The following we're lost: Captain Court,
A. p. Robillard, second officer, D, Williams
and J. Jerard, seamen, John Barrel, second
steward, Handy Cullen, passenger, and an
unknown man, a stowaway.
Early Wednesday morning following the
J departure of the Glamorgan, tremendous
sea struck her, carrying away the fore
mast, all the ventilators, fore and main
winches, and pipes, bridges and rails, and
flooding ali below deck. Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday succeeding
the wind and sea increased
in fury, and the vessel hove to. Monday
the weather moderated and few miles
were made. Tuesday the stor n returned
with increased violence, and a very high
sea was running. Thos. COnley, chief
engineer, says the bcatswain's store rooms,
passengers rooms, ali aft rails, deckhouse
abaft the main mast we're stove in, the
front of the wheelhouse smashed, and the
steering gear broken, the forward main and
bunker matches burst. The ship was
also opened up fore and
aft, through which the
water poured, stopping the engines and
leaving the vessel in the trough of the sea.
All hands were ordered to bale water with
buckets, but after the sea filled her again
fore and aft at daylight, we got the sails
over the matches and other openings to
keep out the water,but they gave way. The
day was then spent by the passengers and
crew bailing and working the pumps, but
despite all exertions the water gained.
Thursday the weather moderated and we
boarded up the matches and kept the peo-
pie bailing. One pump was kept going,
the others being broken or choked. That
pump as the sea was breaking
there was no shelter for those
on deck. Friday, the weather again mod
Grating, all hands we're called to the pumps
and the damage to the hatch coverings re-
paired. We lost our wood and sail and
now our hope. About noon steamer hove
in sight and bore down. 1t proved to be
the Republic. Captain Irvine sent
US boat, losing a man
launching. That boat took of
some of our men. The sea was running
too nigh to continue the work of rescue
but the weather moderating about o'clock
the Republic launched a second boat, and
our dfty-three passengers and the remain
ing officers and crew saved. The captain
and others mentioned above as lost were
swept away in the awful sea that wrecked
the vessel Wednesday morning, at the be-
ginning of the gale.
