Wires This Afternoon.
BosToN, Mass, Jan. 19.--Tae pilot of
the City of Columbus says that before the
wreck he fixed the course of the vessel,
fastened tho wheel and went to the smoke
stack to warm himself. lie remained
there twenty minutes and when he re.
turned to his post he found the ship
had veered around and was among the
rocks. II is said that many of tho
passengers did not leave the cabin
until their bodies were washed out
by the waves. No one who could not
swim left the wreck alive, and tho plunge
of the swimmers into the water was
appalling and certainly fatal to all not
physically strong. Sad stories are told
of the sweeping away one by one of those
in the rigging, as the cold caused them to
relax their holds, or the waves tore them
from their grasp.
