THE MORAVIA's CREW SAFE.
Only One Man Of Wrecked Steamers
Complement Lost.


Halifax, March 4.-The government
steamer Aberdeen has arrived here
from Sable island. bringing the crew Of
the wrecked steamer Moravia Captain
Jorginson, which was lost on the north
east bar of the island last month.
Second Officer Brenton of the steamer
Moravia is the only one lost out of a
crew of 49, The others We're safely
landed by the steamer Aberdeen and
are being we'll looked after.
Captain Jorginson was on board and
was seen by correspondent as soon as
the vessel could be boarded. His story
shows that the Moravia was short Of
coal and bound for Halifax when the
disaster occurred. She had rough
voyage and had only 100 tons of coal
when compelled to change her course,
For several days afterward Captain
Jorginson was unable to take observa =
tons, and on Feb. 10 the vessel struck
on the extreme northeast end Of the dry
bar. Within two hours the ship began
to break up. and the crew We're forced
to leave at once.
Signals from the Moravia were seen
and answered by the Sable island life
saving crew. Lifeboats were launched
and the crew were taken off as fast as
possible The sea was very heavy at the
time, and the weather was bitterly
cold. While being landed Second ON
Ger Brenton died from exposure.
The Morava broke amidships shortly
after the crew left and Immediately
commenced to settle in the sand. Mucf
of the cargo has foated ashore and Is
being picked up by those on the island
The Aberdeen also has a quantity or
board. which will be preserved for the
Owners

On Landing Troops.

In landing force on hostile shore
a great deal more has to be provided
than the vessels to carry it There are
people who discuss an invasion, and
who seem to have an idea that the mat
ter is limited to crowding number OF
soldiers on ship and directing them
to be landed Mt certain place There
is no consideration Of how they are to
yet on shore with their arms, guns and
ammunition that merchant ships have
only a few boats. and that artillery
cannot be transferred from ship to
beach without any previous prepara'
ton When we consider that, notwith'
standing the support and resources OF a
large combined feet and the presence
of transports. more than month OF
hard work was required before an ar
my of 80, 600 men could be landed in
the Crimea we are justified in doubt
ing those who assert that the invasion
Of our shores with 100. 600 or 900, 600
men is not only within the bounds OF
possibility. but by no means so difficult
an undertaking as is often stated.
