The town was only saved by the horoic exertions of the citizens. Kerly a thousand ne groes, who were in town to attend ar big meeting this" Sunday, lent their aid and worked nobly.

The third officer &f the Atlantic testified as follows : ,JIis watch was from 8 to 12 o'clock that night. The Captain and four officers were all conversant with the ship's position at 1 p; m. ' The Cap tain's orders when' he went below were, to. call h im immediately if the weather be came hazy or thick. ,. I gave the Captain's orders to the fourth, officer and . turned in after being relieved. I didn't know any thing afterwards until the ship struck. I ran on deck and met Quartermaster Wil liams : he was afterwards drowned. I ask rd him what was the matter? He answer ed, "my Godt the ship has gone ashore 1" While in the act of launching the boat, the ship fell pver on her side j as near as I could judge it was only some six or eight minutes after she struck that she keeled over. WheiV I got forward I saw a rock in jront of the ship and thought if I could get the rack I could save myself and others. I sent Quartermaster Williams to try and reach the rockf but he' failed and we had to haul him back to the ship. .1 t'jen sent Quartermaster Speakman, who succeeded in reaching the rock. He made fast the rope, and by this means vr saved a num ber of Iive3." When the rock became crowd ed we threw a line across to the Island, and many went over safely to dry land. The. witness produced a diagram of the internal arrangements of the -ship and showed there was nothing to prevent steer- afre oassemzers from fretting on deck. -The witness said the statement there was any thing to impede any of the ; passengers in coming on deck was absurd. ; Io orders were jiven or carried but to keep passen gers below. The witness did not. know what the speed Of the Vessel was when she struck. The Captain did all that-any man could possibly do to save life. The Witness could see and hear him froms the rock ex erting himself.

He did not know whether any one was sent aloft as look out.
