No Further Particulars OF the
Steamer Hilton Castle.

FIRE ISLAND, N. T., Jan. l2,-No
further particulars Of the founding of
the steamer Hilton Castle have been re-
ceiVed here, no person having come
up from the "PoInt Of Woods" life
saving station, since Capt. Miller sent
the news Of the landing of the first
mate and nine Of the crew of the
steamer Nothing has been seen or
heard of the second boat containing
Capt. Calvin and the rest OF the crew.
1t is thought that they will probably
reach the beach at some
point further east. No story
Of the wreck has as yet been
obtained from the survivors, but 1t will
probably be told tonight. The
steamer evidently went down in deep
water as no sign Of her masts can be
seen with glass from the lighthouse
here. The sea is light and the wind
has not been blowing very hard. and
this gives rise to the hope that If Capt.
Calvin and his boats crew are still
aiioat they will reach the shore during
ths AM,
