The "Atlantic Horror."
Tbe telegraph continues to pour in on us
the dresdlul details of Ibe slesmer horror
jn the Nova Seotlan coast. The only light,
ning of the gloomy picture is the reducing
of tue number of victims from seven hun
dred and fifty lo less than six hundred, but
even this number is sufficient tu vunse
thrill of horror, wi lls! tbe incidents nam
ted deepen the painful irnprersiuu canied
by tbe first shock.
We hesitate to judge the case until all Ibe
circumstances have been thoroughly inves
tigated, but miiBl admit that at present ap
pearances are decidodly ag.iiust I parties
connected Wltb Ibe strnmer-hilild-rs "

to meet rmergsnoies not at all unlikely to
occur at this season ol tbe year; and there
was a ratal error In Ibe eaptaiu'e caleula
lion of tbe steamer's position. What could
be done by captain and owners after the
disaster seems lo bavs been done. Captain
Williams acted with courage and devotion
to bis duty after tbe snip struck, and the
owners have been prompt in furnishing ln
formation aod affording aid, but there Is a
heavy respoosibilily resting oo tome one
