ST. JOINS, N. F., July 27.-The
schooner Barrett has put in here,
bringing the latest news from the
Labrador coast. For nearly two
weeks she was blockaded in York
harbor, forty miles east of Northeast
river, by field of ice. She brings
five families, who had reached that
point from Sandwich bay, over one
hundred miles inland, in sledges
drawn by ponies, on which they sub
sisted after their arrival. York aar-
Dor is crowded with tugitives, but
these came from the southern coast,
and know nothing of their northern
neighbors. On July 10th two
days snow storm buried Eastern
Labrador, cutting off all communica-
ton with its population of $4,000
persons. The snow has closed all
the trails. The relief vessels will
now go direct to York bay to re-
lieve first the sufferers there. A
White Bay despatch states that
whalers report that Hudson bay
strait is again frozen over, which is
an unprecedented occurrence at this
season. Up to date $40 survivors
have arrived here. The number
that has died is estimated at three
thousand five hundred. Since Sat-
urday an east wind has blown off
the Banks, increasing the firmness
of the coast ice.
