Crushed by the Ice.

THE rRJTIsH SCHOONER PROMISE FOUNDERS
IN THE GULF OF ST. LAwRENCE-REsCUE
or the CREw-PROBADLE LOSS OF ANOTIED
VESSEL.
Sr. JOINS, y. F., April 1.-The sealing
brigautine Dawn, Captain King, arrived
here this morning with the officers and
crew OF the British schooner Promise, that
was crushed by the ice on Friday In the
Gulf Of Il. Lawrence. The Promise left
this port on "Wednesday, bound for
Lisbon. She had on board cargo
Of understandable Goldfish, valued nj
$4,000. On Friday, when about forty
five miles southwest OF Cape Pine,
she was struck by huge ice iloe on the
starboard bow, and Immediately began to
leak badly. There was heavy gale blow
ing at the time and very high sea and
swell rolling among the ice. Signals OF
distress were hoisted on the schooner With
out delay. The vessel was surrounded BY
ice foes. and no boat could live for mo-
ment among them. The mail steamer New
foundlanI passed down eastward outside,
but too far distant TO notice the distress
signals,
RESCUE or THE CREW.
Fortunately, however, there was sealer
with all her canvas spread bearing DOWN IN
the direction OF the wrecked vessel. This
proved TO be the Dawn. OF 1T. Johns, en-
gagged on sealing voyage, and having on
board a crew OF seventy men. As soon rs
the sealer got alongside her crew boarded
the promise and manned the pumps, but
the vessel was now sinking rapidly. The
crew OF the Promise were next transferred
TO the Dawn. and the whole sealing crew
set vigorously to work to save the cargo
before the hull had settled down In the
water. In this way $500 quintals Of cod
fish were saved and slowed aboard the
sealer. The schooner sank with the bal
ance OF the cargo.
ANOTHER PROBABLE DISASTER.
About five miles distant lay the German
barkcntinc Solid. She had been rolling fol
some time among the huge sections OF Ice,
when suddenly she disappeared and wa
not seen afterward, nor any portion OF hel
wreck or gear. Captain King Is CT opinion

fering from the effects Of malaria. But he
has since had moro dangerous attack OF
congestion OF the lungs, his condition being
most alarming.

The Mississippi.

SOME engineer in New York whom we
take TO be crank has sent TO us little
pamphlet in which he complains bitterly
that CAPTAIN EADs can get millions Of dol
lar. out OF the public Treasury for the inn
proyement OF the Mississippi whilst be
fthe New York engineer aforesaiO can get
nothing for his scheme for improving the
entrance TO New York harbor. lie de-
cleres, too, that EADs Is damaging the Mis-
issippi instead OF improving It, whereas
he 1.-THE New York engineer) would i'm.
prove the entrance TO New York harbor
instead Of damaging 1t. Some of our cs-
teemed contemporaries OF the press are as
cranky and as ill-iniormed as this New
York engineer, and pay as little attention
10 the arguments advanced by Captain
EAns.
The Louisville Courier Journal takes in
hand one OF the journalistic enemies OF
Captain EADs's scheme Of improving the
navigation Of the Mississippi river and OF
saving the rich bottom lands on its margin
from inundation and the crops upon them

for accomplishing the objects above men,

corning writer who fayors this scheme
The CoTic,~JooTnGt says:
"a trip OF observation down the river
would show that writer that he knows very
little OF the character OF the river. Til,
.creation OF outlets is a process which
means the destruction OF the river as na.
vigable stream. Diffusion means a shoa
river, the diversion OF the main stream and
!. lis location at n distance from existing
J towns. When the river Is properly cou.
centrated, with width OF 5000 feet, by
means OF leyees aud jetties, there will be
no more destructive oyerilows.'
In these few words inseparable objec.
lions to the outlet scheme are suggested
The outlet scheme is exactly what pro
duccd the present state Of things. The

has deposited all over The lower points OF
Louisiana was deposited by slowly-moy.

prove 10 be a failure, but Captain Cow
DoS's must prove TO be such. Indeed, IL
has been tried and found wanting. II
would in few years convert all the lands
upon which II operated into swamps, la
goons, bayous, and habitats for alligators.
