never reported, as there is no law requiring

Fate of the Schooner Unknown.
New York. March 15.-The famous
Cunard steamer Oregon, with 500 souls
on board, was struck by the three
nasted schooner Fannie A. Gorham a t3:45
Sunday morning, while proceeding under a
JUL head OF steam, twenty-five miles
southeast of Watch Hill, near Center
Moriches, L. l. Three holes were stove
n the Oregon's side, one almost
twenty feet square and the others smaller
III dimension. The vessels driited apart,
and in the darkness the people on board
the Oregon heard the despairing cries OF
the crew on the schooner as she settled and
sank. 1t is supposetS all on board the
schooner were lost. The Oregon also be-
gan to 1il and her engines soon ceased to
work, for her third compartment was open
to the water. AS day dawned pilot. boat No.
II from thisc city was sighted, and signals
OF distress were Immediately hoisted on the
Oregon. The pilot-boat ran to her assist
ance, and the schooner Elsie Graham was
also attracted TO the scene. 1t was broad
daylight when they got alongside, and the
work OF transferring the passengers was
immediately begun. This was not COM
pleted until l1:3o O'Clock, Captain ottier,
oithe Oregon, being the last to leave his
vessel. Not IL life was lost nor a person in
lured, and some OF the mail, OF which there
were 500 bags, was saved and landed on
the pilot boat. When this had been nearly
all done the steamer Fulda of the Bremen
line hove in sight, joined the two rescuinr
vessels, and took all the 500 people of the
Oregon on board. The Cunard vessel was
then drifting hopelessly about in
the sea, with all her cargo
and the baggage OF the passengers
and crew on board, when suddenly
at 100 yesterday afternoon, she Went
down head first with a great noise, and the
fuld' then proceeded to this port. The

morning. Third Officer Taylor, of the Ora,
