TSpeea to the Democrat,


New YoRK, June 13-Capt. Chas Maeleon,
of the ship Geneva, which sunk at Huquanil-
los IN the great earthquake on the Pacific
coast, on the 9th ult, has arrived and tells
the story of his experiences He says that,
though apparently safely anchored, his ship
became entangled with others near as they
tossed wildly about crashing against each
other, and sinking almost Immediately in
fifteen fathoms of water. On the first alarm
he came lp from between the decks. 1t was
then about 80 y. m
There had been several shocks in the pre-
vious twenty days. but he had, nevertheless,
completed his cargo Of guano and was ex-
pecting to sail the next morning. Aside from
the frightful rimbling sound, his attention
was arrested by tho extraordinary phenom-
ena Of the shore and mountain above being
SO much agitated that great rocks became
detached and rolled down toward the sea.
resembling balls of fire. Furthermore. the
water at the anchorage suddenly receded, SO
that ships in eight fathoms touched bottom.
At the same time 1t was observed that the
ships were swinging round and round and In
opposite directions. The anchor chains then
became entangled beneath the copper yards
and the masts interlocking, while the air re-
sounded with falling spars and the crash of
bulwarRs. The water came surging In like O
maelstrom, causing the Geneva to swing
round at the rate of eight OF ten knots In great
circles until she struck against rock, which
tore out part Of her bottom.
The ship was forced violently In All opposite
direction and went down The other vessels
were as violently driven ashore or went to
the bottom, as In the case of the English ship
Avonmore, Capt. Cranfield. which took down
with her the captains wife, three children
and several others.
Capt Macleon says it seemed to him from
the sulphurous OF electrical appearance of
the mountain that the volcano was bursting
out ut its sides: the rocks were tumbing
about with frightful noise and everything was
lighted up.
He thinks that tho damage TO the shipping
was caused not SO much by the tidal wave as
by the upward rush of water and rotary cur
rents drawing the ships repeatedly against
each other.
