Their Personal Effects. ST

SANFORD, Fla, Fe'
Chief Engineer h oe, of the ill-fated'
ship America, gives the following aftit!at
particulars of the loss of the vessel. On" T.
llth inst, the America experienced SCI
heavy weather and sprung leak. which v
so large that the coal bunkers were sdbn : y
merged and coal getting mixed with the wi!er
clogged the pumps, rendering them useless.
Half barrels were then rugged and the water
was bailed out in that way. and the ship was
lightened by throwing overheard 200 barrels
of sugar, but the water continued to gain at
the rate of six inches an hour, filling the en-
gine room and putting out the fires.
The Captain seeing there was no hope, or
dered her headed for land under sail, where
she soon stranded. Boats were lowered and
the crew, consisting OF l6 souls all told,
reached the shore in safety. The vessel went
to pieces and is a total loss. She is wholly
uninsured. Captain Miller, who was also her
owner, and his first officer remained upon the
beach and ordered Engineer Roe to take
charge of the remaining l3 men and make
the best of their headway to New York. The
men lost all of their effects and were in a
destitute condition. They reported having
met with kindness from the people.

offered, would unanimously sustain me iu

everything connected with the coinage elm
mating both from the bill and resolution
Mr., Randall moved to suspend the rules

point committee of three to investigs te the
