A Total Wreck. "
The Savannah fs a total wrack. Her
port ride Is entirely gone. Most of her
£ ua-board side was washed away and
nothing now renulns for the fury of
the waves but the hull.
Mr. John McIXmuld, of the Marine
Hospital Service In Boston, and Mr.
George D.nrlow of Boston, a bicycle
manufacturer, two of the passengers
on the fated Illinois, came up to the
Pulaski House tonight ns soon as the
Birmingham landed at her dock. They
were seen by The Telegraph correspon
dent In their room and gave a detailed
account of the terrible hardships of
the passengers and crew.

ern gale from the start. In fact, the
gales were so heavy outside Boston
Jtj»t after leaving that at supper that
night only four of the passengers
oould come down. These gales contin

day morning nb oit ll o'clock, when the
bavamnah struck the cycloae Itself.
Mr. McDonald add It seemed to him
like a Simoon. Xlnat nt thn passengers,
who were about as sick as they ever
get to be. remained In their staterooms
while three or four of them were In the
cabin. The rhlp sailed abng all right

night, when the waves dashed against
the cabin on 'the starboard side with
such terrific force as to break away
doors an-i shutters from their hinges.
Then it was that water began to pour
■through and everybody on board real
ised that they were In imminent dan

Between 12 and 1 o’clock, saw Sir.
MacDonald, a terrlflce wave struck the
navnnnah, carrying away her smoke

The passengers and crew who, were In
the cabin bailing out water knew notn-
Jng of this for some time afterwards.
They heard the steam escaping and
kn>-w that some accident, laid hap

not tell. They kept on with tier

doing all they could to keep tho ship

Lrlri n lutb<*Rrnrh.
As soon as It was realised shortly be
fore 5 o'clock Sunday morning that it
wits impossible to keep th* vessel off
tho ahore much longer, all the mils
available were hoisted for the purpose
of driving her as far as possible upon
tho bench and gelling those aboard of
her as near out of danger as it was
possible to do. The wind waa blowing
so hard that the whole atmosphere
waa filled with spray, and none of the
passengers could see wnore they were
going or where they were going to land
Just about G:1G Sunday morning tn*
vessel struck botto mnn the shoal to
the northeaat of St. Helena island and
Just three mtlea from the Ht. Helena
light. What they were to do then they
did not know. They fiad struck hot-
ton, and yet they could see nothing
on *11 sides of them but water. It
seemed as If they had reached shore
or somewhere near it. and stlu had to
see the hull of the vessel go to pieces
and they perhaps go down with It.
When the vessel was driven upon
shore a termendnus wave struck Capt.
Satagc lust as he Was leaving the pilot
house, hurled him through his state
room door and against the well. He
was badly bruised, and Mr. MacDonald
thinks he will have to go to the hos
pital for some days.
"We lay there all day Monday with
the heavy sea continually battering
against us ami not knowing when tnc
ship would go to pieces and wu be
carried down Into the sea. The rhlp
atood the heavy gale for some time,
until It finally ba.tered away almost
everything on the starboard tide. The
vessel then gavo way and til. down
on her starboard side at an angle of
about 45 degrees. Every wave that
struck the vessel then carried away
some part of her on the starboard
aide.

The waves finally struck the pantry,
and the water tanks, which were In
ths stem of the boat, so that the pipe*
were broken, the water ran out and
the store* ami provisions were all
washed away. Thus we were without
water or provisions from Monday even
ing when this occurred. The only food
we had after that tibe was suen as could
be obtained from tho cargo of th# vea-
set. We found some fea* boxes of sar
dines. some raw turnips and carrots and
some biscuit* which Srere ao we twtth
salt water that every bite taken from
one of them only Increased our thirst,
and there was no water there to aattafy
It. Fortunately on Tuesday morning
some one found a cask of mineral
water from somewhere tn Maine down
lur the hold. It was brought up at
once, and nil hands atood around eagerly
waiting tholr turn. There was Just
enough water tn that cask for one good
drink all around, and after that was
g.aie we had no more water whatever
until we were rescued by the Birming
ham on Wednesday morning at
o’clock. As Eng a* the starboard aids
