Liverpool ran ashore on a reef, near South
Stack, In dense fog: but she was subse.
quently foated and steamed here.
When the steamer first grounded, two
life boats We're sent to her assistance, but
the rising tide floated her. The forty pas
sengers who were on board Of her have
arrived here, and. have taken trains for
tEeir respective destinations.
The Cephalonia had a very rough pas
sage. Everything went well however un-

fhe passengers rushed on deck In alarm
the boats were lowered Immediately and all
the women and children were placed in
them. When the women and children had
Been cared for, the pther passengers were
allowed to enter the boats but an examine
ton of the steamer showed that while her
after part was badly damaged, she was not
making SO much water as to prevent her
from proceeding under steam. Therefore as
Hoiyhead was at no great distance from the
spot where she was grounded, SO soon as the
Cephaionia foated on the high tide, at 9
o'clock, the passengers were again taken on
coard and all possible speed was made for

The assengers speak In the highest terms
or the conduct OF the officers during the
emergency, and are delighted with having
escaped such great peril with little or mt
loss to themselves
1t Is not believed that any OF their bag

the main hatchway. and the water only
