kain, f.n., Al, are gone; Tom was first to die:
NV Wi III MS hands, closed his glazed eye,
We va Ina many tear o'.r his grave did shed,

IA the others too. they all are dead,
nr a. tbe turbid Gila perished Ned;
p,sye. noble Earnest, he was lost
Amid Montanas ice and frost;

Ana we are left, the last OF all,
And md as to night the cold SHOWS fall,

And the mountains of earth seem dwindling

And the hills Of Eden, with golden crown.

will our claims above bear a fire assay
From the Stag OF arth and the baser stains
Will deaths crucible show of precious grains
Enough to give us n standing above
In the mansions OF Peace, in the cradle OF Lovei
And thus do we dream while the tempests beat
While fall on our easement the ice and sleet,
And the fierce winds moan as they sweep the
heights
OF these desolate hills through these desolats
nights;
So changed in life since the bright days wher
We lived with Tom. Ned. Earnest and Ben.

A STORY OF THE LOST ATLANTIC,

James Bateman, a good-looking young
Euglishman of 26, from / ondon, was
with the emigrants, and desires to make
statement concerning the death of his
wife on the ship. He was the only pas
senger who was able to bring his wite on
deck, all of the others being drowned be-
low stairs. His statement is as follows:
/" On the first of April, A. NJ, was
awakened, with my wife by hearing the
ship strike; l heard them say it was only
the noise of the anchor, and that we were
in port Halifax. / and my wife ran up
STAIRS, nearly naked, to the door, but the
sailors were guarding it, and said they
had orders to keep all below. | burst
open the door against the men, and my
wife and fell upon the deck. At this
minute, they We're firing the last rocket,
aud Mr.. Ryan, a passenger, was trying
to launch a boat. i got into the boat
with my wife, when the sailors came and
said they would split our heads open if
We did not get out l naturally preferred
to stand my chances on the deck rather
than be killed in the boat, so we obeyed
them and got into the rigging. My wife
and | held on to the rigging, and Just as
We got hold fast the ship keeled over,
aud We were suspended in the air by our
hands. My wife was % years of age, a
strong woman, and l pushed her into the
rigging again. Then the sea swept over
us several times. j was dressed ia moth
ing but shirt and coat, and my wife had
only chemise and flannel petticoat, so
we suffered greatly from cold. My wife
was FREEING nine hours in the rigging be-
fore she died. The last man saved was the
first mate, and think they could have
saved my wife at that time. Her last
words were to an officer. please give
me something, if only handkerchief, to
save me from freezing" but the officer,
though warmly clad himself, refused to
aid her."
" A Halifax paper gives the statement
OF First Officer Firth, to the effect tina,
he staid by my wife until she perished
This is false. He did nothing for her. |
think he is the biggest coward God evel
made" "a number of other passenger
corroborated this. ~ tried as a last of.
tort to save my wife to cross the deck
from the mizzen rigging to the fore par
OF the ship, and dozens who made the
attempt were washed overheard l was
successful. asked Capt. Williams tc
try, and save my wife. He replied
- Fetch your wife, il you want her saved;
but that was impossible, as l could no
cross the deck again. A lot of sailors
cried, - save the woman" but non
dared try. 1t was too late. When
last saw my wife she was frothing at tn
month and nearly dead. We were boun
for Boston. l am a bricklayer by trade
and have no friends in the city. III Bos
