TWELVE VESSELS OF THE ARCTIC WHALING FLEET ABANDONED.

SIXTY MEN SUPPOSED TO BE LOST

Tin: news of a terrible disaster to the Arctic whaling fleet, and..190 of the, survi vors, was brought into the port of San Fran cisco recently, by, the barque rioreiiyc, Captain "Williams." About -_'00 men were t:ikcn to .the Sandwich Islands by the Three Brothers, and'about 60 men remained Avitli the doomed vessels, wliicb were abau doned by t he officers' andniost of the 111011 on the sth' of September. The. vessel^ lost were as follows :—Ship Josephine, 368 tons ; sup Cornelius Howland, 3GI tons, about 35 men ; kniue Clara Bell, 196 tons,_ about 2o men : barque Camilla, 328 tons, 35 men ; ship Mareuyo, 47S tons, -il men ; barque James Allen; 339 tony, 40 men ; ship St. George, 39:2 tons, 40 men ; barque Onwani, 339 Utiis ; barque Aeora Barns, 20(i tuns, about 35 men ; barque Desmond, 2-30 tons, about 30 men; barque Java, 309 tons; barque Arctic, about 400 tons, 40men". The total amount of oil 011 board the lost ships was 12,5'0S barrels ;of bone, 60,500.poundsj ami of ivory, 47,-500 pounds. It appear* that the barque Arctic was crushed by the ice. on July' 7th, off -Sea Horse Islands; about eighteen miles from, the liiudi Smith of Sea Horse Islands, and on or about July 27th,seven or eiuht ships reached Point Barrow. There the ice had not started. In a few days the number of .ship.-; had increased to fourteen. The Northern Liii'ht and Norman stopped south walriisin-, and these escaped the disaster that followed. The vessels were bothered by the ice. On the. 2-ii!i of August, after many vain at tempts ta gain open water, the fleet, wilh the exception of the two vessels at Point Barrow, and the Florence, which had gained op'on water, were caught in the pack and drifted slowly to the northward. On the 29th the masters met, and., as the park was-still drifting'to the northeast-, they concluded that there was no hope ol ex tricating-the vessels, and as each ship had but three months provision, which was iu sdtficient for the long Winter, even it they ■were in a place of safety, it was decided to abandon the ships on September Stli, it nothing favourable occurred before that time. "Preparations for this step were made, ami on September sth, all being ready on board the Cornelius Rowland, St. George, MaiQiijo, .Desmond, James Allen, On ward ' and Acors Barns, the signal was made and the crews left their ships and started for the shore.. During the night a heavy northeast snow si«.iT.iVa.in! oa!',iiid at. daybreak the dreary inarch was resumed, and several men, pre ferring almost certain death to the hardships be forest hem. deserted and returned toward ithe ships, but it is doubtful if they ever reached them. Several of the crews refused to leave the ships at all and were left on board. .Open water was reached that after noon, and the boats,} launched. After a hard journey through the broken drift-ice, the shore was reached at 8 p.m., two miles west of Point Tangent, where the camp was made and fires built. In the morning the party started along the shore to Point Bar trow," which they reached on the 9th. finding the Rainbow and the Three Brothers wait ing there for them. A fresh start toward the south was made in the morning. The party kept on. to Cape Smythe, where the bark Florence lay inside the ground ice. A consultation was held aboard the Florence and ail further travelling voted useless. It was decided to pass the Winter at Point Barrow, and preparations were immediately begun. The Florence had 360 men aboard, more than could get between decks, and a portion were transferred to the Three Brothers. On the 23rd, both ships anchored in St. Lawrcnce_ Bay, and after getting a supply <>f water, divided provisions' and meu. On the 24th tiie Florence' set sail for this port and the Three Brothers for Honolulu. The fate of the men , who ■ went: back cannot be positively told, but if they do not reach the land and live among the natives, -a lingering death is certain, however distant it may be, as not a vestige of any of the ships that were abandoned in IS7I, which; were carried away by the ice, was ever seen afterwards. All were saved from the Clara Bell, but three men from the Josephine stopped at the fleet, eight aboard the Onward, live on the St. George, and seven on the James Allen, besides a great 'many more 011 other vessels."
