AN awful disaster has just occurred off
Cape Hatteras, in the wreck of the United
States Steamer Huron. One hundred and
fifty-fve men, seamen and offers were on
board, and thirty only were reported as
being saved. The spot where the disaster
took place is about two miles north of Life
Saving Station No. Z, near Oregon Inlet.
The crew at the station hurried to
the scene of the wreck, and attempted to
render assistance, but were prevented from
doing SO by the fury of the storm, although
they remained on the spot until three
o'clock in the afternoon. The surf was full
of dead bodies, that could not be reached,
and the only ones recovered were few that
happened to be washed ashore during the
day. Four officers were among the saved.
These were Paymaster Sanders, Ensign
Young, Assistant Engineer Denig, and Cadet
Engineer Warburton.
