Nh. POLICEMAN, second officer of the Schil.
Ter, and Henry Stern and Mr.. Frahl, first
class passengers, have been interviewed
From their narratives we gather that the vow
age was moderately good until May Ali. The
last three days it was impossible to take OBJ
servatiOns.
The ship was out of her course at the time
Of the catastrophe. Capt Thomas was on
deck night and day for four entire days. At
O'Clock in the evening of the 7th, there was
dense fog; sails were taken in, engines put
on half speed and fog bells used.
Bishops Light was unseen, though only
half mile distant At 10 O'Clock we struck
on the rect, and after tour bumps the steamer
settled down. There was q violent sea and
the tide was rising.
The darkness was intense. Most of the
male passengers were awake, and there was
the usual rush for boats. but nearly all the
boats were stove in. One boat, with few
sailors, left the ship, cowardly refusing to aid.
Two boats were saved.
The captain endeavored to compel obedi-
ence by firing his revolver over their heads
During two hours six cannon shots were
fired, when the powder became damaged

were unanswered.
At midnight the fog lifted, in minute re-
vealing the lighthouse, the waves sweeping
the decks and carrying away its victims. At
2 o'clock the deck-house, In which were the
women and children, was swept away. The
cries and shrieks of the victims were heart.
rending; then followed CHASTITY silence.
The smoke stack fell, crushing some of the
boats and two others were carried away, the
remainder soon followed. The captain went
to the forward bridge. Each succeeding
wave took fresh victims.
Some persons sought refuge on the main
mast and some on the foremost. At o'clock
the captain and two other officers were on
The bridge.
The captain fried for moment to render
and was swept away. Thus per-
shed brave man.
Mr.. Stern says at this time about ten per-
IONS were clinging to the rigging of the
nainmast, and thirty to that OF the fore
mast
The ship had csreened, her yards touching
he water, and the tide was rising. At five
o'clock the fog lifted; the survivors shouted,
out their cries were unavailing.
At o'clock the mainmast, and ct quarter
o the foremost, both of iron, fell. Then
wo of the st. Agnes boats came and rescued
he few who had managed to keep afoat. It
vas reported yesterday that there were one
hundred and three women on board.
The survivors were taken to-day from
'enzance to Plymouth whence they will be
ent forward to Hamburg where the greatest
xcitement prevails. It is asserted that life
aving belts were issued to the women. 1t is
ertain that most of the passengers found
zone.
The order was given that the irst boat
hould take the women and children. This
oat capsized. POLICEMAN says seven boats
1ere launched, and only two lived, the others
1ere stove in and swamped Immediately. The
ries for help lasted until 8 o'clock.
The last voice heard was that of little
hid in the cabin. 1t is not probable the
oats could have lived even if they had been
uccessfully filed. The whole number saved
, forty-four. Forty bodies have been re-
overed.
Mr.. D. Smith, Of the Scilley Islands, writes
, the Times that many additional lives were
,st because the guns and rockets fred from
he Schiller were fh049ht to be merely the
rdinsry signals Of arrival, which have ire
uently bsGn the sauss of false alarms.
