pened at sea. At 2 o'clock in the morning of |
the 26th February her Majesty's steamer the j
Birkenhead was wrecked between two and three |
miles from the shore of Southern Africa. The
exact spot at which the calamity happened was j
Point Danger. Off this point she struck upon a 1
reef of sunken rocks. The ship was steaming ;
eight and a half knots at the time. The water
was smooth and the.sky serene, but the speed
at which the vessel was passing through the
water proved her destruction. The rock pene- j
trated through her bottom just aft the foremast,
and in twenty minutes' lime there were a lew
floating spars and a few miserable creatures
clinging to them, and this was ail that remained
of the Birkenhead. Of six hundred and thirty
eight persons who had left Simon's Bay in the ;
gallant ship but a few hours before, only one j
hundred and eighty-four remain to tell the tale.
No less than four hundred and fifty-four Kng- I
lishmen have come to so lamentable an end." j
