dispatch was from Captain Rice of the
bark Havana a sister ship of the Long,
which arrived at Havana yesterday. In
the message Captain Rice stated that the
Long had been struck by lightning near
the Bahama Islands and destroyed; that
Captain Horny Rolf, master of the Long;
Charles Essperg. first mate, and two sea-
men had been killed, and that the re-
mainder of the crew had been taken off
Gun Cay Island by the Havana Gun Cay
Island is small coral islet among the
Bahamas. 1t is supposed that Captain
Rolf and the other men were killed by
the stroke of lightning that destroyed the
ship, and that the others of the crew took
the boats and landed on the island

and child. Charles Essperg, who was
killed, was first mate; w. Stanley, second
mate, and l.. Iverson, steward of the

The crew of the British ship Wynnstah,
which arrived here from Calcutta today
with II, 755 bales of jute aboard consigned
to Edwin FL. Fitler & Co., cordage manu-
facturers, had an exciting experience on
their voyage. On April 25, while being
bowled along by the trade winds between
ST. Helena and Acension Island, fire was
discovered ON the starboard side under
meath the cabin. The only way the fire
through the deck and cabin floor 1t re-
quired forty eight hours work to get the
fire under control, and at times the crew
were almost in despair, but to have
abandoned the ship and taken to the boats
would have been to have met almost
certain death, as the vessel at the time
was out of the beaten track of ships. 1t
is thought that q the cargo was badly
damaged by fire and water, but it will
be impossible to estimate the damage un-
til the ship is discharged. :,
