DETAIL ABOUT THE PASSENGERS.

Two well-known Clitheroe gentle
men, Mr.. w. Whip and Mr.. f.
Whip, were among the passengers.
The former, whose body was one Of
the first recovered, went to S. Africa
a year ago for the benefit of his
health, accompanied by his brother,
who was returning home on his
complete recovery. Neither gentle
man was married. The family have
information that both were drowned.
Amongst others in the Inflated liner
were also Mr.. j. Cornforth, son of
the late Mr.. Cornforth, shipowner,
w. Hartlepool, and Mr.. III. Wilson,
son of Councillor j. F. Wilson, also
a shipowner of that town, who join
ed the vessel at Las Palmas. On
the Drummond Castle was one fami-
ly party OF 16, named Peachey. At
their head was Mr.. Thos. Peachey, a
fine specimen OF a colonial pioneer,
who first settled in Natal in 1850,
and who had resided for many years
at Maitland Park, Tongaat. After
an absence from England of 46
years, he and his family and friends,
16 in all, left Natal on May 20, and
were to have been entertained in W.
Cornwall by an old friend and fellow
settler, Mr.. Millett, Of Lelant. The
Peacheys intended to have remained
in England 6 months. The disaster
brings bereavement to several Car
diff families. Among the passengers
we're Mr.. Gethim, Cardiff architect,
and his wife and family. Mrs.
Gethim was the daughter of Mr.. t.
Thompson, one of the directors of
the Barry Railway Co. The family
we're accompanied by a nurse and
governess, Mrs Gethim having been
in delicate health. Mr.. Thompson
and his family had gone to London
to meet Mrs. Gethim. Mr.. j. Way
man, first officer of the Drummond
Castle, resided at Talbotville, Bourne
mouth, having married and settled
in that town few years ago. He
leaves widow and children.

the company 10y persons having
relatives aud friends on board the
Inflated vessel, but all were kept
waiting while the announcement
was being prepared. One of the iu-
quirers was a sailor, who, with tears
streaming down his face, implored
the officials for news. But he, with
the others, was necessarily kept
waiting, hoping for contradiction
of the painful news, and yet dread
ing its confirmation, until past z
o'clock. Then an official of the
company came into the Office, and
was quickly surrounded by the
anxious crowd. In voice broken
with emotion he read the official
statement. The awful nature OF the
intelligence was fully realized, and
the scene was painful and heart
rending. Many of those present
completely broke down, and above
all was heard the lamentations of
the poor sailor for the loss of his
two brothers.
SIR DONALD cURRIE INTERVIEWED
Sir ID. Currie, in the course of an
interview, said the wrecked vessel
was not one of the company's
largest ships. 1t had been carrying
the Cape mails, but it had been
taken off for an intermediate trip, as
they found it could be spared. Con
tinuing his conversation, Sir Donald
explained that the captain was
named Pierce "He has BEEN" said
the chairman of the company, 1873
years in our service" He Joined the
firm in 1868 as an apprentice, and
he has been with us ever since. He
became officer and chief officer, and
then commander of another sailing
ship, and afterwards captain of the
ship he had been apprenticed in.
He was then transferred to one Of
our smaller steamers, and, finally,
was promoted to the one he has
now gone down in, poor fellow. The
chief mate, too, was first-rate man.
Indeed, there was not a man on
board I didn't know personally, and
they were all ffst.rate hands. 1t is
very sad, very sad" bemoaned the
kindly hearted chairman. "In all
the q years we have been sailing to
the Cape we have never lost q life
till now. We had an accident with
the Windsor Castle soon after we
started, but no life was lost; and
you see here" added the famous
chairman, with touch of very be-
coming pride in the smartness and
efficiency of his men in spite of this
sad calamity, although according
to the telegram she went down in
less than five minutes, they got three
boats out. | can't imagine how it
can have happened. You see we
have nothing but just these two or
three kilograms at present, but |
shall be at the Office quite early in
the morning ands anxious to give
every assistance and information in
my power. 1t is very distressing to
us all; / feel that / have lost per-
sonal fri ends in these poor fellows"
