Captain Among the Lost.

Lisbon. Oct. 20.-The bodies CT the VIC
tins Of the Roumania wreck are beng
washed ashore at Cape Carroeiro. Most
Of the bodies are in night attire, showing
that the unfortunates were aroused from
sleep only to encounter death In the ter

their families returning to India from visits

Lady Johnson, wife Of Sir Henry Johnson,
and daughter OF Thomas Dyson, Esq, OF
Bengal.
A dispatch received from the scene OF the
wreck says that Captain Young refused 20
leave the ROumania and perished with the
vessel. He showed extraordinary ccOihess
during the efforts to save the passengers
and was nobly seconded by the subordinate
officers. Some of the crew behaved III a
cowardy manner but most OF them 0beyed
orders faithfully
The British officers on board gave pre-.
cedence in all instances to the women ana
children when 1t came to question OF
rescue. Many of the passe lgers were

notice of danger and rushed from their
cabins without having time TO dress, while
during the excitement that followed there
was no opportunity.
The women and children were kept un'

out on deck and every effort made to pre-
