As tutimated In Tim Ternune of yerter> duy, the King was sunk deck ty by collision with the Stanton, The particulars of tho disaster, 13 alvento Tua Trinuxe reporter by Capt. d, C. Dunbar, of the King, are as follows: ‘The enl- lsion occurred betweon 3 and 2 o’alock Friduy morning, about sixty miles distant from Grand River. ‘Tho night was what might bo called clear—not particularly bright overhead, but sumiciently elear tr seo x constderable distance on the water, Tho wind was about vaste Bouthenst, and the King was standing for tho west shore with her port tacks abonrd, yet about threo polnta free, and moving through the water nt tho rato of six miles per hour. Capt. Dunbar, whose Watch it was, saw tho light of a vessel, which afterward proved to be tho Stanton, head of jim, while standing on the weather elie of the King, nt least fifteen minutes before tha collis- fon, He ordered the nun ut tho wheel to keep tha Ring away alittle. The order was oboved Prompily. After ‘she had* worked off about i point and a half. he made out the red: ight of the Stanton, The King now was kept away still farther, to make sure of clearing the np- ol. The greon light of the Stuns fon wis deen next, when the King wis again kept away until she had the wind dent aft.” By this tima Capt. Dunbar could platy diseern the Stanton bearing down upon bis |, and he ‘wns powerless to pyold the collision that fate lowed, The King wis struck on tho port bow, nearly xbronst of the foremust, and cut down at lenst four strakes of outside planks deep, fhiso into ut Joust three fect on deck. 10 stomof the Stanton opened a gaping hole di- reetly through tho hull not leas than eight feet in length, on n Ine with the deck, enrrying auar autalde plink, fraines, celling, stimetions, rail, and deck plank, Tho forestuysnll of tho King Was also torn, and two forward chaln-plates, 24 well ws tho spritanil yard, carried away, Ten minutes after the vessels came together the Klug was deck to in the water, and her deck- fond of slabs, a8 far aft ag tho mafnmast, washed overbourd, Fortunately all of er Blept. in the eabln, and therefore thelr tyes were not. endangered.
