LONDON, March 9.-The name of a
steamer lost while on the way from Copen-
hagen to Leith was the Navarro not Ne
| vance, as at first reported. Of the Ma
varre's passengers who had intended to en-
bark for America by the Anchor line we're
| thirty-three adults and ten infants; by the
State line, four male emigrants, named
Anderson, Hogelberg, Nygren and Mann,
who were rescued and landed at Hull. Five
other passengers are on board a Dutch
fishing smack. Altogether six of the crew
and ten passengers were saved.
LONDON, March "a Dutch fishing
smack which picked up five of the Navar-
res passengers has arrived at Hull.
Miss Alexandra Holz and Swede bound
for Minnesota, and who lost his wife and
four children, have also arrived at Hull.
Mammal is emigration agent at Brooklyn,
New York.
Mammal, who for three-quarters of an
hour was clinging to piece of timber,
states that the Navarres pumps were found
useless, and all on board baled the vessel
as much as they could. The captain seemed
stupefed. He was hurt on Tuesday, and
from that time until the vessel sank he
The survivors give the following account
of the loss of the steamer on Tuesday:
When 200 miles from Christiansand the
Navarro was struck by heavy sea. The
cargo shifted and on Wednesday the fore
hold filled. When a fishing smack ap-
preached the Navarro ten men took boat
and boarded the smack, letting the small
boat adrift. The smack sailed around the
sinking steamer, but having no boat, was
unable to render her assistance. The emil
grants meantime were clinging'to the rig
ging, the sea rushing over them. In a short
time another smack arrived. Fifteen of
the Navarre's men endeavored to reach her
in another boat, but were swamped and all
were drowned. The steamer arrived only
in time to rescue six persons struggling in
the water, the Navarro foundering.
A survivor states there were only five
cork jackets on board the Navarro. Nun
nal says the large boat which the sailors
took away without attempting to rescue
anyone would have held thirty persons
more than were in the boat.
Twenty five persons were On board tn e
Navarro when she sunk who made no effort
to save themselves. Mammal charges the
captain with cowardice and says many
N ore might have been saved.
DISABLED AT SEA.
New YORK, March 9.-The steamer
Suevia, Hamburg, from reports the
7th inst, latitude AZ, 8, longitude
81 and %, she fell in with the steamer City
Of Chester, hence for Liverpool, with pro-
peller shaft broken, and stood by her
twenty-nine hours and left her in a south
east gale.
Captain Franzen, at quarantine this
evening, says: On Tuesday, March 6, at
2:30 a. M, saw rockets in a southwest di-
rection, about six miles distant. We i'm
mediately started in that direction, and
| answered the signals with blue lights, and
got boats ready. The weather was squally,
| the wind from west northwest, and snow
ing at times. We found, ON signaling the
vessel, it to be q large thrse-masted steam
er. We approached near enough for boat,
had one been sent cut by her, to have
reached us, but had to wait until day break.
The steamer proved to be the City of
| Chester, of the Inman line, which had a
| shaft broken in the stern box. We were
asked if we would tow her to Halifax, but
believing that, with favorable winds and
weather, we might be able to tow her to
New York, the City of Chester consented
! to our proposal.
Steel hawsers were brought to us, and
we gave the City of Chester ours, which,
however, her boat did not succeed in
| hauling clear for some some time. At $50
! this morning the signal to go ahead came
from the City of Chester, and we then pro-
/ ceeded on our course. As the weather
moderated We asked if she had passengers
on board and offered to transfer them to
the Suevia, which was declined with thanks.
We had hoped to be able to run eight or
ten knots with the disabled steamer in tow,
but found, after getting up full steam, that
we were making only six and one fourth
! knots.
For this reason We signalled at $40 p
m, Halifax" and after receiving a reply
to our signal, changed our course for Hall
fax. About sunset the wind moderated
and changed to southeast and then in
creased, causing the sea to run heavily.
The City of Chester now steered SC
badly we could see her broadside at times
On Wednesday the 7th, about 4 o'clock a
m, it was blowing gale, accompanied
by rain and the sea running very
high. At 6:35 q. m. both hawsers
broke and the City of Chester hove te
in estimated latitude 42.8, north longi-
tude 61.28 west. We then ran as close to
her as possible and informed her we haG
to proceed on our voyage, not having suf
ficient coal to remain by her for an uncer-
tain time, possibly until favorable weather
set in. We therefore proceeded at 7:35
o. m, after having been detained alto
gsther twenty mine hours in assisting The
| CITY of Chester.
