THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE.


Experience of "a Steamboat Captain.
Capt. Charles Mclean, of the
steamer Geneva, sunk at Hugunillos
in the great earthquake on the
Pacific coast, on the 10Th inst, re-.
Gently arrived at New York, and
tells the story of his experiences. He
says, though apparently safely anchored
his ship became entangled with Others
near as they tossed wildly about crush.
ing against each other, sinking almost
Immediately y in fifteen tathoms Of water.
On the first alarm he came up from be.
tween the decks, 1t was about eight and
a half pm. There had been several
shocks in the previous twenty days, but
he had completed his cargo of guano and
was expecting to sail next morning.
Aside from the frighttul rumbling sound
his attention was arrested by the extra
ordinary phenomena on shore, the noun
tains above being so much agitated that
great rocks become detached and rolled
down toward the sea, resembling balls of
fire, Furthermore, the water at the an.
chorage suddenly receded so that the
ships in eight iathOms touched bottom,
At the same time it was observed that
the ships were surging round and round
and in opposite directions, and the an
Chor chains became cntangled beneath
the copper yards and intcrlocking, while
the air resoundcd with falling spars and
crash of the bulwarks. The water came
surging in like maelstrom. causing the
Geneva to swing round at the rate of
eight or ten lathoms an hour in great cir
cleS until she struck againsta rock, which
tore out part Of her bottom. The ship
was forced in an opposite direction and
went down. The other vessel were as
violently driven ashore or went to the
bottom, rs in the case of the English
ship Avonmore, Capt Garfield, which
took down with her the captains wife,
three children and several others. Capt.
Mclean says it seemed to him from the
or electrical appearance of
the mountain that the volcano was burst
ing out its sides The rocks were tumb
ling about with frightlul noise. and
everything was lighted up. lie thinks
the damage to shipping was caused not
so much by the tidal wave as the upward
rush Of the water and rotary currents
driving the ships repeatedly y against each
other.
