THE SHIP CHAMPAIGN. Particulars of her
loss By passenger-Mr. Fred Cushman of this
city who was passenger on the ship Champ
lain lost near San Francisco few weeks since,
Capt. Reuben Merrill of Yarmouth master, has
written a letter to his mother, Mrs. Rufus
Cushman of this city from which we are per-
mitted to make few extracts. The ship ex-
perienced stormy weather nearly all the trip
from New York, through which the hull stood
like iron but her deck works are much dam
aged. For sometime before the disaster the
ship encountered fOgs so thick that one could
hardly see the ships length Three days previ-
Gus to striking, no observation could be taken.
The ship had been beating around three days
outside of the entrance trying to make the
light. The afternoon before the accident
schooner was spoken which gave the ship the
course of E. S. E. 20 miles. After sailing that
distance, the ship started westerly. The new
course had just been taken when the lookout
shouted rocks on the lee side and mother rocks
ahead. The ship soon struck on the weather
side 1t was impossible to avoid it as the ship
was under short sails, the wind light and cur
rent strong. All the boats were safely lannch-
ed and we went into the cabin to save some-
thing but had hardly got there before toe ship
came off the rocks and began to sink
fast. We all went for the long
boat which was alongside 1 was the
last on board, following the captain. We tried
to get away from the ship, being close under
her bows. We were doomed to disappoint-
ment. We had half the boat by the point
when the broken side (stove in the hurricaneJ
came. The ship plunged and took the boat
with it, filling it half full. The second
time the boat struck the ship, the captain was
knocked SenSelesS. He was seen a moment
but sunk at second sight. The seaman was
probably killed at once. l sat next to them in
the boat / had gone down three times when 1
let go followed by gradual sinking. made
desperate effort to reach the surface and was
successful A sea carried me aft, and another
gave me the hold of rope. l shouted to the
boat, watched the next sea when let go the
rope and was caught by the third mate as 1
was sinking for the last time. l was dragged
aboard more dead than alive, / was put in
coats and soon taken on board schooner,
when changed my clothes and so weathered
the disaster.
