Voyage to Chiricston.


Charleston $. G.. Feb S.-Admirnl

port to-day. after n disastrous voyage
from Hampton Roads.
Three men were lost overheard from
the battlcship Maine during the gale

death on the cruiser Marhlehead, an
other was fatally injured and six
others were so badly hurt that several
may lose limbs The details of the ac-
cidents ON the Marhlrhead are not OBJ
tainable. but it seems the cruiser made
bad weather of the blow. Tonight, as
she lies off the ictlics, she presents a
dismantled appearance. Her forccastle
is stove in and Il portion of her super
structure and two matches are carried
away. The heavy seas that swept her
decks also carried away her search
light, lower port boom. smashed the
rails and swept overheard the life
boats.
Carpenter Shawberlc was crushed TO
death in the forccastlc when it was
wrecked by a monster wave, and
Plumber Hickey had his skull crushed
by the wrcckngc and probably will die.
The six seamcn who We're injured are
believed to have been hurt mt the same
time. but the officers of the vessel are
reticcnt as to the details of the acci-
dent 1t is understood the injured men
will be brought ashore for treatment
tomorrow. Carpenter Shawberle was
buried at sea.
The other vessels of the fleet show
marks of their rough voyage, their up
