Tho Steemshlp Olty of Brussels Los: Xlor Ruddoer in n Storm, anid Drifts for Sovernl Hnys at tho Moercy of the Winds and Wavos. ‘Wo aro pormitted to publish the followlng ox« tract from a privato lotter, datod Lavenroor, March 11, 1873, * * ¢+ You have loarned from my dls- patch homo that I waa a passonger on the Oity of Brussols, which sailed from Livorpool on the 20th of last month, and lost her rudder In n honvy galo, whon four days out from harbor. Wo woroe twolvo days st men after our disastor; nt tho time of which none of us thought of seoing land, ovon undor tho most fortunnte circum- stancos, within o month; and all the tinte wo stood in grent danger of total shipwrock: ; We lett Quoonstown on Friday, the 22d, and made over 600 milos by Bunday noon. Then wa onoountorod a hoavy haad-wind, which incronsed stoadily, blowing a galo all day Monday, so that our run for that dny was only 200 miles, You ceannot imagino, or I doscribe, the wild tempeat of Monday night. Wavo aftor wavo camo dash- ing over us, carrying ovorboard tho forward bridgo, and. smashing our broakwator. Tho bridge was supported by slx solid wrought-iron pillars, noarly 4inches indiamotor; and thoy woro twistod and broken ns so many atraws, The broakwator was a solid placo of timbor, 20 inchos by 86 inclies, atrotolung at right anglos across tho declr, in front of the foromast,—its object bolng to break {ho forco of sons shipped ovor the bows. This was atruck by s heavy wave, and broken as though it wore no stronger than & pipe-stom. Towards morning, an awful sen struclk us, carrying away ruddor and rudder-post, lonving tho ship wholly unmanageablo, and com- plotoly at the moroy of tho winds and wavos, The rudder-poat was wrought iron, sbout 10 inchos In diametor, and it scoms impossible that water could nct on 80 small n surfnco with forco enough to break tho Jwab. One would think that it would bo twiated from tho ship boforo bronking. The uppor part of the ruddor and post romained intact, whilo all below (somo 21 fact), compris- ing sovon-oights of its wholo longth, was swept oway, The vessel now foll away from the wind, briuging us into tho trough, to bnttle witha boam-goa,—tho most atraining position a ship can nssumo. Betting tho mizzon topsail brought us up a little, but wo could not lay to mearor than eight points from the wind. But I am bound to eay that no ship could have bohaved botter in that trying gomt(on thon did tho Brussols. Though tho eavy waves brought o groan from each plato, sho rode over thom nll. Bho scomed n grnnl Joviathan, assailed on all sides, wounded, and sufforing the groatest afi:my, yet ondowed with a oourago and resolution that would oundurs to tho ond, {irm and unshakon. The officors and crow beliayved nobly. Tho firm, manly faco of Capt. Brooks never changed from {ts confident, cheor- ing oxpression, and ho imbued his passongers with o hopo and confidence which porhaps Lo did not fool Limself. ‘Wo lost our helm on the morning of Fab, 25, and was sighted by tho Gity of Paris, Capt. Leeoh, on the morning of March 1. You may well imagine that tho intervoniug days dragged along thelr slow course wearily enongh, I used to cnvy the passengers who woro in the second stogo of son-siokness. Yon know, in tho firat stagoe, you foar that you will dio, nnd, inthonoxt, that you will not. It was a glorious sight to seo tho Paris bearing down to our rescuo, flrst wo thought sho would pnes us uanoticed, but the boom of our cannon, and tho distress-signals from evory spar, called her atiention to our cone dition ; and our rolfef wasinoxprossible when wo saw hor lot go hor head-sails, aud turn slowly from her course. I did not appreciate how high tho soa wag running until tho Paris was rolling and pitching on the waves, o quarter of a mile distant, Bometimos the wholo ship, with scrow out of water, would bo visiblo on the crest of the huge wavoes; and again pho would sink in their hollows, until topmasts alona wero visible, Sho lur by us over threo dnys bofore the son calmed sufficiontly to adinib of communieation. Then wa succoeded in attaching tho two ships by tho hoavy chain auchor cables (having broken tiwo hawsors, onp of 11 inclies aud ono of 18 inches) ; and, favorod bytho calmast of weathor, wo woro towed snfe to Quoenstown, reaching that port on tho ovoning of the Tth inst, It isn romarkable fact that tho cablo, aftor towing us 8o many miles, porforming its work so well, ehonld have brokeu just as wo reachod tho on- trance of the harbor, and had four lorgo tugs to afford their protection. Haviug bad this oxporionce, I do not rogret it. And yot nothing would induco mo to re-oxpor- jonco tho long, auxious days, and sloopless nights, that I passed whilo wo woro alono upon o stormy ocosn, and poworless to direct our course. Wo hnd on bonrd some forty cabin and 460 stoerago passongors. Theso woro ol trana- forred to tho City of New York, at Qucenstown, and pailed rgain for Amoerica, within a fow hours of their renching Queenstown. ‘This_prompt- neus roflocts great erodit on the Inman Liua, With regard to this h-lrp: Wwo wero more than fortuuato in being picled up so soon by tho Pana, A storm might oasily have driven us far out of tho courss of stemmers crossing tho At- lantic, and wo should then havo drifted forweeks and maybo monthy,—possibly have gouno down, Jonving our fate, liko that of the ill-starred City | of Doston, forovor unknown.
