Terrible Experiences at sea.
ST.. JOHNS, N. f., Oct. 12.-The steamer
| Anchoria, Captain Small, left Glasgow on
the 18Th OF September, bound for New
York. She had 700 souls on board, in
| Guiding passengers and crew. On sep.
TENDER %, four days after she had cleared
from Glasgow, q strong gale sprung up,
| during which a heavy sea struck the ship,
| and in a lurch which she made the shaft
| of the propeller was broken. At the time
of the accident she was reckoned about
/, 200 miles west Of Ireland. The shock
| occasioned By the breaking Of the shaft
threw the ship on her side. Many Of the
| passengers were frightened, but upon the
| officers assuring them that there was no
danger Of sinking a panic was averted,
and order restored in q short time. The
calls were set, and the ship became some
what steadier, but the rudder-gear having
been rendered useless she drifted about at
the mercy of the waves. From the 22nd
of September to October. 6, the ship
drifted helplessly about. Efforts in the
meantime were being made daily to repair
the broken shaft, On October 9th the
engineer effected a temporary repair, and
the sea was now comparatively smoo'n'
and the ship moved slowly in q western
direction. She made fairly good time
till midnight on Thursday, the 18th,
when the engines stopped sud
denly. Fears were entertained by the
passengers that the shaft had again broken,
but they were assured by the officers that
such was not the case, and that the en-
gines would be started in the morning.
At 10 o'clock on Friday the engines were
again started, and when the hundreds Of
anxious passengers on board heard the
propeller moving hopes were entertained
that the tedious voyage would soon be
over by reaching land, but these hopes were
soon not realized, for after Is revolutions
the shaft broke again-this time beyond
all prospect OF being repaired. A consul
tation was now held by the officers. and
the exact position OF the ship ascertained
II was found that she WAS 80 miles off the
coast of Newfoundland. AS provisions
were running short all on board were for
some DAYS previously put on an allowance
OF two meals per day. First Officer Mac
Farlane and seven others volunteered &c
launch a boat and make for the coast. The
boats crew manfully took their places
and the boat was lowered away. They
took on board q quantity of biscuit ir
tins and two casks of water. The sight Of
the brave fellows as the boat put from The
ships side affected many to tears, and
silent prayers were sent up for Their
safety. At first no word was spoken. but
