THE SINKING OF THE ONEIDA.
How the 1nhumanity of a British Captain
Cost q Jolly Ships Crew.

How the lnhumanity of British Captain
Cost Jolly Ships Crew.
One of the most extraordinary catastro-
phes that have befallen vessels of the United
States Navy destroyed the sloop of war
Oneida in 1869. She was bound homeward
with jolly ships company, eager to see
wives and sweethearts and native land once
more, when, not far out of port, she was struck
by the British steamer Bombay, coming in.
The stem of the Bombay cut the stern of
the Oneida clear of and left gaping chasm
into which the water rushed The ship was
sinking rapidly, and guns. of distress
were Immediately fired; but the Bombay,
instead of rendering assistance-the disas-
ter occurred at night-steamed on her way,
and left the unhappy vessel to meet her
doom. She went down presently, and all
were drowned but one or two of her crew.
The Captain of the Bombay gave no other
reason for his cruel conduct than that he
had Lady Eyre, the wife Of distinguished
British satrap, on board, and did not wish
to disturb her nerves with scenes of ship
wreck. He was mobbed when he reached
Yokohoma, dismissed from the service, soci-
ally tabooed from that time on, and died in
disgrace year or two later.
