of Chipman Bros, agents for the White
Cross Line, returned this afternoon
from Sambro, where he went last night
to look after the survivors of the wreck.
ed steamer Daniel Steinmann. The
stormy weather last night prevented
him from attempting to reach Sambro
Island, but in the morning, at five
o'clock, he secured pilot who would
endeavor to reach the island. They
took a pilot boat and dory with them
and when as near the island as they
could risk the pilot boat, the dory was
launched and, with the assistance of
men on the island, Chapman got ashore
and saw Captain Schoonovey and obtain.
ed the following particulars of the
wreck: The steamer had ne weather
on the passage, with the exception
of the last two days, which were very
foggy, it being impossible to get
any reckoning, and he thinks he must
have overrun his time. At l0P. NJ. on
the Sd inst. he saw light ahead, which
lie at first took for the Chebucto light,
the fog making it appear about five
miles off, but It could not have been
more than one. He discovered as he
neared the light that it was Sambro, and
before he had time to reverse the ell.
gnes, he was among the lodges north
east of the island. The steamer struck
twice and began filling fast. He then
tried to run her ashore, but she sank in
few minutes. As soon as the ship struck,
the captain ordered the passengers all
on deck, but they were all swept over
board and drowned by the heavy sets
which swept over her. Two passenger
and five of the crew got into the boat and
managed to reach shore. The ship
went down stern first. The Captain,
who was at his post on the bridge when
the ship went down, threw off his boots
and coat and took to the forward rig
ging, but she sank faster than he could
climb, and he was obliged to let himself
float aud, after considerable trouble,
caught the top-gallant yard and clung
there with one Of the passengers, who
also managed to keep himself afoat un-
til B A. NJ, Friday, when boat put off
from the island and rescued them. The
Captain will remain on the Island to
look after the wreck and will not come
up to the city until the first OF the week.
