Nearly One Thousand Lives Lost In the
Past Twelve Years-sOme of the Most
Important Wrecks Noticed.

Nearly One Thousand Lives Lost I'm the
Past Twelve Years-some of the Most
Hmpertart Wrecks Noticed.
HALIFAX, N. S., April 5.-There seems to be q
strange fatality connected with this part of the
Nova Scotia coast, where the Steinmann was
wrecked. During the past eleven or twelve years
there have been nearly many disasters in the i'm
mediate vicinity and the total loss of life which has
resulted from them cannot be much below round
thousand. It was Just off Sambro light that the
greatest loss of life by shipwreck known in the
world took place. The fated steamer was the At
lantic, one of the largest and finest of the White
Star line feet, on which occasion between 900 and
700 lives were lost. The few particulars which
have been received of the sinking Of the Steinmann
reveals many striking condolences in connection
with the loss Of the Atlantic Not only is the local
ity of the wreck of the steamer from Antwerp al
most identical with that where the steamer from
Liverpool went down, but there Is only lacking an
coming on the 18th anniversary of the one in
which the greater number of lives were sacrificed
The Atlantic struck and went down on the morning
of April l, 1873, at about the same hour that the
Steinmann was wrecked on the morning of April 3,
1884 The total loss of life by the Atlantic wreck
was $50 out of a total of 978 the greatest sacrifice
of humanity from kindred disaster on record The
captain of the Atlantic, like the captain of the
StenmaDn, was almost the only officer saved
Meaghers rock was the precise point where the At
lantic was lost.
The British steamer Indian, bound from Liver
pool to Portland, was wrecked of Guysboro on
November 81, 1859. Three lives were lost. The
British steamer Hungarian, bound from Liverpool
for Portland, sank with 2o5 souls off Cape Sable
on February 10, 1860. Not one ON board was left
to tell tho tale Of the disaster Abor % years ago
the Boston and Liverpool packet ship Staffordshire
struck on Bale rock, of Cape Sable, and between
800 and 400 lives we're lost. The captain fell from
aloft q few days before and broke his leg. When
the ship struck, he was lying on the cabin table.
