FOUNDERING OF THE KEN- MURE CASTLE.

Ladies Adrift.— Seventy Hours in an Open Boat.

Narratives of the Survivors.

By Out. London Corbhspondent.) The first months of 1883 have been rendered fearfully memorable by the loss of no less than three ocean going steamers of the largest and most powerful description. January had hardly commenced before the Inman liner City of Brussels was run into and sunk almost wijthin sight of port. Then came the appalling collision between the Cimbria and the Sultan with a holocauat of over 500 lives; and now it is my painful duty to d-..cribe to you the foundering of the Kenmure Castle (a large passenger j vessel bouud from Loudon to Khanyhai) ! and the 10.-s of 40 mote human lives.

The Ken mure Castle was a brig-iitrged steamer of one thousand niuo hundred and fifty tons, She was two hundred and eighty-six feet long and thirty-fiyo broad— or, in other words, she was eight times longer than her beam, from which it will bo seen that sho was one of thos3 "stove pipe ships," as they are termed, which the North Country yards, particularly, have made very familiar object, upon the ocean. Sho sailed at the close of January for Shanghai, and it does not Ecero, that all went well down to the time of hor encoun toiing tho weather that proved fatal to her, for tho survivors say tbat " several mishaps befell her prior to her leaving the Channel." However, she succeeded in making her way clcarof the British waters into the Bay of Bis cay. This brought the time to February Ist. A heavy south-westerly gale came on to blow, and brought up the whole weight of the billows of the mighty Atlantic into the bay, whose stormy space of water is never more formidable than in a gale from that quarter, Tho long and narrow fabric laboured as only steamers after that pattern do in the rolling surges, and soon her steer ing gear went to pieces. At the hour of sunset sho shipped a huge, sea that de molished the saloon, every vestige of which disappeared during Ihe night. The pas sengers sought refuge in tbe engine-room ; but tho ship was then sinking, the water was washing about fit the stoke-hole, and by order of the captain a boat waslowerrd, and all the passengers—the women in thctr night-attire-together with the second and third mates and seven Ohinam.n, got into hor. A minute or two after they had gone clear the steamer sank, taking with her between thirty and forty men. Ihe captain to the last held his post on the bridge, cooly giving his orders, aud it is said that he went down smoking a cigar. Assuredly if he smoked at such a. timo as that it was that he might suggest uncou corn, and so heroically avert the horrible peril of panic. Bo this as it may, the the behaviour of the capta _ of tbe Kenmure Castlo deserves to be memorable as an ex ample of fine English courage. For tbiee days and nights the boat, containing six ladies and twelve men—eighteen souls iv all—waa driven helplessly upon the terrible seas of the Bay of J-iscay. The suffeiings of the ladies may be conceived when it is remembered that the month was February, and that they were clothed only ia their n_s_i.-dre3-cs. It would scarcely be thought possible that an open boat should live in such weather as kept the tea raging whilst tho surviyflrs ot the Ken muro Castlo struggled ou painfully for life. They wrrc without food or water; they wcro IGO miles from land; aud such were their hardships that the third officer went mud, and Hung himself overboard, while tho famine among tho enstawnys forced thorn to chew pieces of a flannel vest, thoir sole'ration until they wero rescued, They sighted several vessels, and some came ro close as to persuade the sufferers that they wcro seen, but no notico was taken. Eventually a. French vessel sighted and rau down to them, and took them all on board. They were, landed at Boulogne, where they were carefully tended, after having had such a shocking experience of ship wreck as may Dot be easily paralleled by examples in our later marine annuls. Several of tho boat's crow saved from the Kenmure Caitle have volunteered ghastly accounts of thesufioiiugs they went though, but far tho moat interesting are the " Daily Telegraph's "

Narratives of Lady Survivors.

Mrs Munn, one of the passengers, has made tho following statement: " j and my three daughters were par-scn.-e.rs by the leumure Castlo, for Shanghai, where I was to rejoin my husband. Ou tho night of Thursday, Feb. 1, the ladies on bond the vc-sel wero very sea-sick in tho cabins. '1 lie water was commo; in, una we heard much noise, aud were greatly frightened. Tho st.wjird came in and assured us that theio waa uo danger. Presently the c.iperitor mended the door, which had been broken open. Six times did the door give way, and at 11.SO"o'clock the water came in with a great rush, so we left our beds and wont into the saloon, where wo found the settees and couches iloatiug about.. At this timo Mr Horrocks, one of the passen gers, canto to'tho .aloon door where I wa«. I said to him : 'If you could only make your way to the captain and tell him the state of affairs;' whereupon he left v*, aud wcgoton the sjloou tables which wererock irgabout fearfully. ThenMrJames Holnes?, tlio Second oilicer, entered the saloon, and _»rs Horrocks ciied out, ' __ye me, save rue ; let mo go.' He took her away, but we did not know where at the time. Some one picked up Victoria, my yoiingcst little girl, six yeais old, and the carpenter crinc into tbo saloon and said:' Come with me, I will got you into,a place of; safety if I can.' -We opened the door, but were thrown back by a wave, and the carpenter told me to take cate. We ; succeeded in getting to sonic ropes,, and to- these we clung for a long time, the waves washing oyer us. After an interval we made a dart to the engine-house door and descended to the CDgino-room, where were Mrs Heniy and my little girl and another daughter, and Mr Holness,' As we were in our night diesse3somo men's clothing was brought us, which wo put 00. We stayed in the engine-room uutil about ten o'clock in the morning, as far as we could tell, when Mr Henry came down to us and said thorc was no lime to be lost, w6 must get to the boat. Mr Henry carried Victoria and the fourth engiuoer my daughter Annie. We mounted the ladder, and I looked to the deck wheto our cabin was,; but could not see any thing of it, The' captain- _ saw me standing there*, and he took hold of one arm and one leg and threw me as lightly as "ho could into the'boat. That was the only way to get iuto it thou. 1 suppose he thought I should be too late. They were in the act of launching the lifeboat as the ship went down. The next Jthing I knew was that, on turning round, I saw the cud of tho ship. I hid my face, as I could not bear the sight. Some one said she was going down, aud another cried, ' She's gone' I noticod tho sun was shining splendidly at tho time. All this happened about eleven o'clook. The boat was steered according to tho direction of the second oilicer. There were no provisions or water iv the cutter, Mr Holness tried to got the latlies to sing, 'Pull for the shore, boys,' and ' A life on the ocean wave' There were iv the boat six ladies and two gentlemen, with tho second and third officers and seven Chinamen as crew, _At about four o'clock I roinembered reading that flauucl was a good thing to chew in order to assuage thirst, our sufferings from this cause becom ing very great. •Mr Horrocks found a pie^e, whioh we divided into fragments about IJ, inches square, and theso we sucked. Uur tongues were very much swollen, and we felt thirst more- than hunger. I should mention that after we had been in the boat some Utile time Mr Hollies, waa washed into the so_, and the ladies were very inuc' frishtencd. Mr "Heniy threw an o.r to him, and the second officer swam back. On the second morning the third officer'(Mr Higgins) went cut of his mind, and a.k-d to iie down at the bottom of tho boat, and one of the ladies held him there; but eooa ho j jumped up aud , commenced throw ing the .0-18 into . the sea. Once he jumped overbo.rd, and waa rescued, out he jumped again aud was drowned. He cried out that he had lost £60 there, and mu.t go and look for it; and then he fancied he was riding iv a gig, and wanted to stop at the corner and get s .mething to drink. My little girl Victoria became very bad at this time, and Mr Holness whs con tinually. asking the seven Chinamen to pull off some of their clothes for us, for they wero well provided. They refused, sayiug 1No; me catchee cold;' and this very nearly caused a mutiny. The second officer had to threaten the Chinamen with a hammer, bnt I was able to secure the weapon? My little girl sang "Eternal Father, strong to save," and cried, ' I am sure wo shall be saved, mamma. I am sure there will be a ship coming soon.' We did indeed sight two orthreevessels,andono steamer, and Eaw the people on deck, but thoy did not appear to see üb. Finally, we were sighted by the Frencu steamer Mon tataire, t,f La Ilochelle, after being ia the

boat three days and two nights. Aa they 1 approached the French sailors cried oufto ' us, ' Shut your eyes— don't look,' meaning [ that we appeared so ghastly they could not bear the sight, When we reached the ship Mr -tjaftlness bad blood and f.otli on his I lips. The ladies were all handed up as soon as possible, and the second mate left the cutter last. In less than five minutes tlio tables were covered with eatables and hot lea and wine; but we could not take anything, only a little water. We were there from Sunday until Wednesday morning, when we were land*, d at Boulogne, Mrs Henry, travelling to Singapore with Iter husband, another survivor, relaied her ; experiences as follows: "On the Thum ■ day night Ihe water broke into the cabins We were then in bed, and the gentlemen wcreattea. I was very sea-sick, Sixiimei the water forced its way in, t-nd tho sixth time it was fatal. We all rush d for [tho saloon, and my husband got us upon tho table. Mr Hoirocks went for ward to tbe captain, but as he was nn ihe bridge he could not come, but he sent tho secoud engineer and carpenter. 1 wa« ear ned, and also the little child of Mrs Mann, to the engine-room, where wo s.w Mis Mann and her daughter. We stopped there uatil we were called to get into the boat, and the last I can remember is s.eing tbe captain standing on thebridge and smoking his cigar. He helped us to get into the boat, The Chinese were all praying. .Afierwards we saw nothing but wreckage, and then I lost ray senses.. On recovetiDg my consciousness I felt a shower of ball. Then about an hour and a half after we left Ihe wreck the secoud officer was washed overboard, and my husband helped him in. The third officer jumped into the sea, but was rescued, and again went over board during the night and wag lost. I felt the exposure to the cold very much, 'Ihe Chinese were very well cladf but would not give up any thing. I had a large brown shawl, but it w.is used for a signal-flag", and all 1 had except my night-dress was a pair of tte captain's trousers. We had nothing on our heads or feet. Mr Horrocks and Mr Henry had their trousers and shirt-3, for they had stripped When baling water out of the ship. When thirst became very great, I began to ! chow picc;s of my flannel vest. During ' the whole time water was being baled out of the boat, and I laid down on a worsted petticoat and stopped a leak. We saw one steamer, and I could see a man on the bridge. The vessel had a black hull and funnel with a white band. Her deck fittings were all bright. The French cap tain, as we afterwards heard, was looking at this steamer when he noticed us on the other side. He came to us in half-an-hour. »t first we were taken for fishermen until the men were seen standing up." Mrs Honockssays :"I was very bad in deed, and nearly dead. My tongue clove to my mouth, and I should have drunk sea water, but I was too weak to get up for it. A handkerchief was pissed round damped with salt water, with which we moistened our necks and foreheads to lessen our sufferings. A flannel vet I bad waa divided amongst us to suck in little pieces. The captain of the Kenmure Castle de_erv.s a good deal of prake.

AUCKLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.

Tua annual soiree in connection with tbe Auck'aud Sunday-school Union was held at St. James's Hall last evening. At the meeting after tea, tbe spacious hall was densely packed; there must have been fully 700 per.oss present. Mr Josi>.h Clifton Firth, President of the Union, pre sid.d, :.nd the principal officers of the organisation were accommodated with seats on the platform. After a few prefatory re marks by the Chairman, the Rev J. Guy engaged in prayer, and ihe choir sang an anthem. The Xcv MrMacfarlane spoke on the importance of Sunday-school teaching, though he said he had no sympathy with those who said that Sunday-school teaching was moro important than preaching, or preaching more important than teaching. "A Sunday-school teacher should have capa city, perspicacity, and should try to be effi cacious in all-his thinking and mode of work. The chairman then spoke on the potency of the Sunday-school in moulding tne characters of future men and women. In the cour.e of his remarks he referred to modern scepticism, wbicb he looked on as the darkest blot on the civilization and science of the nineteenth century. The day was not tar distant when they would have to consider the secular school system from a different standpoiut,from what they now did. Iv conclusion, he addressed practical words of encouragement to Sun day-school teachers, aud bade them go on with courage with their work. Me then called on Mr Cox, who read a brief report re the Scriptuie examination recently conducted under the auspice i of the Onion. Upwards of 290 competed out of 18 schools; these w_re divided into three classes or divisions. 'Ihe first division com prised competitors over 16 years of age, second from 12 to 16 years, and third those under 12 years. The olde.t competitor was 24 years of age, and the youngest, seven. The portion of Scripture chosen was the 3rd, 4th, and sth chapters of the Acts, and the examination was conducted under the supervision of six superintendents.—The p.iz.-s and certificates were then distributed by the chairman as follows :— -i Senior Division.—lst prize, Clara A, r-draiston; 2nd, Clara J.
