| The Corona an Australian clipper. was lyins
| at anchor within three hundred yards of the
| Northdeet when the disaster occurred. hut
| neither the terrible shock Of the collision, the
subsequent cries for aid. nor the rockets contin-
| uay hred from the deck of the sinking ship
| could rouse the who was the only watch ou
deck to call up either his comrades or the ofcers
| of his ship. Capt. Bates, the commander OF the
Corona, assured the chief ofiicer of the Coast
| Guard on Thursday that had the man reused
| either himself, or any Of his oficers, he thor
ouchly believed all the passengers and crew oi
the North1eet might have been saved.
| WHAT THE COAST GUARD SAY.
The chief oficer reports that wednesday
! night was starless and very dark and shower,
about half past 10 O'Clock. lie says he was or
the lookout and saw the rockets fred from tn,
Northfeld, but was uncertain whether OF not
they were signals for a pilot He went into
his cottage for a telescope, and before he could
get his glasses bright and return to the beach
the rockets had ceased, and he neither saw moi
heard anything more until daylight, when tn,
spars and topmast OF the Northheld showct
themselves well above the water. Later in ths
day he went IN his boat and boarded the Corona
when Capt. Bates narrated to him the mserabl,
story.
