MARINE DISASTERS.

The Lost searaen of the Scli2. FHolway.
NEW YORK, April 6-The following are the
names of the persons lost fgom the schoeaer
,Holway on Fire Island:
Lafayette Thompson, captain, unmarried,
Of Machias, Ne, aged about q years; Freder-
lex Huutey, mate, widower, of Cutler, Nc,
aged about 10 years; Frank Foster, second
mate, married, Of Maehiasport; Albert Gard,
cook, OF Dennysville, Me-; Thomas W. Gray
and Charles Goliath of Machasport Me-, sea-
men.
None Of the bodies of the drowned men have
come ashore 1t is probable they were washed
away to the west, and the chance of failing
them is more slight as each day passes. The
uncle.of one of the mates was on the beach yes
terday, and he entertained slight hopes of find
ing his relatives body. The schooner is the
fifth vessel wrecked within less than two miles
of Flat Beach within the past three years. The
skeletons of three of them stick up like grim
signals of distress from the white sands. The
fourth was the Great Western. Ii the crew
had remained on board an hour, they could
have swung themselves ashore with very little
effort from the jibboom. The pirates along the
beach behave like wolves, and everything that
touches the beach is grabbed and carried off in
SANITY, night and day.
