Four Ships and One Hundred and
Forty-Seven Men to the Bottom.

Particulars of the Storm Which Carried
Four Ships and One Hundred and
Forty-Seven Men to the Bottom.
LONDON, April 1.-Further particulars OF
the disastrous storm atApia haveiust been
received. The hurricane burst upon the
harbor suddenly. The German man-of-
war Eber was the first vessel to drag her
anchor. She became unmanageable, and
was driven hopelessly on the reef, which
runs around the harbor. She struck broad
side at 6 o'clock. The shock caused her to
lurch and to stagger back, and she sank in
a moment in deep water. Most Of her men
were under the matches, and scarcely a soul
OF them escaped.
The German war vessel Adler was the
next to succumb. She was lifted bodily
by a gigantic wave. and cast on her beam
ends on reef. A terrible struggle for life
ensued among the officers and sailors on
board. Many plunged into the raging surf
and struck, some reaching shore in safety;
others clung to the rigging until the masts
fell. OF those in the rigging
ONLY TWO GAINED SHORE.
The captain of the Adler and several other
officers were saved.
Meantime the q. 8. steamer Nipslc had
been dragging her anchors, and drifting
toward shore. The captain, however,
managed to keep control. and ran her On
| sand bar. Boats were Immediately low.

with the exception OF six men; these
were drowned by the capsiEing OF boat,
The United States steamship Vandalia
was carried before the gale right upon a
reef. She struck with terrible shock
hurting the captain against a Gatling gun
and he fell stunned. Before he could re-
/ cover, great wave swept the deck and
washed him and others into the sea. The
vessel sank so yards from the Nipsic, and
several of the officers and men went down
with her. Others perished while makins
desperate
EFFORTS TO SWIM TO SHORE.
Some OF the ships company tried to save
themselves by cIinging to the rigging. but
the heavy and swift-running waves dashed
over them and one by one they were swept
away.
By this time the night had set in. Many
natives and Europeans had gathered on
shore, all anxious to render assistance tc
the unfortunate crews, but owing to dark
ness they were wholly unable to be O
service.
Soon after the Vandalia had sunk the
American war ship Trenton broke from hel
anchorage, and was driven upon the wreck
of the Vandalia, whence she drifted te
shore. The bottom of the Trenton wal
completely stove in, and her hold half ful
of water.
