Halifax, n. S., March 19.-The steamer
Delta arrived today from st. Vincent
with cargo of tho wrecked steamer Gas.
lillian. She had an experienced crew of
steved0res taken at Halifax for the saving
of the livestock and succeeded In landing
100 head of cattle IS horses and 60 sheep
at Yarmouth. Members of theDelta's g crew
report two things in particular; first that
the Castilian may be foated and second
that the acts Of piracy at the wreck beg
gered description. They say the stranded
steamer is lying comfortable and appar-
emily not any more damaged than when
she went on the ledge. The hull appears
to rest in a cradle in the rock alongside
the ledge and was unaffected by recent
storms. Two of the engineers of the Cas-
lillian said they expected to see the steam
or afoat again.
The stevedores expect to see the unfor-
tunate liner in dock at Halifax in
month. The Delta's people are loud In
their dennnc,stion of the vandalism they
saw and were informed of. A hundred
boats swatIned around the Castilian and
the people In them defied all authority.
They carried away everything they could
in the shape of cargo and smashed the
saloon doors for the sake Of the brass fit
itngs.
When the Delta left there we're about
eight hundred of those vandals aboard
loading up dories and smacks with cargo,
furniture, etc. Before Captain Barrett
left the wreck he attempted to drive the
wreckers Off the ship at the pistols point
but they dared him to shoot. Special Gus
tom house officers from Halifax and Var
mouth were also put on board, but the
wreckers only treated them with con-
tempt and went on with the work Of de-
struction uninterrupted.
Thursday the weather was particularly
fine and hundreds Of boats were there
from all around. while men swarmed over
every part of the ship, hacking, smashing
and destroying. Even upon the smoke
stack were they at work trying to get Of
the steam whistle and tearing away cop
per piping. Costly mahogany fittings
were wantonly cut and smashed; doors of
polished wood cut to pieces to get off
lock- The cargo, too, was every mans
property. Fred Jones of Ottawa, chief
preventative officer of the Canadian Gus
toms, went down and warned the men
that though he had no force with him at
present TO stop the work of destruction
and robbery, prosecutions would be
entered against every soul of them and
the least ponalty was years imprison.
