OF THE LOST.
London. March s1.-Further particulars Of the
disastrous storm at Apia have just been received.
The hurricane burst upon the harbor suddenly.
The German man-of-war Eber was the first YES
seTto drag her anchor. She became unmanageable
and was driven helplessIy on the reef which runs
around the harbor. She struck broadside on, at
8 o'clock in the morning
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 matches, and scarcely
a soul Of them escaped.
The German war-ship Adler was the next to suo-
cunb. She was lifted bodily by gigantic wave
and cast on her beam-ends on the reef
A terrible struggle for life ensued among the
officers and sailors aboard. Many plunged into
the raging surf and struck out some reaching the
shore in safety. Others clung to the rigging until
the masts fell. OF these two gained the shore
safely The captain of the Adler and several
other officers were saved
In the meantime the United States war-ship
Nipsic had been dragging her anchors and drifting
toward the shore The captain, however, man
aged to keep control and ran her on a sandbank,
Boats were Immediately lowered, and the whole
company were saved, with the exception Of six
men, who were drowned by the capsizing Of boat
The United States vessel vandalia was carried
before the gale right upon the reef. She struck
with terrible shock, and the captain was hurkd
against Gatling gun and stunned.
Before he could recover a great sea swept the
deck and washed him away. The vessel sank
and men were washed overheard and drowned
Others perished while making desperate efforts
to swim 10 the shore -.
Some remained for hours elnging to the rigging
but heavy waves dashed increasingly over them,
and one by one they were swept away.
BY this time night had set in Many natives
and Europeans had gathered on the shore, and az
were anxious TO render assistance to the wrecked
vessels and their unfortunate crews, but, darkness
having fallen on the scene, they were wholly mn
able 70 be of service.
Soon after the Vandalis had sunk, the American.
wsr-ship Trenton broke from her anchorage and
was driven upon the wreck Of the Yandalia,
whence she drifted TO the shore. The bottom Of
tho Trenton was completely stove and her hold
was halEfull OF water.
As morning broke the German msn-of-war Olga,
which had hitherto brayely withstood the gale

TO which the latter country lays claim and IL may be
that the United states win be called upon 20 uphold
