Lost of the Austria—Statement of om
of the Passengers.
Halifax, Sept. 27. —The bark Lotui
from Liverpool arrived at Halifax har
bor on Sunday afternoon, with twelvi
of the sixty seven survivors, passengeri
of the steamship Austria, burnt at s«
September 13th, in lat. 45 01 long. 41
30, taken from the bark Maurice on th<
14th inst. The agent of the associated
press immediately boarded the Lotus,
and obtained the following particulars.
The following is the statement of Char
tres Brews:
I took passage at Southampton on the
4th in the Austria, Captain Hydtman,
which left Hamburg on the 2nd inst.—
We sailed at 6 P. M.; the evening being
a little misty, we in consequence anch
ored between the Isle of Wight and
the main land, sailed again on the fol
lowing morning. In weighing anchoi
an unfortunate accident occurred, bj
which one of the crew lost his life
owing to some mismanagement the
anchor ran out whirling the captair
round with terrific force, hurling tin
men in all directions, two were severe
ly wounded and one was killed instant
ly, as he never rose to the surface ol
the sea, into which he fell. From tin
time the ship was laid on her course,
we experienced a succession of strong
westerly gales. On the 12th the weath
er was more favorable and on the 13th
a speed of eleven knots hail been at
tained, and all were in high hopes of
reaching New Voik by the 18th. At a
little after 2 P. M., I was on the quart
er deck; I saw a dense volume of smoke
hurst from the after entrance of the
steerage. Some women run aft ex
claiming “the ship’s on fire, what will
become of us?” The ship was instantly
put at half speed and continued so un
til the magazine exploded ; from this I
infer that the engineers were instantly
suffocated. I only walked from where
I was on the upper deck to the waist of
the ship, where I saw flames breaking
through the lights amidship. As the
ship was head to the wind, the fire
travelled with fearful rapidity.
I then went to the man at the wheel,
and told him to put the vessel with her
side to the wind. He hesitated—prob
ably did not understand me, as be was a
native of Hamburg. I then got a Ger
man gentleman to speak to him. At
this time I saw some person letting
down the boat on the port side of the
quarter deck. What became of the
boat I do not know, but think she was
crushed undenthe screw. I then went
to get a boat over on the starboard side
of the quarter deck, but the moment
we laid our hands on the ropes, there
were so many people who crowded into
it that we could not lift it off the blocks.
We, therefore, left it for a few minutes
until the people got out, when we re
turned aud launched it over the side of
the ship, when the people rushing into
it again, it descended with great vio
lence into the water, and was instantly
swamped, all the people being washed
out except three whoheld on to the sides.
We then let down a rope and pulled up
one person, who proved to be the stew
ard. Another in the act of being haul
ed up was strangled by the rope.
The fire now came on too fiercely to
attempt to get up any more from the
swamped boat. All the first cabin pas
sengers were on the poop, with the ex
ception of a few gentlemen who must
have been smothered in the smoking
room. Many of the second cabin pas
sengers were also on the poop, but a
number of them got shut into their
cabin by the fire ; some of them were
pulled up through the ventilator, but tho
greater number could not be extracted j
The last woman who was drawn up \
said there were six already suffocated. |
We now perceived that the ship bad got,
her head to the wind again, so that the
flames came over the quarterdeck. In
consequence of the crowd I could not get
to the wheel house to ascertain the reason
but I was informed that the helmsman
had deserted his post, and that the ves
sel being left to herself, headed to the
wind of her own accord. At this time
the scene on the quarter deck was in
describable and truly heart-rending.—
Passengers were rushing frantically to
and fro—husbands seeking their wives
~yeKy eK ’ n H, ‘ arc h of their husbands— j
relatives looking after relatives—moth-1
ers lamenting the loss of their children :
—some wholly paralyzed by fear-oth-1
ers madly crying to be saved-but a few
perfectly calm and collected. The flames !
pressed so closely upon them that many ;
jumped into the sea-relatives, clasped
in each other s arms, leaped over and
met a watery grave. Two girls, sup
posed to be sisters, jumped over and
sunk kissing each other. A missionary I
and wife leaped into the sea toget her, I
and the stewardess and the assistant
Steward, arm in arm, followed. One!
If — , | i,,in ————’ ————————
| Hungarian gentleman, with seven fine \
children, four of them girls, made huj j
wife jump in, then blessed his six eld
est children, made them jump in, one
after tbo other, and followed them wUh
an infant in his own arms I, about
th ; s time, was standing outside the bul
! walks, holding on by the davits and
' l leaning out to avoid the flames, which
were leaping towards me. I saw a
swamped boat under me, spinning by a
i rope still attached to the ship, and as
the oars were tied in her,l thought that
if I could get to her I would be enabled
to save myself and some others.
I let myself down by a rope passing
over a man who was clinging to it, but
, who refused to come with me. I took
out a penknife to cut the tackle ; the
large blade broke, and I then severed it
: with the small blade. The ship passed
ahead. As the screw approached, I found
the boat drawn towards it. I tried to
keep the boat off, but the screw caught
and capsized her over me. I dived
? away from the ship, and came to the j
i surface near a boat which was keel up
wards. I got upon her, and by pressing ;
on one side; with the assistance of a;
s wave, she righted, but was still swamp-;
i ed. The oars had been knocked out by
the screw’. The only thing I could fiud j
in her to paddle with was some laths
? nailed together as a sheathing for the
sides. When I looked around, the ship
was a quarter of a mile away from me.
5 I could see the ladies and gentlemen
jumping off the poop into the water in
3 twos and threes, some of the ladies in
I flames. Several hesitated to leap from
r the burning ship until the last moment,
. as the height was 22 feet, and were only
c at length compelled to throw themselves
8 off to avoid a more painful death. In
- half an hour not a soul was to be seen
, on the poop, I pulled after the ship and
picked up a German, who was swim
- ming strongly. I got him beside me
- on the boat, and we paddled after the
ship, with the laths. I now saw a ves
* sel under sail approaching. She reach
- ed the steamer at about SP. M. We
_ continued pulling towards them, and
about half-past seven o’clock, after be
ing five hours in the water, got within
hail of the sailing vessel, which put off
a boat and took us on board. She
te proved to be the French bark Maurice,
Captain Ernest Reneaud, of Nantes,
bound from Newfoundland to the Isle
lof Bourbon, with fish. She had, up to
r p that time, rescued forty passengers of
the burning steamer, chiefly taken off
® the bowsprit, though a few were pick
ed up floating around. At about 8
o’clock one of the metallic boats came
I I up with about twenty-three persons, in
s eluding the first and third officers ; after
„* wards three or four men were picked up
** floating on a piece of the broken boat.
The second officer was taken up, having
e been swimming, with nothing to float
him, for six hours.—The second and
third officers were severely burnt, one
male passenger was burnt frightfully,
aud some other male passengers slight
jl y. There were but six women saved,
j | lhree of whom were burnt, one in a
j’ j thocking manner.
>y | Captain Reneaud acted with the ut
- 5; most kindness. He gave clothes, as far
te as he could furnish them, to the suffer
u ing passengers, and acted as nurse, doc
le tor and surgeon to the burnt people,
e- dressing the wounds of the females
t- with a delicacy and tenderness that
evinced a benevolent and amiable dis
ie position. I did not see an officer of the
ship during the fire, and am certain
g there was not one of them or the crew
t-: on the poop, except the man at the
h wheel for a short time. I understand
t- j that when the Captain heard of the
,fjfire, he rushed on deck without a cap,
a and when he saw the flames, exclaim
ed, “We are all lost.” He tried toget
e out a boat, which, when let down, was
e swamped, and he, whether accidentally
_ jor not I do not know, fell into the sea,
] | and was soor. left far behind. The fourth
y I officer was in this boat. lie cut her
. j loose from the davits ; she was carried
1 1 under the screw and smashed, and seve
ral in her drowned.
* j Three or four men escaped on a frag
fiment of the wrecked steamer, and were
r | picked up by the Maurice, as before
»| stated. About the same time one me
.ltalic life boat was let down from the
! port bow and swamped, but afterwards
got clear with about thirty three per
sons in her, including the first and third
. officers and several women. The men
. in the boat capsized her two or tnree
times in trying to clear her of water.— j
; Ten persons were thus drowned inclu- j
ding some women They afterwards
j bailed her out with life preservers cut
. in two, and pulled for the Maurice,
i having picked up two or three passen
; gers before reaching the bark. Alto
. gether there were sixty-seven souls ta
ken into the Maurice during the night.
A Norwegian bark came up with the
i steamer the next morning, and a boat
was observed going around the burning
; ship. They may have picked up a few
persons but only a few. The Maurice
* had no communication with the Nor
, wegian. At about 7 o’clock the Mau
rice sailed for Fayal to deposit the res
cued passengers. At about two o’clock
[ the same afternoon she fell in with the
hark Lotus, Capt. Trefy, of Yarmouth,
, Nova Scotia, from Liverpool for Halifax.
As I was anxious to get on British terri
tory, Captain Trefy kindly gave me pas-1
sage. He was also anxious to take all
, the American citizens, but there was
i such a rush of foreigners into the boats
that only one load of eleven could be
got off, and even several of these were
foreigners.
The fire is known to have arisen from
very culpable negligence of the crew. *
The captain and surgeon deemed it expe
dient to fumigate the ste rage with
burning tar. The operation was one to
be performed by the boatswain, uuder
j the superintendence of the 4th officer.
, I The boatswain heated the end of ji
I chain to dip in tar to produce smoke.—
; j The end got too hot to hold, and he let
! iit drop upon the deck, to which it set
i j fire. The tar upset, and immediately
t about was in flames. A feeble at
i tempt was made to extinguish it, but I
i without effect, there was nothing at'
hand to meet such an emergency
> The rescued passengers saved nothing!
. but the clothes on their backs, and even I
the greater part of these were torn off
. ami otherwise lost. Six hundred souls;
> were supposed to be on board, including I
; many women and children. Mr. Drew
is the only British subject saved. He
is in the British civil service, and on his !
1 way to British Columbia. He will pro

I was attacked with the Liver Complaint, i
which apparently brought me to the brink of J
the grave. During my sickness I was attended)
by three physicians in our place, but received'
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, but tbeyaf-j
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was |
• persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored!
to better health than I have enjoyed before for'
ten years. This statement may be relied upon ’
as strictly true. Betsey Perrin. !

g*The Great ProJ»lem|
Solved!—Oß. MORSE'S INVIGORATING COR-1
t DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
1 has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
courso of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to.
, I the sufferer, while his digestive organization was.
; paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
' wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
Tho nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
! acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreui
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
; rors, wakened by periodical (its, threatened with
' paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
1 terriblelassitudc which proceeds from a lack of
> nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
’ or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
> of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
-3 ery member with the source of sensation, mo
-5 tion and thought—derives immedi'to benefit
■ from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization. . „ .
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
! declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
3 i woman has ever received from the bauds oi
i medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im-
S mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite »
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
j which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
S ir long life and the vigor necessary to its en- j
joymeut are desirable, this medicine is indeed of |
' precious worth
t Its beneficial effects are not confined to either i
. sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
c ‘ wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
■> man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
1 bility or from the weakness of a single orgaD
1 wi 11 all flud immediate and permanent relief from
1 the use of this incomparable renovator. To
■ those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
. perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
-1 tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
’ of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
-1 ference to the causes, and will not only remove
’ the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken cou

gIT Cure the Liver.--There is
; an article selling throughout the country that
i has attained the widest celebrity ever known as
j a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer
I once to DR. SANFORD'S INVIGORATOR, OR
LIVER REMEDY, that has performed cures al-
I most too great to believe, were it not for the un
doubled evidence that accompany the testimo
■ nials. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known
• for Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debility 1
,' that so often baffles the skill of our most eminent
i physicians.
I Dr. Sanford has been for a long time one of the
eminent physicians of New York, and it is said,
most of bis cases were treated with the Invigo- j '
rator with such invariable success that he has j
• j been induced to offer it as a family medicine, and i
’! let the world have the benefit of his discovery.
, Iftho.se who are troubled with debility, head-i
ache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, wiU try ,
a bottle, we think they might save physicians’
; bills, and days, perhaps years, of suffering.—
i fiiFA Gi-cat Medieiue for
Females.—Hundreds of stimulants have been
f invented and sold, purporting to be specific in
the various diseases and derangements to which
> the delicate form of woman render her subject.
r The result of all these stimulants has been to
impart momentary activity to tho nervous system ,
- and false vigor to the muscles; but this relief
1 has been succeeded by a depression and pros
- tration greater than before ; and tho repeated
- attempts of invalids to build themselves up by
i these false remedies , have finally ended in de
- stroying what little vital t rgauization was left.
But in using BtERHAVE’S HOLLAND BITTERS,
you will find no such disastrous results. It is a
purely vegetable compound, prepared on strictly
- scientific principles, after the manner of the cel
. ebrated Holland Professor, Bocrhave. Under
f its influence, every nerve and muscle receives i
} new strength and vigor, appetite aud sleep re-;
. turn , and finally, perfect health. See advertise-;
