How the Borough Belle Was Lost,
and How Her Crew Survived
to Tell the Tale.

On the steamer Monowai, which arrived
here Friday, was one Of the crew Of the
brigan tine Borough Belle, which vessel he
reports as having been wrecked on the
Ballona shoals in the Chesterfield group
of islands on the 30th of January.
The news of the wreck reached Bris-
bane, Australia, on the 18th OF February.
The vessel was trader, running between
Sydney and the Solomon Islands.
She carried crew of thirteen, including
the captain, which fact, it is alleged by
her superstitous sailors, probably ac-
counted for her i'll luck.
Sailor TraynOr says that he was, to-
gether with his shipmates, seventeen days
IN an open boat, but that no one suffered
from hunger or thirst until the last two
days of the voyage. Then the water gave
out and the men suffered considerably
from thirst.
Traynor stated that on Friday. January
26 the vessel was lying 10 under short
ened sail when the wind swooped down on
her with terrific force, compelling Captain
Williams to order all canvas taken in and
an anchor let go.
On the following day the violence of the
storm had not abated, so the bow anchor
was dropped to keep the ships head TO the
seas.
By evening the Belle was laboring and
wallowiDg so badly that the foremast had
to be cut away.
Ou the 1st of February or the last day of
January Captain Williams. noticing that
the Belle was drifting rapidly toward a
reef, ordered several sails set and tried to
force the vessel over the outer reef and
into smooth water.
The brigantine dashed at the long line
of surf ana crushed MO the coral.
A wave lifted her and carried her over
the outer reef, then dropped her with a
crash on a ledge of ROCK, where she re-
mained fixed. Ihe crew deserted the ves-
sci a few days later and tried TO make
Queenstown.
There were about six Europeans and six
Kanakas In the crew. tile latter behaving
remarkably well under the circumstances,
working hard ana doing no grumbling.
The ships boat in wnich the escape
from the wreck was made was we'll pro-
visioned with canned goods and sea bis
cult. The water supply was limited, how
ever. and gave out as mentioned.
A Landing was finally made at a town
called Mackay, and the wants of the men
were Immediately attended 10.
The loss of the Borough Belle is news to
San Francisco. no word of the disaster
having been received here.
