VESSEL.

New York, Nov. 22.-The Prince line
steamship Sicilian Prince, from Genoa
and Naples, lies aground on the Long
Island shore, one mile west. of the
Long Beach life-saving station. The
steamer stranded just before daylight
yesterday morning and all efforts
throughout the day to get the ship into.
deeper water proved futile.
Four tugs are standing by the YES
sci, and with hawsers made fast to
bow and stern; by their united efforts
are keeping her from being washed
further ON the beach. ,. =
An attempt was made, to float the
Stcilian Prince at flood tide about 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and with
the assistance of her own engines she
moved about 1000 feet; but still held
fast to the sandy bottom. The vessel
lies easily on the beach. There is
little surf and hardly. any wind, and

It is expected the ship will be pulled

twelve cabin passengers will be taken
off on steamboats, or tugs and brought

shore in about eighteen feet of water.
The Sicilian Prince is fourteen days
out from Italian ports. and has about
900 Italian emigrants in the steerage.
An unusually fast trip had been made,
and when she struck yesterday morn
ing she was making about twelve
knots. ,.. =. .Et5f... "
Capt. Richard Van .Wycklan, In
charge of the Long Branch life saving
station, says:
1t was hazy at the time and the cap
tain of the Sicilian Prince was steering
in a northeastcrly course"
rs -Mistook the Light.
His only explanation Of the vessel
being so close in shore is what he
learned from some of the crew of the
ship, who said Capt. Prince Hank saw
the Sandy Hook light and mistooll it
for the Barnegat light on the Jersey
coast.
The steamer grounded so easily that
few of the passengers knew OF the
ships predicament until daylight.
Even then, as the emigrants looked
out upon America for the first time
they broke into a cheer, thinking they
had arrived at the end of their jour.
ney.
Capt. Van Wicklen and his crew
launched life boat and went out to
the Sicilian Prince to tender assis-
lance, but all aid was. refused. No
one was allowed to come ashore from
the vessel. The beach on which the
Sicilian Prince grounded is marked by
several wrecks Of vessels that have
gone ashore there in the last five or
six years.
