that appeared of this island on Monday
proves to be he British bark CaspAr, Of
swanses, Captain Roberts, The captain
and his crew had u very narrow escape
from death, They have reached the is-
land in safety, and their story, as told by
Captain Roberts, Is as follows; The OaspAr
sailed from Mifalnichi, N, B., on the Goth
OF October, laden with deals for Swansea,
Fire was discovered in the cargo

originated, the captain says, he has not

In the deck and volumes Of water poured
through them upon the blazing masses OF

tinguish the flames was vain, Then every
aperture was closed, and As fully as pos
sible all air was excluded from what had
now become literally q furnace. Still the
fire ragged, gaining in volume, to the im-
minent peril Of all on board, Finally the
flames burst their bounds, eating their
way through the decks and running with
great rapidity through the rigging, uatil
the vessel was a mass OF flame.
To add to The horror Of the occasion,
there was prevailing a southeast. gale that
tossed the burning vessel about upon the
waves that were mounting high. To re-
main upon the ship was certain death,
To leave her in the long boat, the only
alternate, was to brave q late almost as
certain. u seemed but turning from the
devouriug flames to the dev0uring sea.
Captain Rlberts had sighted land about
twenty miles distant, and 1t was resolved
to trust 10 the mercy OF the wayea, Into
the long boat went the thirteen lpen,
eager ioI lite, aud lerVed by their desire TO
live for an almost hopeless struggle with
the angry waves, The tiny craft with It's
living freight was butleted by the raging
seas through twelve long hours, and every
