do all that could be done in the morning.
However, the wreck was in such a shalky
condition that those on board of it be-
lieved it could not hold together until the
morning. With nothing to eat for the
forty-eight hours preceding, exhausted
and starving, they lashed themselves
again in the rigging, and TO their great
surprise found the wreck still holding to-
gether at daylight on Wednesday morn
ing, and the City of Birmingham at an
chor only few miles away.
SENT HIS LIFE BOATS.
Capt Berg sent two lifeboats to the
Savannah at daybreak and on the first
trip brought away all the passengers.
Returning again both boats carried
away all Of the officers and crew.
One of the boats was in command
of the first officer and the other Of the
second 1t took skillful seamanship to
transfer the men, but the task was ac-
complished without the slightest acci-
dent Of any kind.
Mr. Connell reached the City of Bir-
mingham about 1 O'Clock, half starved,
but grateful. He was the only passenger
of the Savannah that saved his travelling
bag. 1t being on deck, floating around in
the water, Capt. Savage threw it in ths
boat after him. Mr. Connell also saved
Balzacs Comedy of Life"
THE LAST TO LEAVE THE SHIP.
Capt. Savage was the last man to leave
the wreck of the Savannah, and he took
leave Of the good old ship with sorrow.
In the last boat white cat, with one
blue eye and one brown eye was brought
over. Capt. Savage took with him his
chronometer and sextant, which were
close at hand 1t was about - o'clock
when the Birmingham hoisted her am
chors and sailed for Savannah, with
thirty-eight men from the Savannah and
a shipwrecked crew of eight picked up
before reaching st. Helena Island
Mr. Connell spoke in terms of the high
est praise of the conduct of Captain Saw
age and his crew during the ordeal
through which they passed They worked
as mortals never worked before for three
days and three nights, with scarcely any
thing to eat, without a murmur of com.
plant. There was no panic of any kind
among the passengers, and even when the
Savannah struck with crash the mem
bers of the crew were stolid and stood at
their posts awaiting orders from
their captain Mr. Connell is
warm in his praise of the heroic conduct
of Capt. Burg and the rescuing party
from the Birmingham. Even after all
the rescued were safe on board, the officers
of the Birmingham furnished them with
clothes. No baggage was saved from
the wreck of the Savannah, with the ex-
ception OF Mr.. Connelrs grip. Mr. Con-
nell is now at the Pulaski House and
was kept busy last night receiving the
congratulations of his friends

so much affected by the excitement and
exertions he had undergone that he was
almost deranged and had not recovered his
mental equilibrium last night
MIR. Barrows tells a most graphic story
of his experiences in the wreck, as does
also Or. Todd They said that all hope
was given up by the passengers, and hat
they had no idea of ever seeing land
again
PRAISE FOR CAPT. SAVAGE.
All the gentlemen named testified unan-
imously to the bravery and good judg-
ment of Capt, Savage.
1T IS to Capt Savagethat we owe our
lives, " said Mr.. Barrows "Had it not
been for him we would not have been here
now. The confidence with which he in
spired us was remarkable, and prevented
anything like a panic. The conduct of
the crew was very creditable throughout" &"
They also spoke very highly of Capt
Burg's conduct and the kindness of the
passengers and crew of the Birmingham.
DR.. Todd was as hearty and jovial
when seen at the De Soto last night
as if he had never heard of a shipwreck.
How did you like your trip" he was
asked.
well, if you think it is any fun being
tied up in a ships rigging forty-eight
hours in a storm with nothing to eat but
raw turnips and no water to drink, you
had better try it at once"
THE INSURANCE UNKNOWN.
1t was impossible to get the estimated
valuation of the steamer or the amount
Of insurance on the vessel and cargo.
Agent Anderson telegraphed Gen. Sorrel
last night to get the information, but up
to late hour had not received a reply
According to Capt Savage's descrip-
tion the steamship is total loss 1t is
possible that some of her cargo may be
recovered, but it will be in badly dam
aged condition. All her deck work was
gone when the vessel was deserted and
her hold was filled with water. Whether
there were any holes in her bottom
could not be told.
An examination by experts will be
made as soon as possible to ascertain her
exact condition
The value of the City of Savannah
could not have been less than $3.50, 900 and
her cargo probably half that amount.

SEEMED LIKE A sIMooN.
A Succession Of Storms AlIsthe Way
From Boston.

DR.. John Macdonald, of the marine
hospital service in Boston, and MIR.
George Darlow, a bicycle manufacturer
of Boston, two of the passengers on the
ill-fated ship, came up to the Pulaski
house rs soon as the Birmingham had
landed at her dock. They were seen by a
MORNING News reporter in their room
last night and gave a detailed account of
the terrible hardships of the passengers
and crew.
ave had a succession of storms, said
Mr.. Macdonald, striking southern
gale from the start. In fact the gales
were so heavy outside Boston just after
leaving that at supper that night only
four of the passengers could come
down. The gales continued
during the entire voyage until Sunday
morning about II o'clock, when the City
of Savannah struck the cyclone ITSELF
Mr. Macdonald said it seemed to him
like simeon Most of the passengers
who were about as sick as they ever get
to be, remained in their staterooms Only
three or four were in the cabin.
THE CABIN DOORS SMASHED.
The ship sailed along all right until
between and z o'clock Sunday night,
when the waves dashed against the cabin
on the starboard side with such terrific
force as TO break away doors and shut
ters from their hinges. Then it was that
the water began to pour through and
everybody on board realized that they
were in imminent danger.
All hands, passengers and crew, at least
all of them who were able to help, began
bailing out the water, which poured into
the cabin on the starboard side in immense
quantities. The hold of the vessel for
tunately did not take any water until
after the vessel had been thrown upon the
shoals, but it was all they could do up to
that time to keep it bailed out of the
cabin.
Thus working and hoping that they
could in some way save their lives, and
perhaps the ship, they kept this up until
after midnight.
THE sMoKEsTACK CARRIED AWAY.
Sunday morning between 10 and 1
o'clock said Mr. Macdonald, ga terrific
wave struck the vessel, carrying away
her smokestack and steam pipes, which
were broken off even with the boiler The
passengers and the crew who were in
the cabin bailing out the water knew
nothing Of this for sometime afterwards
They heard the steam escaping and knew
that some accident had happenea, but just
what it was they could not tell They
kept on with their work bravely,
using every effort and doing all they
could to keep the ship afioat
''The engineer made a wooden plug
for the steam pipe, but it took so long
to fix it that almost all the steam had es-
capped from the boiler before he could
stop it. Every wave that crossed the
vessel poured down these openings,
struck the boiler and put out the fires.
The passengers realized that the north
east sea was heaving the ship to the
southwark, and that the wind was blow
ing her in to the shore. The engines
were kept going, however, for sometime
after the smokestack had been taken

Or Voter.
A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
The Vessel a Total
Loss.

The steamship City of Savannah is a
total wreck on Hunting Island breakers
off the South Carolina coast Not sin
gle life was lost. Part of the pas
sengers and crew reached here on the City
of Birmingham last night.
Twelve more, including the women
and children, are at Coffin Point
or St. Helena by the Sea, where
they were landed by the lifeboats
when there was no hope of rescue and the
destruction of the ship appeared certain.
The male passengers and crew were in
an exhausted condition when rescued by
the City of Birmingham, having been
iorty-eight hours almost without food
and water clinging to the wreck and
about half that time lashed to the rigging.
WENT ASHORE MONDAY.

reached shore by the life boats next day
