Tne sea was riot so oaim as has been state 1 iu some

three minutes afterward, one of the men on the

Anothek Statement from Mr. Baaulam.
Mr. William Baahlam, 21 officer of the Arctic
saya ' hat the Merlin, wli-ch landed Mr. Baahlaul
aaa ius company at Halifax, was fourteen or fifteen
houra cniising whore the accident took place.
They instituted the search ut the instance of Mr.
Baahlam. When the collision took place, the
Arctic’s speed was twelve and a half miles an hour
the usual rate in foggy weather. All due vigi
wis cixnrcised. On the forecastle wero sta
ti. ned two men on the constant lookout to avert
inv possibility of « o. I.is’HU, or ot er accident
At tbs time of the accident there were on deck
iwo officers besides Mr. F .ablam. It was not a
moment after the other vessel was seen b lore
the collision took phtco. There was very great
consternation. Immediate order was given to hard
starboard tho helm and reverse the engine.
The water was discovered pouring in below, and
Mr. Baahleru was ordered down to stop the leak.
The effort to do so was of no avail.
As to the question why so many saved wero of
the crew, and so few passengers, Mr. Baahlam
states in explanation that Captain Luos ordered
him to jump into a boat, which he did with three
others. They had no Booner touched tho water
than they wore surrounded with numbers who
had jumped overboard, aud wore struggling for
life. He says they did not stop to notice who and
what they were, but tilled their boat. Another
beat was also lowered, aud immediately filled.
The two had all they could contain. They could
do i o more, at.d with severest inner struggle they
left the otliar-i, whom they could not save, to the
deep. Ho sajs he left when he did at the irnpera- j
tivo command of Captain Luce.
The Times says that Mr. Baahlam’s conduct in i
connection with the rescue of tho crew and passen i
gersot the ship Ocean Monarch, a few yeurssince,
is ioo f- sh in the recollect on of many hearts to
warrant snspici'-n of selfishness or inhumanity on
bis part. Captain I.‘itch, of the Europe, when
they strived at Halifax, in the kindest man er
po. - ble gave Mr. Baahlam and iiis men a passage
t > Bat a. Mr. Btahlam says there is no doubt
that Mi • Colons was drowned, as there are many
surviving who witnessed her death.
This s u imerit is corroborated by M. Dupas
f iur, one of tL•• Fr -neb passengers saved, who
informs the Co-ii roes li;atsU-is tha*
C fain Luca j Mrs. Collin*, her children and
j .-‘th’-r passengers on board the boat near
in !. O' tort icutely, at the moment oflow
• r uu > v one oi lie pulley-, gave way, the
jo'">) remaining entangled. The boat was pro
: i: .1 rated nearly poroeudicuiariy, and all who were
1 i;. it, excepting three persons, wero thrown into
; l! t sea. At such aai me t a misfortune like ;his
j was without a rcu -by. Ti.o overhauling of the
i boat, now empty, wa- :-.ohioved, and it was inipos*
iV.:■ -to reg'iia n her dea.iuy Passengers and sail
j ors with uiecvrenn.iiy jumped i to tho boat, which
! w.-in a few seconds tilled. MM. Dupasseur, C.
; T. Mi’• o .ell, W. A. Young, W. W. Ciilbcrt, F. de
, Muyer, William Gihon, E. M. Huss, J. Bogart,
i J. Hennessy, J. MoHaih, Geo. Dobbs, and Du
j laquais, (servant ot M. lo Due de Grammont),
w -o api.y iHioogh to find pine sin this boat.
M. le Due de Grammont himself tried to jump,
■ but tell into the >ce, and would have immediately
! perished, b-u it not been tor his servant, who bv
u i’Uj .-rhuman cil’jrt hoisted him on board. Da
ta sis himself regained the b«: by means of a
r< : o, 'nviting his master to toliow his example, but
the be t had already got under way. Dulaquaia
ma lea greft jump, and fell hko an inert mass in
the boat. M. de Grammont did net ft el strong en
oogh to imitate ‘.'in. or be would not have allowed
b p.’f-st precious minute which separated safety
tr-a. dea'n.
The yo-.mg Duke, M. Gnynet, ..nd Mr. Brown’s
f.. iriy, were the last persons tl;at M. Dnpasseur
pcfCv, Ved on tiia srernof tho steamer at the mo
i when the boat parsed around Die ship.
M. D ipasseur was the twe ty fifth person in
the b oa*, sod the lea*t movement might have re
snltel in the npsettiug ot the boat. Fortunately,
t ro.!.'»•:? to the starboard side they met the boat
i ot lilr. Baahie.rn, and were lightened of six per
!-r :is This officer otiered to take the commana for
j tl o gent-mi safety. A few moments after the Arc
I • , :ow n andoned to the caprice of the sea, and
: hw ng already twelve lee- of water iu her hold,
i Wits OUt of si.' d.
M. Dupi-.eur hes informed the Courrier des
’ Et.-.rs U''is that the French passengers on the Arc
| tie, K e d : himsen, were: M. Guyuet, his wife aud
four children ; M. Lenoir, his wife, his brother and
his brother’s wife and their children; Madame
Leeo j and child ; M .ie. Yictorine Ferrin.
It * thought that mod of these took r»fnge in
one of the boats, whoso fate is not yet known.
There w ore also ou 1 d the Arctic the following
named French residents ot Hew Orleans :
Messieurs. E-nes. Be* ret, Miuvielle, Banche,
Fleiry s • i Burch, and Ml ’He. Mansuy.
These wero ali on board the Arcdc when M-
Dupa seur quitted it.

for tnc comfort of liio.-c who were your ledow

that might be still afio; t, by setting out in i small

The Boston Transcript of last evening says :
The passengers report that at the moment of
the coHDon, the Arctic was fin the top of a long
wa •(, while the Yes'a was in what is ca.led “the
t >ugii*’ of the sea, so that the Arctic was injured
below her wa*er line. T* is will account for re
ported difficulties in stopping the leak.
In regard to the statements in the morning pa-
PS'A te-p cling ’he Brown lumily, we are informed
that Me. srs. Mitchell an.i Dabasseur did not see
them upset iu the boat with Mrs. (Jollius aud oth

Lit o Bt. Johns’ News >und!an<ler, wo find some
stale.i.snts in regard to the conduct of the Ameri
ca n coLMii at St. Johns, Mr. Newman. The intel
ligence of the disaster was received at Bt. Johns on
sati r lay,-un for throe days, although earnestly
Kt-bcii d, the American consul took no moasnres
'of the relief of tho Arctic, or tl iso of her pa-, sen
,'rof - who wore drifting in bca’.sl The steamer

Capt. S. G. Sluyter, Steamer Victoria--Dear
Sir—Referring to your conversation, the’m«poc
ti.>ti of the chart, and to your recollection of the
winds that have prevailed during our vovsire
winch termijifltad at this port last night with re
gard to the probable present position of the boats
which are said to have left the ill fated steamer
Arctic soon alter her collision with the steamer
Vesta, 1 have to request that you will, as soon as
you can tako in the necessary supply ot coal, pro
ceed with the steamer Victoria to such places as
you may deem it judicious to begin the search,
and continue the same in such direction, to such
distance, and for such length ot time, as shall
satisfy you that it is hopeless—having also duo
regard to the safety of your own vessel and crew,
and to the reservation of a sufficient quantity of
coal to last back to this port.
Lot the glorious hope ot reaching the sufferers
cheer and animate you to achieve their deliverance.
Very truly, yours, Chan runt White.
On the o', her hand, the St, Johns Ledger stutes
that “ no expense has beon spared in the search,
and the exertions of Mr. Newmun, the American
Consul, are worthy of all praise.” And the Bos
ton Journal says:
Mr. Johnson, one of the passengers by the
wrecked steamer City of Philadelphia, who arriv
ed from St. Johns, via Halifax in the Europa, states
that to tho best ol his knowledge the American
consul did exort himself in behalf of the sufferers
by the Arctic. He is not acquainted with all the
facta in the case, but he was informed that tho
cousul applied immediately to tiie agent of the
telegraph company to charter the s‘earner Victoria,
but was met by a reply that he could only have
the steamer by paying SSOO per day. Deeming the
sum exorbitant, lie immediately despatched a sail
ing vessel in quest of the Arctic, aad the agent of
tho telegraph company afterward sent out the Vic
toria upon hii own responsibility.
Mr. Johnson sa.a that Mr. Newman exerted
himself to the utmost to provide for the sufferers
of the wrecked Btt umerC ty of Philadelphia, n- d
to rave property. He waa also informed by tho
survivors <>! trie Arctic, with whom Lo came in-m
Newfoundland, that tho consul bad treated them
iu the most humane manner, paid every uUeut on
to them, summed them with clothing, and promo
ted their comfort in ev iy way in his power. Our
informant thin s that the report to tho discredit
<d tho consul, which appeared in the tit. Johns
paper, originated f otu personal ill will.
Mr. Johnson slat a that the iouvii steamer Ves
tu ? which was in contact with the Arctic, reported
upon arrival at St. Johns, N, ¥., that the Arctic
hail run into her, and had suited away without
stopping to ascertain what damage wm- done—bid
ding them good-bye cheering. This repo s
created much feeling and prejudice at St. Johns,
and the survivors ot the Arctic were relused ac-
Ct'muiodution at the principal ho.el in the piaco
(French.)
Much credit is due to the American consul at
Sydney, C. 8., who, upon hearing of tho disaster
hastened to be. Johns, and tendered every assist
ance.
Tho fact is that there arc so many discrepancies
in the various statements, not only as to the con
d ct of tho American consul, but as lo tho fate of
Mrs. Collius and her family, and other passengers,
■ that it is useless to attempt to reconcile them, and
it is difficult to deeid which to believe.
One ol tho second class passengers who wins
saved, declared at Mr. Collin’s office this morning
that be mw Mrs. Ciliins in one of tho bo.v which
put off from tho wrocU. Hope, therefore, still re
mCns in respect to that lady.
