THE TARRURA WRECK.
Total Destruction Of the Vessel,
and Over Sixty Lives Lost.

Total Destruction Of the Vessel,
and Over Sixty Lives Lost.
San Francisco, June 16.-The fol~
lowing particulars Of the wreck of
the steamer Tarrura are given in the
Auckland Herald of May 24th: The
Tarrura belonged to the Union Com
pany, of New Zealand, and was en-
ployed on the coast of New Zealand,
and in running to Melbourne
and Sidney, on which voyage
she was wrecked. She had passed
down the east coast of New Zealand,
calling at different points. She was
between Port Chalmer and the port
of Dunelip and Bluff, the last place
of call before going to Melbourne,
when the vessel first struck. The sea
was comparatively calm, and it was
thought no lives would be lost, but
heavy surf breaks on that part of
the coast, and there are no life>boats
or life saving apparatus there. One
small boat, which started for the
steamer, was driven upon the beach,
and another could render no assist
ance and was subsequently picked up
at sea, Later, heavy swell set in,
and she settled down on the rocks
and was washed over by the waves
The crew and passengers huddled
together on the forecastle and in
the rigging, and as they
became exhausted were gradu-
ally washed off into the sea.
The vessel struck at 5 o'clock on
Friday morning, and by 2 o'clock in
the afternoon all the women and
children had been washed off the
forecastle. A few of the strongest
of tue men held ont in the rigging
until a. O 2 o'c,ock Saturday morn
ing. As one by one they dropped
into the sea their cries were heard by
those on shore. When morning
dawned there was scarcely vestige
of the wreck to be seen. Between
sixty and seventy bodies were
washed ashore, most of which have
oeen identified. The greater num-
Der OF these have been buried on
the coast.

as amusing as annoying. Every day

Accompanying these is a note from

saying how much good tue medicine
has done him. He will soon be able

KNOXVILLE TENN: MORNING,
sIr. Suffers Captivity. gNzz

Mr.. Suter has given to correspondent
tf the London Standard at Salonica an
account of the experiences he had while a
captive of the brigrands:
'On the night Of the capt ure, imme-
diately after separating from his wife, he
was hurried off to distanc of twelve miles
from Isvor, where he was hidden ali the
following day. For nearly fortnight his
hiding place was changed every night
His arms were kopt bound, and two men
were always standing oyer him with load
ed rifles for two days q ter he was taken.
The brigands were composed of two bands,
one of thirteen, under Captain AristiCa
and Ghiorghi Katzsi o; the other of twelve,
urder Captain Nicola. Some of the
brigands were Ottoman Greeks, some
Helene, others Christian Albanians and
deserters from the Greek army. Th ere
was always great discord between the two
bands, and in their quarrels the cap4ive's
life was often in great dan ger Mir, Suter
and his captors slept on leaves upon the
ground The days were mostly spent in
dancing, drinking and singing wnen the
br gands were not absent on foregoing ex
pt dtions, and part of their time was pass
ed in playing cards and in telling stories of
murders and exploits. The brigands used
most profane and blasphemous language;
but they were s1perstitious, and were strict

During Mr.. Suter's captivity sentries

and well armed. Some of their rifles were

wolf skin and blanket, and his tent Just
large enough to cover himself and beautiful
setter dog, which followed him and
readily obeyed every command
His Turkish raiment and singular
appearance caused him considerable ridicule

himself so wherever he goes. When not

George Turner, white lad, was arrested
Tuesday evening by Constable John Reeder
and jailed on the charge of brutally, and
without any provocation, assaulting Frank
Parker, colored, near Joe Meek's store, on
Mabry street. 1t seems that Parker did
everything he could to avoid the difficulty,
and made no resistance, but Turner, who
was drinking and cursing at fearful rate,
inflicted a severe stab with his knife.
Yesterday Turner was arraigned before
Justice Allison, on a change of venue from
Justice Brooks. He plead guilty to the
charge of profanity and was fined 50 and
costs, in all about $15. He was bound over
to court on the charge of felonious assault
and recommitted to Jail. He will have an
other hearing next Monday on the charge of
carrying razor

Considerable excitement prevailed over
the city by this time, George being we'll
known here. Capt. David Newman, who
was captain of the old citizen military COM
pany, the Knoxville Rifles, at once went to
work collecting the members of his COM
pany, with uniforms and arms. In the
mean time he telegraphed Col. Reeves at
Rogersville Junction, as to his ORDERS and
Col Reeves notified him to await further
orders. Capt. Newman ascertained the cost
of special train, and telegraphed the gov
ernor, to which reply came to procure the
train on the best terms possible and proceed
at once. Accordingly, Capt. Newman mus
tered in twenty-five men and boys, together
with two drummer boys, and left about
five minutes after O'clock in a
special train, consisting of coach and en-
gine, in charge of Capt. Robt. Conner.
Their order from Capt. Smith, assistant dis
trict attorney, was to proceed to the june
tdon and remain there till morning, unless
they had further orders.
There being no telegraphic communica-
tod with Rogersville, we were unable to OBJ
tain further information last night, but it is
hoped that better counsel prevailed, and
with the present light before u.s. we can
not see what was to be accom-
plished by the military, who could not,
under any circumstances, reach the scene of
action last night, and if anything was going
to be done, it would most likely have been
done during the night,

directors of the road next Saturday. 1t is
believed here that arrangements will be
made with the Baltimore and Ohio. The

for rails for the entire road from the Savan-
