She Encounters Fog and Goes Ashore
the Vessel-Sketch OF Her Career.
HALIFAX, N. s., May 80, 1874.
The following are the particulars respecting the
loss OF Her Majesty's steamer Niobe, ON Cape
Blanc, Island OF MiquelOn:-
The Niobe left Halifax for st. Pierre, in
tending to communicate with the French naval
officer at that place before proceeding on fsnIng
cruise. A thick Jog was experienced the whole pas
reach ST. Pierre Roads. On the 10th inst. she
came to anchor on the west side OF Sandy Neck,
joining the Great and Little MiquelOn Islands;
but finding the anchorage not desirable one,
and from the state OF the weather thinking 1t pos
sible Notwithstanding the iOg, to reach Miquelon
Roads, or even st. Pierre, by rounding the north
end OF the Miquelon Islands, commander Boyle
ordered anchor weighed and steamed northward,
keeping the land In sight and being apparently on
the edge OF the Jog bank, which was denser sea-
ward At about ten minueS past nine A. NJ.
BREAKERS WERE RKPUKTED AHEAD.
The screw was stopped and reversed, but the
ship soon after struck on Cape Blanc, on the north
side Of Miqueion Island, and owing to the heavy
soon became total wreck The boats were im
mediateiy got out and all hands but one VINO as
unfortunately drowned IN landing, were safely
landed by haipast six O'Clock =. M. the same day.
Three men were washed out OF a boat by the sea,
two of whom reached the shore, che other, re-
ierred TO above, being drowned ~
fallen over and had water IN her up TO her lower
