BTaTKMKNT OF A SURVIVOR.
Halipax, Sept. 27. Tb brig Lotus ar
rived yesterday with twelve of tba sixty-nine
survivors of the destruction iT tlie steamer
Austria, burned at sea on tbe 13lb.
Mr. Brew repoits ss follows :
At a little after two o'clock, P. M., I was
on tbe quarter deck, wben 1 saw a dense
volume of smoke burst from tbe after en
trance of tbe steerage. Home women ran
aft, exela.miug, "The ship is on Ore what
will become of us ?" Tba ship was instantly
put at half-speed, at which she continued
until tbe magazine exploded, from which,
1 iufur, tbe ouginecra were instantly suffoca
ted. I only walked from wbero 1 was, on
the quarter deck, to the waist of tbo ship,
wben 1 saw the flames spreading through tba
light amidships. As the ship was bead to
the wind, tbe tiro travelled with fearful ra
pidity. I tbu went to tbe man at the wheel,
nad twid biin to put the vessel with her side
to tlio winJ. Ho hesitated probably did
not uuderstuiid inn, as be was a native of
Hamburgh. I then got a Uvrman gentle
man to speak to Uim. At tbis 1 saw some
pi-mcus letting down lb boat on tbe port
side oi tbo quarter deck. What became of
the boat 1 duu't know, but think she was
crushed onilor tbo screw. 1 then went to
(jet a boat over from the starboard side or
the quarter duck, but the moment we laid
our hands on tbe ropes there were so many
who crowded into if, that wo could not lift it
inT tlm blocks. Wo therefore left it for u
(Vw minutes, uu til the people got out, wben
wo returned and launched it ever tlie side of
. tlie ship, when the people all rushiug into it
ngiiin, it descended wilb great violence into
tbe water, and it was instantly swamped, all
the people being washed nut, excepting
ihr, whs) hold on to the (ides. We then
Kh down a rope, and pulled cp one person,
who proved to be the steward. Another, iu
the act of being hauled up, was strangled by
tli rope.
The fire now enmo on too fiercely to at
tempt to list up nuy mote IVom tbe swamped
lost. All the first-cabin passongois were
on the poop, with the exception of a few
.gentlemen, who mast bave bucu smothered
in tba smoking room. Many of tbe second-
cabi passengers were also on tbo poop, but
a iiuiiib.r of them got shut into leeir cabin
by l ha (ire. fcjomo of them wars palled up
through the ventilator, but tbn greater uuni
tier could not be extricaUd. The last woman
who was drawn up said theio were six al
ready suffocated. Wo now perceived that
the ship bad got ber bead to tbe wiud again,
10 that the tliinies came over tbe quarter
iNick. In consequence1 of tba crowd, 1 could
hot get tii tbe wheel honse to ascertain tbe
reason, but I was informed that the helms
iii4u bad decerted big post, and tbbt tbo ves
v l. being luft to herself, beaded to tbe wind
uf ber own accord.
At this lime tbe 6tiuna on tba quarterdeck
was itidoici ibaljbj, and truly heart-rending,
i'asseugers were rushing frantically to and
fro luiibaaJs seeking their wives wives in
teariti of their busbauds relatives looking
ufier relatives mothers lamontiug the loss
of their children some wholly paralyzed by
tear, others madly crying to be saved, but a
few perfectly calm and collected. Tba dames
proeted so closely upon llieui, that many
uuiued into tbe sea ; relatives, elaeped in
1 tea otber'l arms, leaped over and mot a
watery grave. Two girls, supposed to be
i aler. juMiped overboard, aud cauk kiseiug
tacit other.
A missionary and bis wife leaped. Into thu
tea logutbor, aud tbe stewardess and assist
ant tlewerd, arm in arm, followed. Una
11 utigarian geutleman, wilb teveu fiue cb.il
creii, foar of them girls, made his wife jump
io, teaa blessed his six eldest children, made
tiuia jump in one after tbe otbsr and followed
ijuui wit'j an itifaol iu his arms. 1 at this
xiii.e was staadiug outside of tbe bulnaiks,
i.u! Jittt; ou by the davits, leaning out to avoid
t lie tiauiss, which were leaping towards mo.
1 saw a swamped boat under me, spinning by
. rope still attached ft the ship. As tbe
oar were tiod in ber, 1 thought if 1 could
et t: Udr I won'.d be oua'olod to save myself
iiid souie others. I let myself down by a
rop-, patiug over a man who was clinging
to it. but who refused to come with m. 1
took out a pen knife to cut tbe tackle ; tbe
large Uiadd broke, and 1 then severed it with
the small blade. Tie ship then pasued
ahead, and as tbe boat approached the screw,
1 found tbo boat was druwu towards it. I
tried to keep it away, but tbe screw caught
fie boat aud capsized it over me. 1 dived
ay from the ship and caiuo to the surface
iitr tbe boat, which was now keel upuaids.
i put on ber, eod by pressing on one sido,
wall tbe assistance of a wave, she righted,
he, was still swamped; the oars bad been
!;uocked out by t'uo screw j tbe only thing I
could bud in her to puddle with was some
I tt'ns nailed together as a shenAjiiug for tbe
bi.les j when 1 looked around the ship was a
quarter of a mile from me ; 1 could tea the
ladiej aud centlemen iutoninc eff the poop
into tbe water in twos and threes,' son.e of
the ladies baiug in Dames j several hesitated
to leap from the burning ship until tbe last
moment, as tbe height was twenty-two fuet,
and were only at leugth compelled to throw
themselves on", to avoid a more painful death.
In hall an Hour not a soul was to be seen on
t he poop ; 1 pulled alter tba ship, and picked
up a (Juruiau who was swimming strongly ;
1 got him be.ida me on the boat, and we
' padolud after tbe ship with tbe laths. 1 now
aw a vessel under sail, approaching) she
rxacbed tbo steamer at about 5, P. M. ; we
ciiiliiiucd pulling towards taeiu, and at about
half past seven, after being five bours in tbe
water, got within bail of tbo sailing vessel ;
she put off a boat and took us on board ; she
proved to be the French bark M series,
Capt. Kruest Iteuaod, of Kantsi, bound frem
Is aw Vcuodluud for tbe Isle of Bourbon,
with &sh ; she bad, up to that time, rescued
forty paMtugort of the burning steamer,
chiefly taken off the bowsprit, though s few
were picked ap, floating around.
At about 8 o'clock oae of the metallic
boats came ap, with about twenty-three per
sons, including tbt second and third officers.
Afterwards, three or four men were picked
up floating oo a pieee of a broken boat. Tbe
second officer was takso up, having beeu
swimming, with uolhiug to float him, for six
hours. The second aud third oQicers were
severely burnt. One male passenger was
burnt frightfully, and some of tbe other male
passengers slightly. There were but six wr
men saved, three of whom were sural, on ia
a shocking manner. . .
Captain Keoaed acted with the almost
Kiodaess. He gave clothes as far as he could
furnish lham to lbs sufleriui passengers, and
acted at a nurse, doctor and surgeon to the
lurot neoiile. dressing- tbe woaods of the
females with a delicacy and tenderness that
evinced a beuevoleut aud amiable disposition.
I did noi sea an officer of the ship during
the fire, aod am certaiu thero wai aot ooa of
them tifthe caw t0 tu poor.txcept mm
at the wheel for short time. I undYrstand
that when the captain beard of tbe lire, he
rushed rn deck, without a cap, and wnen ne
sawlhe flames, exclaimed, " He art all lost P
He tried to get out a boat, which, accidentally
or Dot 1 do not know, tell luto lue sea, auu
was soon left far behiud. The fourth officer
was In this boat. lie cot her loose from the
davits. (She was carried tinder the screw and
smashed, and several in her were drowned.
Three or four men escaped on a fragment,
and were picked up by the Maurice, as before
stated. About the tame time, one metallic,
life-boat was let down from the port bow and
swamped, but got elcared away, with about
thirty-three person) io bor, includiog tbe Gist
aod third officers aad several wemen.
The men iu this boat capsized her two or
three times, in tryiog to clear her of water.
Tea persons were thus drowned, including
some women. They afterwards bailed her
out with life-preservers cut in two, and pulled
to the Maurice, bavieg picked op two or
three passengers before reaching lue bark.
Altogether there were sixty-seven souls
takeu into the Maurice during tbe night.
A Norwegian bark eaaie up with the
steamer the net morning, and boat was
observed going around the burning ship.
They limy have picked up few persons, but
only a very few.
The Maurice had had do communication
with the Norwegian bark.
At about 7 o'clock the Maurice sailed for
Fayall to deposit the rescued parseagcrs.
At abovt 2 o'clock the same afternoon she
fefT in with the bark Lotos. Ospt. Trafy, of
Yarmouth, N. S., from Liverpool for Hali
fax. As I was anxious to get on British
territory, Capt. Trafy kindly gave me a pas
sage, lie was anxious to take all Ibe Ame
rican citizen;, but there was such a rush of
foreigners into the boat, that only oue load
of eleven conld be got off, and even several
of these wero foreigners. Tbe fire is known
to havo arisen from very culpable oogligeDce
of some of the crew.
Tbe Captain and Surgeon considered it
expedient to fumigate . the steerage with
buniinar tar. The operation was to be per
formed by the boatswain, under the superin
tendence of tbo fourth ofiiccr. The boatswain
heated the eod of a chain to dip in tar ic
order to produce smoke.' Tbe end became
too hot to hold and he let it drop upou the
deck, to which it set fire. Tbe tar npset
and immediately all about was in (lames. A
Pueblo attempt was made to extinguish it,
but without effect. There was nothing at
band to meet such an emurgeucy I
The reecuod passengers saved nothing but
the clothes ou their backs, aud even the
greater part of these were torn off aud other
wise lost, tiix buudred souls were supposed
to bo oa board, iocluding maoy women aod
children.
'i be engine and boilers lay some twenty
feet below deck, and are surrounded by sheet
irou, so aa to confine fire commenciug iu tho
fiuu ico -room to its place of origiu. Ten
water-tight compartments protect her, io a
great measure, against danger' from leak.

Her cargo was a large and, very valuable
one.
Tbe Austria sailed from Hamburg on the
1st of September, with 40 Dion und womeu
and 19 children in tho Fret cabin ; 103 men
aud women aud 8 cbildreu in the second
cabin, and 211 men and women and iiO chil
dren an hteorage pas.-cogers making, iu all,
420. The crew consoled of about 100 per
sons ; besides which she may have taken, at
Southampton,- some SO or tO extra steerage
passengors mokiug, iu all, about 5."0 souls.
The coupigueeg are iu some doubt about tbe
number of steerage passengers, as one of their
letters from Hamburg states ibe number at
only 220. The Austria had eight life-boats,
which could not contain auythmg like tbe
number of passengers she bad on board .
Mr. Brew is the only British sabject saved.
Ha is in the British civil service, aud on bis
way to British Columbia, lie will proceed
to Boston in tba steamer Eastern Slate, on
Tuesday, en route lor New York.
