patched from hereto the arena of the wreck.
The accident occured during the prevalence of a
dense tog.
At the time of the collusion, the passengers were
ta in bed. When the steamers shuck the utmost
consternation ensued, pa-ticclarly among the steer
age staa deck passengets, who were chiefly Nor-,

The water gained fast, and the fires in ,the fur

The scene which billowed was terrible—women
and children cried for succor. from their husbands
and fathers, whilst the terror produced by this stid
den.caltimity, deprived the stoutest heart - of that
presence arniml which was so necessary. The
contusion which followed was such that even those
who had sufficient self-possession, could tip but lit
tle either in aid of themselves or other. The emi
grant.., who could not understand a word that was
..poken to them, added to the horror of the occasion
by sties of frantic Aertot.' The cabin passengers,
and others who could understand the exhortations
of the Captains, were comparatively calm, and pro
vided themselves with chairs. settees, beds, &c,
and all the parent life preservers on ward. S 1 any
were thus saved who would have otherwise brier)
drowned. Great numbers of the emigrants jumpeo

to the boat, the noble steamer rapidly seteed, arid
in a low brief moments the dark waters of the Lake
closed over her.
The Captain of the o : rilemsburg did all in his
power to save the lives of those tvho were strug

From Mr. Homan, of theltlichigan Central Rail-

450. This estimate reduces the probable loss of '
about 200. lives. This, it is feared, however, 13 a

rots of the recent dreadful calamity which betel the

standing this, he managed to save himself and two

A young woman, who 'pooped overboard on the
first alarm, would have drowned, but for the noble*
exertions of an unknown mail, supposed to have
been one of the emigrants, who leaped after her,
and, after great difficulty, succeeded in getting her
on board the steamer again, from which she was
taken in safety by the Ogdensburg. Her perserver,
unfortunately, after seeing her safe, sunk teem ex•

Three men saved themselves by clinging to the
binnacle box, which was thrown overboard, and en

only point of importance stated, was the opinion
expressed by him, that after seeing the Atlantic, it
he had given his necessary orders a few moments
earlier, as might have been done, the collision
could have been avoided. He stated that the 04-

100 from the water.
The second mate of the Atlantic stated, that he

before the collision, Emil put the wheel sport, arid

that if the pilot of propeller had put her helm aport
