SAD TRAGEDY.

1t is sad tragedy, one that I ear
nestly hope l shall never witness
again Had il been possible TO rur
into Victoria aud left word there that
the Strathnevis should be looked for
on the rocks away below Cape Flat
terry, without having 10 lie off the
coast until the gale went down, Capt.
Stott would have done 20. But 10
wait for twenty-fOur hours before
steamiDg iuto port would have been
utterly useless-like going for doctor
after the patient had died. While the
chances are nineteen to twenty that
the Strathnevis has either foundered
or gone TO pieces on the rocks, there is
the twentieth chance that she may
have been blown behind some small
island or into some bay where she
could anchor and send her boats
ashore.

our way up the coast towards Cape
Flsttery. The captain aud officers
have abandoned all hope that the
missing vessel is still aflost, or if
afloat that she can be saved. Even
should we come across her now, we
could not take her crew Oft, the sea is
so wild.

not drop. This is the worst weather
the Mowers has ever experienced in
these waters. We have had breakfast,
the day is clearing, and | hear that we
are going to make another search for
the missing steamer. | have just got
back TO my seat, having been shot
under NV berth by terrific lurch of
the vessel. BY the noise in the cooks
galley / fancy that there has been a
grand sma-h of tue crochery. The
topic of conversation
amongst the passengers Is the possi-
bility of catching up with the Strath-
nevis and taking off the passengers
and crew before she goes on the rocks
which is, to say the least, very
forlorn hope unless the wind and sea
go down, for no small boat could pos
sibly approach one of these steamers
being smashed to spliuters
against the hull.

A DESPERATE CONDITION.

Tuesday Morning. 1t was some
time after We had altered our course
yesterday before / knew the reason
why we are now on our course for
Honolulu instead of Victoria. When
the captain set the vessels course for
Cape Flsttery he wss met with such
tremendous seas that there was dam
ger OF the Miowera going under. Tons
of water washed over the decks, going
through the broken skylights down
into the engine room, where the fires
were in danger OF being eXtinguished.
In addition to that the vessel was
making such leeway that, even
though she weathered the gale, there
was every danger of running her on
the rocks at Cape Flattery. There
was no alternative left but 70 head the
Miowera out II sea again under slow
steam, which was done accordingly
when the first opportunity 10 change
our course safely occurred. 1t WAS an
immediate relief 10 the vessel. The
horrible racing OF the propeller was
eased, though we were driving in the
teeth of wind that whipped the tops
off the waves and drove them against
the upper deck with q noise like
thunder. l remained in the smoking
room until about 80 pm, fearing 10
risk trip to the saloon door. Finally
