 Record of Tragedies of the Deep-A
 Captains Grit.
 Boston, March 14-Suffering, mental and physical, and numerous acts of heroism in saving life rarely exampled in the grim record of the tragedies of the sea attended the loss of the Phoenix line steamer British King, which on Sunday last in a raging Atlantic storm, foundered about 15O miles south of Sable Island and carried to death tWenty-seYen members of the crew. Thirteen men were rescued from the sinking vessel by the Leyland liner Bostonion, bound from Manchester to- Boston, and eleven by the German tank steamer Mannheim, Rotterdam for New York. Five others who had been sucked down in the vortex into which the British King was engulfed, were picked up by the Bostonian from frail bit of wreckage which they grasp ed after a desperate struggle for life in the whirlpool. The Bostonian arriv- ed here this afternoon and the details of the disastetr became known.
 Captain John O'Hagan, of the British King, died on board the Bostonion from the effects of terrible injuries sustain ed in trying to save his ship.
 The rescued who were brought here to-day include James Flanigan, the sec ond officer; J. D. Crawford, the chief engineer; Adolphus Beck, the fourth engineer, and William J. Curry, the steward. The others were coal passers and sailors, mostly Belgians, and one stowaway, Henry Parkotch og New York
 Two lifeboats from the Bostonian were crushed to fragments and the vol- Inteer crews which manned them were thrown into the high running seas while engaged in the work of rescue but all were safely landed on board the steamer
 Volunteers from the Mannheim after a heroic battle with the waves, had talk enoff eleven from the British King, but after this neither of the steamers, in consequence of the increasing gale could make no attempt to reach the laundering freighter. Moreover, dark ness fell and it was an utter impossi- Ibility to do else but wait for the moon> light to guide them to the stricken ship. In his darkness, the British King which was then waterlogged and help less, plunged down, bow first, and was lest to view.
 For three days her captain and crew, working against unconquerable odds, had tried to prevent or at least post pone their ships destruction, On Fri day, in the height of the tempest, the deckload of oil barrels of the BritistD King, and all her fittings were carried overheard. The barrels and wreckage, forming into powerful ram, both stern and port, then was driven down upon her sides with crushing force by the breaking waves, opening up the vessels s plates and allowing the water to pour into her holds.
 The extent of the leak was not under stood until the following day, however,
