THE ISABELLA.
More Particulars of the Loss OF the New
Bedford Whaler.

HALIFAX, N. s., Aug. 28.
The steamer Nova Scotian which arrived
here to-day, from Liverpool via st. Johns,
N. F., brought from the latter port Capt
Blossom and 81 of the crew of the American
whaling brig Isabella, which was lost in the
ice in Hudson's straits. The Isabella sailed
from New Bedford May 27, 1884 and entered
the ice pack July IL. She was crushed in
the ice on the Goth of the same month, 20
miles north of North Bluff. All of the crew
90 in number, and a stowaway were saved
They wandered about on the ice for four
days suffering intensely from cold. They
finally reached the settlement of Acalier and
remained there until September 8, when the
whaler Ezra arrived of the place and they
were all taken on board and kindly cared for,
but owing to the scarcity of food on the Ezra
both crews had TO be put on short allowance
Up to the time of her loss the Isabella had
taken no whales not having reached the
whaling grounds. The steward of the vessel
was taken sick at Acalier and remained there
when the others left. While on board the
Ezra one of the Isabella's crew, a Swede
named Francis Pemro, died Of scurvy. The
rest of the men are all in good health. When
in Hudson's Straits they had to live mostly
by hunting, their principal food being veni-
son and Walrus flesh. The first mate
shipped on the Ezra on her arrival at St.
Johns.
