N"PeaA ooAoALioAouo VI tllo sGculilST H.. StelQ-
man, wrecked at sambro, N. s., gives the fol
lowing particulars: The steamer had fine
weather on the passage, with the exception of
the last two days, which were very foggy, il
being impossible 10 get any reckoning, and he
thinks he must have over-run his time. At 10
P. m. the Sd inst, he saw . light ahead, which
ne first took. for the Chebucto light, the fog
making 1t appear about five miles off; but it
one. He discovered, MS he
neared the light, that it was Sambro, and before
he had time to reverse the engines, he was
among the lodges northeast of the island. Tho
steamer struck twios, and began filling fast
He then tried to run her ashore, but she sank
in o few minutes. AS soon as the ship struck
the captain ordered the passengers all on deck,
but they wore all swept overborrd and drowned
by theheavy seas which swept over her. Two
passengers and five of the crew got into a boat,
ana managed to reach shore. The captain, who
was at his post on the bridge when she went
down threw Off his boots and coat and took
to the forward rigging, but she sank faster
than he could climb, so he was obliged
to let himself float, and after considerable
trouble caught the top gallant yard, and chung
managed to keep himself aao;t until 5 a. m.
Friday, when a boat put off from the island and
rescued them. The surviving passengers and
seaman OF the ll-fatod steamer arc:
Henry S~choonhoven, Antwerp, captain; Eu-
gene Nit9tola, Matford, Luxembourg; 1occo Mic
olla Nncengo Salano, Italy; John Mederman,
