ShipwrecI1ed Crew Wandered All
Night In Snow.

st. Johns, N F., Feb. 1O.-The crew OF
the British brig Vidonia, which was
caught in an ice foe and blizzard while
bound out of this port Tuesday night,
were found yesterday wandering in the
woods and badly frost bitten. The Vi
donias was broken up amid the ice foes
Wednesday night. The crew abandoned
the wreck and reached land by walking
on the ice. Not being acquainted with
the coast they were compelled to re-
main on the beach all night unshelter-
ed in gale and snow. A furious storm
was raging on Thursday morning when
they left the beach and attempted to
find a settlement. Losing their way
they wandered through the woods and
were in dire extremity when a rescuing
party from Petty Harbor found them,
too feeble to walk further, and carried
them back to that village on dog sleds.
The brig Energy which was also held
fast in the ice held together until to-
day, but it is feared she will go to

declaring that he had not been posted

been about equally divided between the
