Terrible Time al Sea.
TORONTO, March 25.-The log OF the
steamer Chateau Marguax gives the de-
tails of a terrible voyage. The Marguax
left Bordeaux with provisions for only 20
days, but meeting the Norseman she Sc
cured some provisions, but could get no
other help. On the 18th instant the wind
blew a terrible gale and immense waves
swept continually over the vessel, carry
ing off everything above decks and dam
aging a portion Of the bulwarks. The
gale lasted three days. Several vessels
we're sighted, but were unable to help the
Marguax on account of the high seas, and
her own rudder was in q useless condition.
All these, however, gave all possible en-
couragement, and attempted to render
assistance. The steamer Oregon on the
18th took off three cabin and forty-fve
steerage passengers, and also returned to
England. On the evening OF the
18th another heavy Northwestern raised the
waves to a mountainous hight, which
| rolled and pitched the vessel, and threat
| ened to swamp her. There was great
| terror on board, and at times the steamers
boilers shook in their stands, aaG it
| seemed certain that they would break
| loose. Saturday last, when about $50
| miles from Halifax, the steamer Caledonia,
after some demur, took her in tow and
| brought her safely to port. The Margaux
is a magnificently equipped boat, and is
intended for direct New York trade.
The Mississippi an Inland sea-.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Hon. J. Floyd
King, member of Congress from Louisi-
ana, received the following telegram:
RADNEY, Miss, March 25.-The Kemple
levee gave way at 1915. This makes the
disaster complete, and the Mississippi
| valley is one vast inland sea. This will
make the loss beyond calculation, to say
nothing Of the loss of life and suffering of
the people. Congress must come to our
relief and feed the people at once. Lofts,
our gin houses and floating RATS will be
the only place of abode. I believe the
best mode for the distribution OF sup.
plies is through the Engineer Depart.
ment, in charge of the river improvement.
They have every appliance necessary, and
less waste and imposition would attend
their efforts. (Signed) E. L. WHITNEY.
