Marine Disaster-A Vessel Bottom Up-
 ward Passed i'm Mid Ocean.
 ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 27.-The British schooner Hilda has just arrived from Green ock, Scotland, after experiencing a most tempestuous passage, extending over thirty three days Captain Triscott, of this vessel reports having passed on the 2sth of June, at 8 o'clock a.. m.. in latitude 530 24' north, long itude 190 and 2S' west, a vessel bottom up, whose length of keel and bilge indicated a capacity of about 300 tons The bottom of the ship was covered with yellow metal, dis tinctly visible as the wreck rose out of the trough of the sea, at the time lashed into a fury by heavy westerly gale. At one time the Rilda was in danger of colliding with the inverted ship, as she was running under double reefed fore and aft canvas The day previous to falling in with this wrecked ves- sel Captain Triscott passed a large, white painted boat, also bottom up and thirty five feet in length, which he thinks is double the size of any boat this f1atsam ship would car ry, and he believed it to be one of the life- boats of large vessel of about one thousand tons- During twenty-two days the Hilda never once shook the double reefs out of her sails, although a very tidy square -rigged schooner On the 29th and 3Oth of June the .Hilda experienced very severe weather. Three successive gales with brief intervals of calm, blew with tremendous force Start ing from the northwest, with few brief pauses, the gale veered around to the south east A transient Hull then intervened, fol- lowed by a furious northeast gale. The weather during the whole passage till near ing the Newfoundland coast was of wintry coldness.
