RECEPTION OF THE NEWS.

Late in the evening the report came from the Tel
egraph Office that the Atlantic was lost with q
large number of passengers. The rumor, which
would have stricken terror to the hearts of the pub
c was too surely authenticated. and the wires told
the story briefly. but with sufficient certainty to
give the facts of appalling disaster. The dis.
patch to the agent Of the line came from the third
officer of the ship, who was among the rescued
passengers taken to Halifax by the Cunard mail
steamer. His story of the disaster was simply that
the ship had run lahore of MeagheTs Head which
is about 20 miles from Halifax, TO which port the
steamer was heading being short of coal. There
were many women and children among the passen-
gers most Of whom are reported lost.
As the news spread TO the hotels there was great
excitement among the guests, many Of whom had
friends upon the steamer and all details eagerly
songht for as II seemed certain that few Of the
crew or passengers could have been saved by the
steamer giving assistance. and 1t was evident from
the tone of the dispatch that the third officer had
become separated from his fellow officers, Of whom
no tidIngs were given.
Early in the evening u rumor was circulated To
the effect that the Atlantic had been telegraphed of
Sandy Hook. At o'clock. 4 man who had friends
Oh board tho Inflated vessel called At the wharf In

THE FIRST STARTLING REPORT.

THE GREAT DISASTER BRIEFLY sKETcHED-sHoRT
OF COAI-AsHoRE on THE RoCKs-GREAT sACRI-
FICE OF HUMAN LIFE
HALIFAX, n. S.. April 1. This city was
thrilled to-day, on learning that the steamship
Atlantic of the White Star line had been
totally wrecked, off Cape Prospect, this morn
ing with 1000 men, women, and children on
board. The Atlantic was from Liverpool
for New-Ymk, March 90; running short
of coal, she made for Halifax !;
when about twenty miles from this
port, off Cape Prospect, at 2;30 a. M, she ran
ashore on Meagher's Head. OF the 1000 or
more people on board, only $50 succeeded in
reaching the shore. The remainder, including
al the women and children, were swallowed
up in the roaring sea or went down in the
ship The Captain and Second and Third Of
fcers were saved. The First Officer was
drowned.
The receipt Of the news caused the most in
tense and painful sensation. The agents of
the Cunard Company at once sent steamer to
the scene of the disaster, government steamer
accompanying her. Their assistance can be of
no avail, as the Third Officer, who arrived here
at 80 this afternoon, says the ship and cargo
are n total loss

SOME Of THE PASSENGERS.

Inasmuch as the lists Of passengers are in the
English Offices it will be impossible for many days
to ascertain the names of the lost. AS the steamer
was favorite with the New-York public, 1T
is probable that many of the passengers were
Fastening to their homes in this city when
the steamer met her doom. Many of the passengers
doubtless had advised their friends on this side of
their intention to sail with the steamer and 80 the
announcement of the disaster will fill many house
holds with grief and terrible apprehension this
morning Among others who are known to have
taken passage on the steamer are the following:

THE SCENE OF THE WRECK.

The scene of the wreck was on Meagher's
Rock or Head, the extreme point Of Prospect Cape.
According TO the official charts the Head IL laid down
lying in latitude 40 30 16 NJ longitude GO ~ ~ W.
1t rocky peninsular cape, 10 feet high, and forms
the western limit OF Pennant Bay the entrance which
three miles wide and about two miles deep This little
bay is very much encountered with rocky shoals and r
regularly islands, but IL frequently affords
shelter TO ooasting vessels, whose masters are
thoroughly acquainted with the passage between them
The land at the head OF the bay IL moderately high
the highest point called Hospital H rising fully $50
feet above the level OF the sea.
Cape Prospect sometimes COMPOUNDED with Meaghers
Head The Cape forms the side OF Bristol Bay and
lies three four miles south OF Prospect Harbo
The harbor itself like all OF the little bays along this
portion Of tho coast is encountered at IL entrance by
cluster OF small islands At the back OF these lies
siderable inlet called Parker's River.
Prospect Harbor Is well known 10 navlgators ac
quainted with this very dangerous port IL
its entrance, light of Mars Head very rugged
and broken appearance.
Whenever rough weather occurs the reefs, though
submerged, are very dangerous, and must have been
doubly so in such heavy gale as that encountered by
the Atlantic.
Right of Cape Prospect, the Head, lies huge rock
commonly II feet under water It's position due south
Of the Head. and nearly onethird OF mile from the
shore. IL il believed that 1t this rock that caused
the wreck Of the Atlantic.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1873-04-02

The Atlantic sailed on her first voyage to this port
from Liverpool, on the 10th of June 1871, and ar
rived here on the Goth, having made the run in 10
DAYS and q few hours. She had been preceded by
the Oceanic-a magnificent vessel with which she
corresponded in size, design, and adornment She
was 3T07 tons burden British measurement and her
dimensions were follows: Length, 40 feet BEAM
Al feet depth of hold SO feet. She had four masts
six water-tight bulkheads and was fitted with steam
steering gear Of improved description. This gear
obyiated the labor Of tugging at the wheel in
stormy weather; man standing on the bridge
could move lever which child could control, and
by regulating the movement according to the
points on dial before him he conld direct the
sci TO the right OF left or maintain steady course
An index moved across this dial, which would at
once indicate if the helm was in the right direc-
ton or IL the gear was out of order IL is possible
that this apparatus was brought into action during
the disaster which resulted in the destruction of the
Atlantic. It's use anyhow implies that the Com
papy ayaied itself of the latest invention for direct
ing and controlling the course of its steamship.
The Atlantic was fitted with IL boilers and
cylinders on the compound princple-an improve
ment in machinery applied only within the
last two years TO transatlantic vessels
The ordinary compound engine consists OF
two cylinders, one high pressure, and the
engines had four cylinders, by means Of which great
economy was effected in fuel, the average daily con-
sumption being only As tons of coal. The engines
were registered at 5000 horsepower and were war
ranted to stand pressure of 70 pounds to the square
inch.
The Atlantic was fitted for general trade. and was
capable of accommodating 1900 passengers. Her
main saloon extending the whole length of the
vessel with it's gilded cornices, brilliant mountngs
bronzed statues and marble chimney pieces, carved
furniture and dark red cushions, equaled
if not surpassed in its general ap
pearance and newness any other vessel in
the transatlantic service. 1t fitted with electric
bells which were also placed in the berths of all the
saloon passengers. The berths luxuriously fur
nished and contained the latest improvements de-
vised for the comfort of sea voyagers. The emf
grants quarters were spacious well ventilated, and
fitted in comfortable and substantial manner.
Capt. Digby Murray, previously of the Oceanic
commanded the Atlantic on her first voyage, but
after some time Capt. James Agnew Williams was
placed in command OF her.
The Atlantic was built by Harland g. Wolf Of
Belfast and was one Of the few iron steamships
which indicate the revival of shpbuilding in Ire
land.
