Ajaeo.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The Brooklyn
Eagle says a terrible marine catastrophe
took place of Coney Island yesterday.
The first great wreck in the history of the
beach occurred during the great storm
which burst on the coast from the north

q partial cargo of kerosine in barrels, be-

Beach. The crew numbered fifteen men,
including the captain. When it became
evident that the bark could not be saved,
a panic took place among the crew. Cap
tain Maurice tried his best to keep the
men under discipline, but was unable to
do SO. Heavy seas broke over the vessel,
washing the men one by one from the
wreck. Four of the men, in de
spair, against the earnest expos.
~tulation of the captain, committed
suicide by cutting their throats, and their
bodies were washed overheard. The re.
mainder of the crew, with the exception
of on man, who alone remains to tell the
dreadful tale, were becoming gradually ex.
hausted, and were washed overheard and
lost. The bark first struck the Rockaway
shoals. The wreck gradually broke up,
and the poop-deck, cabin house and one
mast we're first seen about 4 o'clock this
morning off Manhattan beach, at q dis
lance Of two and a half miles. The life
station crew went to the wreck and res.
cued the only survivor. He could only

his name as Peter Soilace, and told the
story of the disaster. The sea in front Of
Coney Island is covered with kerosene bar.
