The Crew of a Vessel Barely Saved.
Reports the Sinking of Another.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Oct. S.-The Brit
ish barkentine st. Peter, before reported
having been passed at sea and making for
Halifax in distress. arrived here to-day.
She was partially dismasted in a hurri-
cane that struck her on the night of Sept.
s, compelling her to put about for Hall
fax in order to repair the damage.
Capt. Skaling brings the startling report
that the storm through which his vessel
passed was the cause of sending to the
bottom a four-masted iron sailing ship,
which must have carried crew of at least
forty-five or fifty men.
The st. Peter and the other vessel had
been sailing within sight of each other all
day on the sth, but never came within
halling distance. The name of the one
could not be distinguished from the deck
of the other. When evening closed in the
big ship could be plainly seen from the
deck of the st. Peter. Her lights were in
sight for some time after dark. Then the
hurricane swept the ocean, and the crew
of the st. Peter had all they could do to
keep their vessel afioat. She was thrown
on her beam ends and remained in that
position for ten hours, during which time
the crew were lashed to various parts of
the deck work. The jibboom and all head
sails, the main-top-gallant mast, the
main topmast and other spars and sails
were carried away, as well as the deck,
load and nearly all the water casks. Sew
eral of the men were knocked about and
bruised, but none seriously hurt.
When the St. Peter righted herself on
the 9th, nothing was to be seen Of the
four-masted ship sighted the day before,
but shortly after the barkentine passed
the floating wreck of a ships deck and
deck house, which the crew identified as
belonging to their sailing companion of
the previous day. The condition of the st.
Peter rendered it impossible for the crew
to make an examination of the wreckage
In order to learn the name of the ship, but
Capt. Skaling Is satisfied that the other
vessel went down with every soul on
board
No small boats could have lived in the
water in such a hurricane. The disaster
occurred in latitude SS; longitude So.
