READ LIKE TALES OF PIRACY OF
A CENTURY AGO.
Mariposa Sufferers Immediately
Pounced Upon by Gang of
Thieves-The Vessel Will Be Il To-
tai Loss.

MONTREAL, Quebec, Sept. 29.-The
stories told by the shipwrecked crew
of the steamship Mariposa. who were
brought up from the strait of Belle
Isle by the steamship Austrian, read
more like the tales of piracy of a CEN
tury ago, than of present day Incl
dent. A storm was raging when the
big Dominion liner struck on the jag
ged rocks of Point Amour, at o'clock
on the morning of Thursday, Septem-
Der "a The saloon passengers were
landed on the rocks as soon as practi-
cable. along with their baggage. The
steamer had not been aground but few
hours before a, band Of Belle Isle pi-
rates made their appearance. They
first paid attention to the baggage of
the saloon passengers, which they fore
IDLY seized and carried some distance
inland.
II. M. S. Buzzard, of the NeWfound-
land patrol service, however, fortu
nately happened along, and a party of
blue jackets started in pursuit. The
pirates were taken unawares around
camp fire. One fellow had donned the
uniform of Captain Casgrain, Of the
Royal Engineers, a young Canadian
returning to rejoin his regiment. All
the baggage was recovered, ana the pl-
rates warned away The Mariposa
will be a total loss, but most of the
live stock and some of her cargo will
be saved.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 29.-The
English cruiser Buzzard arrived this
morning from the wreck of the
steamer Mariposa. near Forteau straits
of Belle Isle. She came to arrange far
the dispatch of steamers to discharge
the cargo. Other steamers are ar
ranging to go. The Mariposa went
ashore on Tuesday morning, four
hours before daybreak, with a thick
fog prevailing. When it was light
enough to see to land passengers, the
sea was too rough to send
them by the boats. and the
crew had to send life lines
ashore, and rig breeches buoy to
fasten the passengers to, and thus send
them to land one at a time. Two wo-
men tainted before going, and several
others while making the trip. All We're
taken on board the Allen line steamer
Sardinia, and conveyed 10 Montreal
next day. The ship was t.3tal wreck,
and her whole bottom Yves DESTROYED
by being forced over the rocks when
she struck. Fishermen are trying to
save as much salvage rs possible.
