The Gay Head Wreck.

The steamer City of Columbus of the
I,oston and Savannah line, which left Bos
tor, Thursday afternoon. for Savannah
was wrecked at half-past three Friday
morning on ledge called Devils Bridge
off Gay Head, point on Marlha's Vine
ward. A fierce gale was blowing at the
time, and the steamer went partly on he'
side and was mostly submerged.
There were 81 passengers and crew o.
As Of these twelve passengers and seven
teen ,eamen were saved. The passengers
as they came on deck, were nearly al
washed overheard. and there does mo-
seem to have been any organized attempt
to save them. No woman or child was
rescued, and, indeed, not one was placed
in the rigging, where some of the passen
gers, and good many sailors, took
refuge.
Though immediate death was better fol
the weaker passengers than the long suf-
fering that would have ended in death hat
they reached the rigging it is not to the
credit of the captain and crew that nobod,
but men were enabled to reach that tenn
porary refuge. Six or seven of those
saved went off in boat; but the most OF
them were rescued from the rigging Fri
day afternoon by life boats. Lieutenan
Rhodes of the revenue cutter dexter,
was noliceably brave, reaching the vesse
by swimming and taking off the last two
men, one of them already dead and lh'
other so frozen that he died before reach
ing the Dexter.
Several of those who reached the 10
ging of the steamer remained for hour,
till weary land FRI zen they dropped into
the sea dead or dying. The number o.
lives lost was ninety-seven; sxty-nin
passengers and twepty-eight seamen. Th
steamer was good one and the disaste,
was utterly needless, occasioned by care
lessly getting out of her course.
Capt. Wright had gone below and CAM
back on deck just before the vessel struck
on learning there was trouble. 1t is no
known whether he gave the wheeman
wrong order or the wheelman misundel
stood him, or whether tho drift of tn,
vessel was more than was expected. Ii
any case had the captain remained OF
deck the accident would not have happen
ed as the night was moonlight and b,
could have seen that the steamer was no
on her proper course.
Among the lost were DR.. Horace c.
Bartlett and wife OF Lyndon, Vt. Mrs
Bartlett was Sarah Brown of Marblehead
DR.. Bartlett and his wife lived several
months in Montpelier some twelve year,
ago when he assisted Gen. Thomas in tn,
pension Office. He was son of Hon
Thos. Bartlett and man of excellent
education. He had retired from the
practice of medicine at his wlfe's wish a.
she was an invalid and had an amp
fortune.
The captain of the lost steamer had
good reputation founded on long years OF
service but long use seems to have mad,
him fatally confident that things would o,
well. He was saved and was one of the
last men taken from the wreck lie was
reported to be insane because of the dsas
ter but this is denied though he is muci
depressed 1t is said that the acci,len
will be the cause of establishing more life
saving stations and better guards for
mariners off the Massachusetts coast.
