HALIFAX. April al. W. Firth chief officer Of the
Atlantic in reply to the reporters questions made
statement in substance as follows:
My watch ended at y O'Clock on Monday night.
The second and fourth officers took charge, and /
went to my berth. ! was aroused by the shock Of
the vessel sinking. The second officer came down
to my room, and said the ship was ashore and be

to clear the boats. The ship had caTeened over

staTboard boats just then a heavy sea
swept the boats away. l was holding
fast to the mizzenmast rigging, and now climbed
higher for safety. The night was 20 dark and the
spray blew so thickly that we could not see well
what was going on around l saw men on the
rocks but did not know how they got there. All
who were alive Oh board were in the rigging When
daylight came l counted 50 persons IN the miZzen-
mast rigging with me, including one woman When
these saw that there were lines between the ship
and the shore. many Of them attempted 70 90 for
ward 70 the lines, and in doing 80 were washed
overheard and drowned. Many reached the shore
by the aid of the lines, and the fshermens boats
rescued many more. AT last all had either been
washed of or rescued except myself the woman, and
boy The sea had become so rough that the boats
could not venture near us. soon the boy washed
of. but be swan calamity and reached one of the
boats in safety. got a firm hold Of the woman and
secured her in the rigging IcOuld see the people on
shore and in the boats, and could hail them but
they were unable TO help Us
At o'clock in the afternoon, after we had been II

Church Of England clergyman, whose noble conduct
I can never forget while live. got crew Of four
men 10 row him out 70 the wreck. He got into the

jumped clear. sea swept me off the wreck, but
Mr. Ancient held fast TO the line pulled me back
and got me safely in the boat was then so ex-
hausted and benumbed that was hardly able 10 do
anything for myself and but for the clergyman's
gallant conduct I must have persisted soon. The
woman. after bearing up with remarkable strength
under her great trials, had died two hours before MI
Ancient arrived. Her half-nude body was still fast
II the rigging. her eyes protrudlng, her mouth
foaming-a terribly CHASTITY spectacle rendered more
ghastlv by the contrast with the numerous jewels
which STARTLED on her bands. We had 70 leave her
body there and il is probably there vet The scene
at the wreck was an awful one such as had never
before witnessed and hope never 70 witness again.
Comparatively few bodies drifted ashore most of
them, with such articles as came out OF the ship

Latest details Of the wreck OF the steamship

tale of horror, except that the loss of life is
not 30 great as at first reported. The main
features of the calamity remain unsoftened;
the suferings Of those exposed 70 the pitiless

and the story Of the survivors is touching in
the extreme. But the most trustworthy ac-
counts reduce the number OF people on board
to nine hundred and sevcnty-six; OF these five
hundred and forty-six were lOst.
We have the narratives OF the captain and
chief officer. from which il appears that none
on board the Inflated ship knew her actual
position any time during the few hours before
she struck. The steamer had passed Halifax !;
she was turned back; struck on her starboard
side; keeled to the port COT larbOard) side,

rapidly, and according to their calculations,
but frequently il does not, and the owners of
the road find that they have to bear the re-
suit of their miscalculation, or make other
people beasit, and il 10 easier to make other
