SWALLOWED BY ANGRY WAVES.

A Norwegian Bark Wrecked on the VIZ

NORFOLK, Va, March 2S.-Thc Nor
vegian bark Dictator, from Pensacola,
Fla, to West IIartlepool, Eng, laden
with pine lumber, with crew OF tit
teen and the captains young wife ana
little boy of years came ashore IN
strong eastcrly gale Friday morn
ing four miles south of Cape
Henry and two miles north OF VIZ
ginia Beach hotel. Full crews from
two life-saving stations were promptly
on hand and began firing lines to the
Inflated bark. The guns could not de-
liver the lines so far, though they were
repeatedly fired The ship finally sue
cecded in getting Il line ashore tied to
a barrel, which the surf carried to the
life-savcrs. The breechcs buoy was
quickly rugged and sent to the vessel, but
unfortunately the bark's crew was ig-
norant of it's use, and the rescue was
delayed until Capt. Drinlwater, OF the
life-saving station. wrote instructions,
put them in a bottle and sent it to the
Dictator by the line connecting the YES
sci with the shore. The first man
was delivered ashore in eight min
utes and seven others were res
cued before sunset. During the en-
tire day the ship rolled and pitched
terribly and made the work of
rescuing the unhappy sailors exceeding
ly difficult. At nightfall there were
still nine persons on the bark and
among the number the captain, his
wife and little child. The captain had
urged his wife all during the day to
take the buoy and come ashore,
but she steadily refused, as she
would not leave her husband and
child, and only one could take the
buoy at a time. The bark went to
pieces Friday night and the seven that
remained on her have been lost, in
Guiding the wife of the captain. The
captain, just before the ship went to
pieces. sprang into the sea with his son
strapped to his back and reached the
shore alive, but the boy was lost,
making a total loss of eight lives.
The Dictator was trying to make
Hampton roads, having been disabled
by hurricanes since the 18th inst. All
that could be gathered from the half
dead sailors as to the cause of the
stranding of the vessel was that they
did not know where they We're, the
sun not having been seen for four days
and the weather so thick that they
struck the breakers before they could
see the coast. The lifc-Sayers worked
all day with great hcroiSm.

the latter of which it was 81 in the
thousand. In 10 out of IA years from
1857 to 1870 it was over 40. If the re-
