A dispatch was received at Copen-
hagen on the 21st from Lisbon to the
United Steamship Company announced
the safety of the crew and passengers of
the steamer Danmark. The good It'd
ings reached Lisbon from the Azores.
1t is stated that everyone who was on
the Danmark is safe and that only an
engineer was injured. Some Of the
passengers arrived at Lisbon the same
day, number are on their way to New
York and the remainder are still at the
Azores.
The Lisbon dispatch was as follows:
Forty-two of the crew of the Danmark
arrived here to-day on the steamer
Acor. Mr.. Raben, the first officer, who
is among them, reports that on April 4
the Danmark's shaft was broken. On
the steamship Missouri, from London
March %, for Philadelphia and Baltl-
more. The Missouri lowed the Dan
mark until the 9Th, when the latter was
about TO sink. At first the Missouri was
only able to take aboard twenty of the
Danmark's passengers, but after having
jettlsoned portion of her cargo she
found accommodation for all the crew
and passengers of the Danmark. The
Missouri then proceeded to the
Azores and left there the first
and second officers and 800 pas
sengers. She then continued her Jour
ney to Philadelphia with $40 passen-
gers and the remainder of the crew.
The captain and three engineers of the
Danmark left the Azores on the 18th for
London. The Danmark was about 800
miles from Newfoundland when the &C.
cident happened. The engines broke
down. Engineer Kaas was found dead
10 the englne-room after the accident.
The captain and three engineers pro-
ceeded 10 London on board a steamer
from Demarara. Forty-two sailors and
ali of the passengers left at the a zores
by the Missouri came to Lisbon on the
steamship Acor. The death of the Dan
marks engineer was due to the bursting
of an engine pipe. The engineer was
killed on the spot and the ship was bad
ly damaged. In consequence of this
damage, together with the breaking of
the shaft, the vessel was helpless in the
heavy seas that prevailed.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 21.-The
steamship Missouri, which is now
known to have $40 Of the Danmark's
passengers on board, has been watched
for here for several days past, she being
due about seven days ago, and the hope
that she would know something of the
Danmark has been realized. The Mis-
souri, is a new steel vessel be-
longing to the Atlantic Transport
Line, and has only crossed the
ocean few times. She is described
as being one of the finest and best
built boats carrying the English flag.
She is commanded by Capt Murrel1,
who has been trading between Phila-
delphia and London for the past six
years. She sailed from London March
rs, with general cargo consigned to
Peter Wright & Sons. The Missouri, it
is said, could make the run from the
Azores to the Delaware capes without
difficulty in ten days, but as she is like
ly to be short of provisions and coal, the
opinion is expressed that the captain
will put into a nearer port, possibly
Boston Or New York.
DELAWARE BREAKwATER, Del, April %
i A. M.-The steamship Missouri, from
London, has just arrived. 1t is suppos-
ed she has large number of the pas
sengers of the Inflated Danmark. The
Misso uri is anchored distance of from
three to four miles from this station.
The sea is too rough to admit of board
ing the steamer before daylight with
small boat.
