The fishormon on the shoro got to work, howovr, and suceoodod in taking the sur- vivors to tho main land, sfter o dosporate strug- glo with tho favos. Mr. Brady accounts for tho acoidont in this way: Thoro are two lights, ono on Dont's Tal- and, at the entrance to Holifax harbor, and ono at Capo Bambro, twenty milos below. The piloy ovidently mistook tho latter for tho former, and, 28 00n'as tho light was on tho right, turned in a8 ho thought to Halifax harbor, but roally into sn indentation botweon Capo Sambro and Capo prospoct. Mosghor's Hoad, a largo sunkon raof, lies botwoon, and he ran upon it undor fall head of ateam. (7o the Associated Preas.)
