Details of the Foundering of a
British Warship.

majesty's steamer Emerald arrived here
to-day with the survivors of the wrecked
warship Lily. First Lieutenant Hewitt
gives the following story of the disaster:
The Lily went ashore Sept. 16 at 8
O'Clock in the afternoon at place called
Point Armour, FOrteau bay, on the
coast of Labrador. She was bound into
FOrteau bay for her mails. At the time
a very thick fog prevailed. and
suddenly, without the least warn
ing. the ship struck the rocks
with great force. Breakers could

GERS did not know exactly what they
had struck. The ship commenced TO
pound heavily and make water rapidly,
and three of the boats were lowered and
started for the shore. but owing to the
heavy surf they capsized when close in.
throwing the occupants all into the wa
ter. All but two reached shore. One
of the sailors then swan ashore with a
line and by this means a hawser was
got to land. Between the ship and the
beach ledge of sharp rocks intervened
with very deep water between the rocks
and the shore, and over this ledge,
which turned out to be a perfect death
trap, hawSeT was passed. Four of the
crew attempted to climb ashore by
means of this rope, but they
were dashed TO death On the rocks
beneath. Finding 1t impossible to
land safely by this means cradle was
arranged on the haWSer. / he first man
to be sent from the ship in it was a
West Indian named Seatey, who acted
as musician Oh board. He met the same

being found in the cradle next day. FL
nally, in response TO distress signals, a
number of men came from Point Ar
and with their help the remainder of
those on board managed to reach shore
in safety about O'Clock this morning.
Shortly after the upSetting of the boats,
when it was seen how unsafe ii was to
land the cutter, with the ships paper
money, ETC.. was sent out to sea i'm
charge of an officer and remained there
all night landing safely in FOrteau
bay next morning. When the fog lifted
it was found that the Lily had
struck reef about 100 yards from
shore. On the Sunday before there had
been a heavy blow, and this caused
very heavy swell to set in, and this
pounded the bottom out of the ship.
With the help of the Emerald's men the
wreck was stripped OF all her sparS,
sails and rigging, nothing being left
but the lower mast. All the small arms
were saved. On the Thursday follow
ing the Dominion steamer La Canadi-
enne came along, and it was by her that
the news was sent to BOnne Bay to be
cabled to the admiralty at Halifax.
When the Emerald left the scene last
Saturday the Lily was lying ON her star
water. Her bottom is completely bat
tered out and water is up to the upper
deck. Her three heavy guns were left
on board, 1t being impossible to land
them. OF the lost six were blue-jackets,
including one cOlOred man, and one was

The grounds on which the decision was

to the list of names from which the
jurors were selected; irregularity in
making up the lists in the different
towns, villages and city wards of the
county and delegating the choice of
