WENT ASHORE.
Steamer Castilian Lost in a Fog
Near Yarmouth, N. S.

HALIFAX IN. s., March 12.-The
new Allan line steamer Castilian, from
Portland, for Halifax, went ashore at
Cannot Rock Light, near Yarmouth
this morning at low tide, in a dense
fog, her compasses being deranged.
Two compartments are full of water
and tugs have gone from Yarmouth to
the scene.
The Castilian arrived at Halifax from
Liverpool ten days ago on her maiden
voyage and went to Portland to load
cargo for return. She is $500 net reg

due to embark mails and passengers

HALIFAX On. 81 March 12.-The
steamer began leaking Immediately
after she struck, but the best discipline
prevailed among the passengers. They
returned to their berths, and were
called out again to don life preservers,
which many We're wearing when they
reached Yarmouth on tugs at SID this
Sunday evening. The passengers
and the crew all saved their bag
gage. The steamer went on at low
tide, which. will be in her favor. The
place of the disaster is a few miles
from where the Moravian of the Allan
line was lost some years ago.
The first and second holds are full of
water The steamer is aground aft to
the engine room, and there is six feet
of water in the engine room. There are
six fathoms of water under her aft.
The captain, three mates. the stew
ard, engineers and some of the crew re-
main on board, and three tugs are
standing by. The steamer was fifteen
miles out of her course, with a fresh
southwest wind, which would increase
the current. The weather has re-
manned moderate all day, but if the
wind changes there is no hope of the
steamer ever coming off. There is a
fair prospect of salvage of the cargo.
