others. One, however, soon left for an
other piece; and others remained until re
lieved by death. W - e stood in,the • water
up to our knees, the sea frequently-break
ing over us. We separated froth--bur
friends of the wreck, and passed:the night,
each expecting every hour to be *his
last. _
The morning came, but not a living
soul could be - seen - but-our -own party, con
sisting of seven men. About noon Mr.
S. M. Woodruff, of New York, was re
lieved by death, and all the others now
began to suffer severely from the want of
water except George L. Allen and my.
s pit Night at last came on, thick and
dreary, with our mindc , made up that 'nei
ther of us would seethe light of another
day. Very 'soon three more of our suf.
fering party - were relieved by death", and
Mr; Allen, a young /nail and rayself, were
a ll that were now left, and were 'much ex
hausted. We slept for a while during
the night, and became somewhat re
freshed.
About an hour be fore daylight
v im
the 29th, we saw a vessel's light
near us. We all exerted ourselves to the
utmost of our abilities in hailing, but the
light dißappeared to the eastward of us.-=
soon after daylight a bark hove in sight
to the northwest. The fog having light
ened a little we observed that she- was ,
steering apparently for us, but in a short
time she appeared to have changed her
course again, and--we were doomed to bit.
ler disappointment—yet I feel hopes that
some of our fellow sufferers may have
been seen and rescued by them.
Shortlyafter a ship was discovered to
the eastward, steering directly for . us.—
As they approached they fortunately dis
covered a matt ou a raft near them, and
succeeded in saving him. This man saved
is, a Frenchman, who was a "passenger on
boar.l the steamer with which we came
in collision. He informed the captain
that others were on pieces of the wreck,
and he
,proceeded to cruise. around in
-search-of-them. We were-taken-on-board__
-about 3 o'clock, P. M., after an exposure
of 46 hours, in a most exhautited condi
tion.
Shortly after Mr. James Smith, of- Mis
sissippi, was discovered and rescued.—
About dusk another piece or the wreck,
with five Of our firemen, was discovered,
and the sufferers rescued. None others
could he found. -
Captain Luce adds, that at the time of
the collision the anchor of the steamer
Vesta was drawn through the boWs .of
the Arctic abOut 18 inches above the wa
ter line, and an immense hole had been
made at the same instant by the fluke of
the anchor about two feet. below the wa
ter line, raking the fore and aft plank, and
finally breaking its chain, left the stock
remaining in " and through the Arctic,
which rendered the attempt to 'draw a sail
around the bow of the vessel impracti
cable.
THE NUMBER OF LOST AND SAVED.
The report that the' Vesta . had rescued
a number of the passengers and crew be
ing incorrect, reduces the number of sa
ved in three boats to 77, of whom 20 were
passengers and 57 officers and crew. To
these we now add Captain Luce and three
other passengers and
. 5 of the seamen,
making a total Of 24 passenger:, and 62 of
the crew. The New -York Times says
Gourley's boat, containing himself, three
sailors and the boatswain, Rogers' boat
with 11 persons, a and the sixth boat, con•
taining a number of ladies, some accounts
say twenty-one, remain to be heard from.
Another boat, the largest of the number,
was not launched when the last party of
whose safety we are advised !eft the
wreck. If launched,. shecould have held
100 persons.
ARRIVAL OF CAPTAIN LUCE—FURTHER
PARTICULARS.
Captain Luce left Montreal on Mon
day morning for New York. When the
train from the north reached Troy, nearly
five thousand people had collected at the
,depot in that city to greet him, and it was
with great difficulty that he was transfer
red to the Hudson River Railroad cars on
which the Superintendent had generously
set apart a ear for his use.and that of his
friends. He was met at Troy by. Mr.
S. H. Fearing, his broiher-in-law. Ac
companying him were Mr. George F. Al
len, of New York, Mr. James Smith, of
Natchez, Miss., and Ferdinand Keyn, a
young German who was rescued with
As soon as Captain Luce was seated;
he was4reeted by scores and hundreds
of people, who insisted on shaking him
by the hand. Several ladies came with da
guereotypes of their lost friends;to ascer
tain if he could recognize_them and give
them any intelligence of their fate. At all
the stations where he stopped, Captain
Luce was greeted with cheers, and . when
the train reached Yonkers, the place of
his residence', he found two long lines or

think there was no possible chance

She-went over gradually ; until the upper
deck got level with the water, when the
sea swept over us.
"As I went down," said Captain' Luce,
''after the sinking of the vessel, I was car
ried down a great distance, with ray - son
Willie in my arms. I opened my eyes
to see if I could discover light through the
water. It was some time before I could
do so, and then it seemed a very long time
before I reached the surface. When I did
so I could only have held out a iew too
ments. low Willie near me with - a - life
preserVer on him, and was jwst strug
gling to reach him when a piece of .the
paddle-box came up with great force and
fell upon him, striking him upon the
head.
' I struggled to get away, - and 'on look
ing around, I saw that the box was_ sli
ding upon the water. k short
: distance
back, poor little Willie was lying dead.—
During my struggle, I had cur my head
badly, which caused it to bleed very pro
fusely., and I was compelled for some time
alterwar'ls to wash. it frequently . to keep
the blood from blinding my eves. Mr.
Allen and I got upon the paddle-box at
the same time. By some it is supposed,
from the newspaper accounts, that the
piece we were on was the entire paddle
box. Tins is not so ; it was only a part
of it, about twelve feet sqare, and we
stood in the concave.
"Some eight or ten others got 'on the
same fragment:with us. Doting the time
we were there all the food we bad was a
small broiled chicken, which Mr. Allen
had taken from the table before
. leavilig
the ship. This was divided among those
who were on board. I did not suffer at
all from hunger or thirst. After the ships
hove in sight I felt some thirst and con
siderable exhaustion, but so far .as the
want of food was concerned, I think I
could have got along for a long time..
"We had -a small trunk on the wreck,
from-the contents of which 'we supposed
it belonged- to some 'female nurse. As

there were six of us remaining, of whom

washed off by the sea: Young . Keyn, the
German boy who was with us, suffered
intensely. He happened to have some.
biscuit with bhp . , which had become
soaked with the, 'salt water, and eating
these only 'increased his thirst, and 'to
make matters morsie ' he drank some of
the sea water. tits sufferings were be
yond all description. Twice he jumped
overboard, saying he. would rather die,
than suffer as he was doing; and each
time we pulled him back owthe wreck.—
At one time he cut open a vein in his arm
