brutal and Cowardly Assault.

On Saturday night about half past eleven
o'clock. Mr.. Martin A. Dow started from his liv-
ery stable, near the old Cushnoc House, for his
boarding place. On passing by the front OF the
Cushnoc House, he saw a man standing near the

Loss of Steamship Vicksburg.
A NIGHT In THE RIGGING.
Narrow Escape of Passengers and
Grew.

New York, February 81. The loss Of steam
ship Vicksburg, near Fire Island, came very near
sacrificing the lives of all on board. After strik-
ing she was forced upon the sand and the sea
broke completely over her, the ice and water hav-
ing opened her seams. The captain and crew, to
prevent being washed overheard lashed them
selves to portion of the rigging of the mainmast
the foremost having gone overheard. One sea,
which broke over the vessel as high as the mast
head, swept the cook away and he was drowned
before his loss was known by his companions. 1t
was impossible to make any signals of distress,
for the signal apparatus, which was slowed in the
deck house, was washed overheard soon after the
first shock All night the crew and passengers
remained in the rigging, enduring the most fear
full fortunes, but fortunately the wind moderated
towards morning and the temperature became
warmer.
At break of day the wrecked ship was observed
by the men of the life saving station No. 81, on
Fire Island beach, Bowen 1slp and Sayylle, and
boat was at once sent off to rescue the people
seen cinging to the shrouds and rigging. Two
trips were made and all hands safely landed and
speedily furnished with restoratves and dry cloth
ing.
As morning advanced the sea subsidized and an.
other voyage was made to the wreck and some
little baggage was got out The vessel then be-
gan to 60 rapidly to pieces and all hopes of saving
anything except what was washed ashore was
abandoned.
The cargo was mostly cotton and rosin. A large
numDeT Vi DhieS VI IoIueT are constantly GULL
ing ashore and will be saved, but the rosin, etc,
will be total loss.
The captain and 10 of the officers and crew re-
main on the beach to look after the salvage. The
remainder, consisting of II men aud the purser,
came to this city yesterday P. NJ. With the party
were passengers. The whole party were poorly
clad and had no effects but what they carried on
their backs. One man had a cut on his face, re-
ceived in the capsizing of the ice boat which
the voyage was made from Fire Island to Say
vile. All were more or less bruised and showed
unmistakable signs of the rough usage they had
undergone. The remainder Of the passengers
are now safely housed at the hotel at Sayville.
The Vicksburg is owned here and valued at
$4,000. Value of cargo, $4,000.
