A similar attempt was made to
launch the long-boat from the up
per deck, by the chief mate, Mr..
Matthews and others. 1t was filled
with several passengers, and some
of the crew. But as we We're al
ready within the verge of the
breakers, this boat shared the fate
of the other, and all on board,
about ten in number, persisted.
Now commenced the most heart
rending scene of all. Wives cling
ing to husbands, children to par
ents, and women who were without
protectors, seeking aid from the
arm of stranger, all awaiting the
results of the next moment, which
might bring with it either life or
death. Though an intense feeling
of anxiety must, at this time, have
filled every breast, yet, not a
shrek was heard, nor was there
any extraordinary exclamation of
Death Rode the Waves
A slight agitation was, however,
apparent in the general circle.
Some few hurried from one part OF
the boat to another, seeking place
of greater safety. Yet most, and
particularly those who had the
melancholy charge of wives and
children, remained quiet and calm
observers of the scene before them.
The boat, at length strikes-it
stops-and is as motionless as a
bar of lead. A momentary pause
follows-as if the angel of death
shrunk from so dreadful work of
slaughter. But soon the work of
destruction commenced. A breaker
with deafening crash swept over
the boat carrying it's unfortunate
victims into the deep. At the same
time as simultaeous rush was
made towards the bow of the boat.
The forward deck was covered.
Another breaker came, with ire
sistable force and all within its
sweep disappeared. Our number
was now frightfully reduced. The
roaring of the waters, together
with the dreadful crash of break
ing timbers, surpassed the power
of description.
Some of the remaining passen-
gers sought shelter from the en-

o'clock those who had been employ
ed in battling were compelled to
leave the cabin as the boat had
sunk until the deck was nearly
level with the waters, and it ap-
peared too probable that all would
soon be swallowed up by the foam
ing waves. The heaving of the
lead indicated an approach to the
shore.
Soon was the 4cheering intelli-
gence of land. Land announced
by those on the lookout. This, for
a moment, aroused the sinking en-
ergies of all, when general bus
tie ensued, in the hasty, but tri-
fling preparations that could be
made for safety as soon as the
boat should strike. But what were
the feelings of an anxious multi
tude, when instead of land, a range
of angry breakers were visible just
ahead, and land, if it could be seen
at all, was but half perceptible in
the distance far beyond.
No One Would Listen to Reason
AS every particular is matter
of interest, especially to those of
US who had friends and relatives
on board, it may not be improper
to state, that one individual urged
the propriety of lowering the
small boats, and putting the ladies
and children into them for safety,
with suitable persons to manage
them, before we struck the break
ers. By this arrangement had it
been effected, it is believed that
the boats might have ridden out
the gale during the night, and
have been resceud in the morning
by passing vessels, and thus, all,
or nearly all, have been saved. But
few supported this proposition, and
it could not be done without the
prompt interference of those who
had authority to command and who
must be obeyed..
Immediately before we struck,
one or two passengers, aided by
some of the seamen, attempted to
seek safety in one of the boats at
the quarter deck, when a breaker
struck it, swept it from the davits
and carried with it seaman who

then on through June, July and
August, High school girls from all
different sections of the State OF
South Carolina, accompanied by
their home economics teachers
will come to the camp, each for a
weeks stay. The camp accommo-
dates about $50 to 100 girls each
