerve to walk among them and not succumb to tears. There were mothers and little children, strong men staring sightless, their eyes protruding and froth issuing from their mouths. Little children were there, bruised and bloody, but with that sweet expression which, strange as it may seem, usually comes of violent deaths.
