Cause of the Disaster at Apia.

The details of the disaster at Apia, re-
ported from San Francisco by members of
the crews of the vessels wrecked in the
hurricane of March 16 and II, must modify
to some extent the conclusions drawn from
the outline of events Fl st cabled from Auck-
land. For several days before Friday. the
10th, the barometer had been falling steadi-
ly at Apla. On the afternoon of that day
the wind, attended by rain ia torrents,
began to blow and continued with increas-
ing violence till Sunday morning. Fore
warned, the warships in the harbor all had
fnll head of steam on and anchors out -
Every precaution that the known insecurity
of the situation could suggest appears to
have been taken. The wind, however,
shifted constantly from northeast to north
west, and blowing from the open sea into
the ha. Dor forced the ships from their
anchOrages upon reefs. Most of them were
wrecked upon an inner reef lying from 200
to 400 yards off shore. The smal!ness of
the harbor and the violent currents pro.
duced by the inflow of flooded rivers added
to the tficuIty of maneuveriug. What
made the German and American ships
powerless to withstand the gale and escape,
appears, however, to have been the weak.
ness of their machinery. There was NO
lack Of coal, as has been supposed. All
had coal supplies adequate to the occasion,
had their boilers aud engines been of q
character to sustain them fairly in strug
gle against the wind. This is clearly sug
gested by the achievement of the Calliope.
The English vessel, as soon as it became
apparent that her anchors were not going
TO keep her from drifting upon the reef. let
her anchors 90, and, facing the wind,
steamed out of the hsrbor into he open
SEA-, where STE was safe. The CalliOpe
was exposed to dangers not less formidable
than those threatening the rest She was,

the Ger man vessels, the Ebar aud AID or

the wrecked ships, both during and after
The storm, is beyond all praise. Every eff
fort was made by them TO rescue the men
struggling with tie waves, and they gave
the same attention to the Germans, with
whom they are at odds, as to the Ameri-
cans. their friends and protectors. Their
conduct should go far to mitigate the wra b
