The United States man-Of-war steamer
Huron, Commander G. Z. Ryan, which sail
ed from Fortress Monroe for Havana on
the 23d, was wrecked on the North Caro-
lima coast, near Kitty Hawk signal station,
at an early hour on the following morning.
Soon after striking on the shoals the vessel
went to pieces, and of the 135 persons
on board only 81 succeeded in reaching the
shore alive. There was no assistance rem
dered from the shore, for want of life-sav-
ing apparatus. A severe gale prevailed
along the coast on the night of the disaster,
and it is supposed that the vessel became
manageable through the breaking down
of her engines and driftcd helplessly upon
the breakers.
The following are the names of the officers
lost on the wrecked steamer Huron: Com
mander G. p. Ryan, Lieuts. s. A. Simons
and L. G. Palmer, Masters J. NJ. Wright and

was just out of the dock at New
York, where she had been entirely over
hauled, She was manned by crew Of 1O4
men, besides Is marines, and her officers
numbered Il, only eight of whom were
