The steamship Atlantic, OF the White Star
line, Captain Williams, from Liverpool
March 20, for New York, running short oi
coal on the '31st, made for Halifax. Wher
about twenty miles from that port, off Cape
Prospect, at $50 o'clock on the morning Of
the LIST, she ran ashore ON Mesgher's Rock
becoming a total wreck. She had on board
over 1000 men, women and children, ol
whom only $50 succeeded in landing. The
remainder, including all the women and
children, were lost. Tie Captain and third
officer were saved. The first officer was
drowned. The following account of the dis

He says: The Atlantic left Liverpool on the
Goth OF March with upward of 900 steerage
passengers and about so cabin passengers
The steamer experienced boisterous weather
during the passage, but all went well until
noon on Monday the 3lst, when the supply
OF coal became nearly exhausted, and the
Captain determined to put into Halifax. The
position was then judged to be Sombro light,
bearing N. N. W., 80 miles. At about mid.
night the Captain went into his chart room,
leaving orders TO be called if there was any
change in the vessels position. Brady went
to bed about the same time as the Captain
The next thing that he remembers is that
he was thrown out of his bunk, and he
heard the ship strike several times. He
then rushed on deck, and found the Captain
and officers there, and the deck full of pas
sengers. He got an oar, and commenced to
clear away a boat. The captain and other
officers we're busy doing the same thing.
Brady got one boat out and put two women
in it. A number of men attempted to get
into 1t, and about dozen succeeded. just
at this moment the steamer fell over on her
beam ends and sank. Only one boat had
been out, and that was carried down by the
steamer, and all on it were lost. Brady
scrambled into the mizzen rigging, which
was above water, and seeing that he could
do nothing there, be then went forward and
removed the halliards, being assisted by
Quartermasters SpeaIman and Owen. Brady
then took the halliards, and all three swan
to the rock, and then line was hauled
ashore and number of passengers landed
by it, A number had got on the rock, but
the tide was rising, and their position was
no better than on the vessel. just then fish
| ermen on the shore came out in boats.
Those on the rock and large number from
the rigging were taken of. Brady remained
at tn e scene till noon, when all who were
alive on board had been taken from the
wreck except the chief officer, Mr.. Firth,
who was in the rigging shouting for help.
Brady says he tried to get a crew to go TO the
rescue of Firth, but the sea was SO heavy that
nobody would volunteer. Altogether about
$50 persons were saved, including Capt.
Williams, the fourth officer, Mr.. Brown, and
several of the engineers and sailors. Not a
single woman or child was saved, most OF
them, as we'll as hundreds of men, being
drowned in their berths. On the first receipt
of the news Of the disaster, a Cunard and
government steamer started from Halifax to
the assistance of the Atlantic, but too late,
it was feared, to do any good, as the vessel
and cargo we're total wreck. ALI the peo-
pie saved from the wreck, with the exception
of Brady, were taken to Prospect, where the
fishermen gave them all the attention they
possibly could.
Tho body of the brotherof Senator FORK,
of Kansas, was found recently in the woods,
two miles west of Usage Mission. He had

thick bushes. This makes seven persons
missing and supposed to have been MUIR
dered between Usage Mission and Indepen-
deRce within the past six months.
Intelligence has been received of the muir
der in cold blood, by Cherokee Indians, of
Mr.. Deming and three other Government
surveyors, one hundred and twenty miles
southwest of Arkansas City. The men had
gone one mile and half from camp, and
their bodies were found by their comrades
buried in the sand. Two Others of the
same party and provision train had not
been heard from for some time, and fears
were entertained for their safety.
