, THRILLING STORY

OF the Loss OF q British Steamer In h
Black Sea---Only Four Of the Crew Of
Twenty-Five Survive.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1O.-There has
reached this city through a private
channel the thrilling story of the loss of
the British steamship Westburne in the
Black sea. OF the vessels crew Of
twenty-five four are all that survive the
ill-starred voyage and these are misera-
BILE wrecks of humanity, lying Frustrated
by suffering in an Odessa hospital under
the care of the British consul.
The Westburne, an ordinary tramp
steamship, left the Odosia, southeast
of Crimea, Nov. "A, laden with linseed,
bound to Dunkirk and thence to Phila.
delphia with a general cargo. On the
evening of her departure a gale peculiar
to the Black sea alone arose. The
weather grew 80 intensely cold that the

called them. Every sea that swept over
the vessel froze to her, making her slug

bic. When the water gained entrance
to the hold the cargo began to swell
and burst open the decks fore and aft
as though powder had exploded
in the interior. About midnight, al
though only a few hours out Of port,
| the vessel began to go down. Already
the corpses Of a number of the seamen
were visible about the deck, standing
up against the handrails just as erect as
though in full vigor. They were frozen
as hard as iron.
With all the crew that held fast to
their lives, Capt. Bennington put out in
q small boat and headed her back to the
Odosia, distant then some fifty miles.
During the early morning the men
Died OF One by One
until On reaching the Odesia the follow
ing night the number was reduced to
eight. Subsequently four more died
while undergoing medical treatment,
leaving but four survivors.
Capt. Bennington, the commander Of
the Westburne, is well known to Phila.
delphia shipping men. He is completely
Frustrated by his sufferings in the open
boat and by the death of his brother, the
ships chief officer, who persisted of the
awful cold before his ewes.

the contents on Rolland's head and
whiskers. A match was then applied
and in a trice the unfortunate halfbreed
was enveloped in flames. But for timely

FIGHTING It Out in Ireland.

LONDON, Dec. 1O.-The war is now
transferred from parliament to Ireland,
and the leaders of both parties are in
haste to have a word with their constit-
uencies. Parnell is as intiexible as ever,
and his supporters say that not a step
will be taken by him toward any COM
promise or arrangement. 1t is stated on
semi-oficial authority that the govern
ment does not contemplate coming to
an understanding with Mr.. Parnell.
After the passage of the land purchase,
tithes and other bills, parliament will
probably dissolve and go to the country
again on the issue CT maintaining the

The resolution, which was proposed
by Timothy Healey and seconded by

Parnellites Anxious for n Test.
The Parnellites, it is understood, are

stated on the alleged authority of limo

to bring about a sober and

Mr.. Parnell's cause would lose instead
of gain with the progress of time, and
that the next general elections would
see him deader than Isaac Butt. Par
