loaded with bri:k, line and sawmill ap-
parstus. She left Norfolk on the 18th INST =,
and was off the mouth Of Pamlico river
the following Wednesday where she en-
oountercd the tquinoctial storm. The
first accident was the tearing away OF the
rudder which at once left her almost COM
pletely at the mercy Of the waves.
Besides the captain, there were only
three others TO man the now uncontrol-
able boat. 1t was undertaken to make
Pam leo river, but tic weather was too
heavy to accomplish much. Not being
able to handle her, the spar vas blown
overheard and the yawl boat carried
away. All Wednesday night and Thurs
day the waves were battled with without
any abatement in the severity Of the
storm. AT II ;ht the vessel showed signs
of s:raining ard began to leak The pumps
were put to work ard were kept gong all
night and the next day and night. FRIDAY
evening the steamer Manteo of the Old
Dominion line VAS sighted bat too far of
to signal Saturday morning the captain
let go anchor with hopes of drifting to
shore. There was then six feet Of water
IN her hold and it was evident that she
must soon go down. The schooner Char.
les Lister and the steamer Vesper Of the
4. {, ID line were spoken, but the higi
sea that was running rendered it impos-
Slble for them to give airy assistance. The
boat was now fast sinking, compelling all
on board to take to the rigging. At this
junctnrc q tremendous sea broke over
her causing 4 lurch that threw them al
into the water. The captain and negro
man were the only ones thai could SWIM
! They each, with great undertaking as to
their own safety, helped the two Others
back to the rigging where they Climb

to the bleak winds. In this petilous con

Killed IN Rls racks.
(Eews-ObServer, 26th.)

Parties in this city yesterday from
Franklinton brought meas of fatal oc-
currence near that place. A warrant had
been placed in the hands Of an officer for
a noted negro named Lyon who had been
in the penitentiary several times and who
was wanted for some new crime. Lyon
had sworn that he would not be taken
and the officer who went to arrest him
took posse of seven men with him.
When the negro was approached he pre-
sented pistol and said he would die be-
fore he would be taken. The officers re-
monstrated with him but finding that of
no avail fired and shot him dead IN his
tracks.
