The schooner Water Fall of Southport
Maine, Captain Daniel Cameron, which ar
rived at Boston on Monday, loaded with iron
and lying at Fisk's wharf, was run into
Wednesday forenoon by the steamer Tri-
mountain ofthe Winnisimmet Ferry Company
and sunk in five minutes after, hardly giving
the crew time to scramble up on the wharf.
The Water Fall was loaded with IS tons of
pig iron to Z. P. Cutler & Co., and $4,000
pounds Of iron pipe to the Boston Lead Com
pany. Captain Cameron regards the vessel
as total loss, as the steamer stru OK her just
abaft the mainmast, smashing in her side and
driving her against the wharf with such force
as to smash four of the piles which brace the
end of the wharf, and opening her seams on
the side next to the pier. At half-low tide
she lays about four feet under the water,
leaving nothing but her masts to be seen.
The schooner was Of "a tons new measure
ment. Captain Cameron and his brother-in
law of Southport, Maine, were three. fourths
owners. She is comparatively new vessel
and valued at$7000, exclusive of the captains
nautical instruments and personal effects, and
was uninsured. The crew lose everything
except what was on their backs. At the time
of the collision the crew and gang of men
on the wharf were just about to begin I'M
loading, and seeing the steamer approaching
shouted to it, but such was the speed at
which she was going that nothing could be
done till after she struck. The men on the
wharf think the collision was due to utter
oa roll

A Newfoundland correspondent writes.
Up to this date the weather here has been
unusually mild. But old Eolus has at last
flung open the gates Of his cave, and terri
BILE storm has swept over the island. Few
people in New York have a true idea Of what
winter means in Newfoundland. Imagine
the fences in the suburbs wholly covered and
the streets of the towns buried in fathom of
snow. and banks Of drift to the height of TWEEN
ty feet in many quarters, and you will have a
rough description of q wintry day in this iso-
lated region. After the first fall of snow all
vehicles except sleighs and "catamarans" are
dispensed with. The merry jingle of the
sleigh bell is heard in every direction, and it
is the only sign Of life during the monoto-
nous winter days in Newfoundland.
Long before the break Of day the poor fsh-
erman is astir and gathering his dogs to start
for the country to procure fuel. The dogs
are harnessed to sleds known here as ''cata-
marans" on account Of their resemblance to
the RATS Of that name used by the South Sea
Islanders. In the intense morning frost these
hardy toilers follow their dogs for eight, ten
and sometimes fifteen miles to procure a load
of wood. Often it has occurred that the mas
ter and the willing brutes are overtaken by q
terrific snow storm, and losing their path die
of cold and hunger.
