SUNK BY COLLISION.
A Portland Bound Steamer Goes
Down off Sambro.
NARROW ESCAPE OF THE CREW OF
THE VESSEL.

HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 15.-Steamer How
ards, bound to Portland, Me-, with 1900 tons OF
coal, from Sydney, @. B., collided twenty miles
off Sambro with brigantine Emma, from Phil
adelphia, bound to this port, with 223 tons of
coal. Both vessels received such damage that
their crews were compelled to abandon them
and risk their lives in open boats until picked
up after daylight by brigantiue Henry Carpet,
for Pictou, which was fortunately in the vicin-
ity. The Henry Carpet transferred them to
pilot boat, which arrived this afternoon and
landed them soon after. The wrecked crews
reached the city and proceeded to the Sailors
Home.
Can't. Shelton, of the steamer Howards, said
the Towards was twenty-five miles southwest
by west from Sambro A fresh west wind was
blowing with moderate sea and cloudy sky.
The regulation lights were burning and her en-
gines going at fullspeed, about y knots an hour.
The second officer John lacey was in charge
on deck with man at the wheel and one on
the lookout. All were together on the bridge
where the wheel was, as the water rushing ov-
or the forward part of the ship. The three
men observed the brigantine about TIE same
time on their starbosrd bow, but no lights
were visible on her, and it could not be
seen which way she was steering
The second officer ordered the helm hard to
starboard but the words had hardly been said
before the other vessel crashed into the
steamer. She rebounded and struck again.
The captain who was asleep was awakened by
the collision. He rushed on deck and ordered
the engines to be stopped Seeing the damage
was serious and that the vessel was setting
fast he ordered cutter and gig to be lowered.
All hands had reached the deck by this time
and got into them and pushed off. They had
rowed not more than 20 yards from her side
when she went down headforemost.
The whole time from the moment she was
struck to the moment she sank was less than
fifteen minutes Nothing was saved. Both
boats rowed toward the brigantine but found
she was also sinking. The crew had already
taken to their boats. The boats were headed
for land Though efforts were made to keep
together they got separated in the darkness
and kept so until rescued by the Henry Corpel
The men suffered fearfully from cold and wet.
A sheet was stretched on an oar and this was
seen by the Henry Corpel. On being taken on
board it was found that five men in the gig had
already reached her in afety an hour and a
half before. The brigantine on receiving news
of the collision from the crew of the first boat,
hove to and a lookout for the others was
placed and the remaining boat which con-
tanned seven men was observed and picked up

dard that he sent dispatch to the New York
Irish World admitting that he had given adj

in connection with the arrest of Tobin, the
Fenian, at that place, relate to the establish
ment by force Of arms of an Irish republic.
They reveal the existence of an extensive Or
ganization known as the "Royal Irish Re-
publican Society, with numerous members.
The books, rules and a list of members of the
society are likely to throw light on the ex-
istence of similar organizations elsewhere.
