STEAMER LOST WITH CREW
Halifax Hears Of the Blowing Up Of
Storm Beaten Vessel.

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 22-The violent
storm which swept the coast of Nova
Scotia the latter part of last week has
apparently claimed another victim.
A two masted steamer is thought to
have gone to the bottom on Thursday
afternoon off Beaver harbor, on the
east coast Of the province, fifty
miles off Halifax. Her identity has
not been established, and so far as can
be ascertained not one of her crew sur
vived.
News of the disaster, which is one of
the strangest in shipping records, was
brought to Halifax by the steamer Kill
keel, commanded by Captain Allan,
from Port Hastings, Cape Breton. The
Kilkeel on Thursday morning ran into
a gale and Captain Allan decided to
run for shelter. Heading into Beaver
harbor, he observed behind him another
steamer with two masts and heavily
laden approaching, apparently also
seeking shelter. The gale was then
blowing at a terrific rate.
When the Kilkeel reached the haven
the unknown steamer passed west of
Horse island, near the harbor entrance,
which hid her hull Suddenly great
cloud of smoke or steam shot upward,
and when it cleared away the masts of
the incoming steamer had vanquished.
The officers on the Kilkeel, who had
been watching the approaching steam
err declare that thew are positiye she
went to the bottom, and they say they
are sure that no boat could live in the
sea which prevailed. They believe that
she ran too far west and struck rock
and that as she foundered her boilers
exploded. Nothing could be ascertain
ed to establish her identity. 1t is i'm
probable that any of the crew escaped.
