160 THE ARCTIC CALAMITY. United States Ciroult Court. Before Hon. Judge Betts. PRESENTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES GRAND JURY BSSPECTING THE LOSS OF THE STEAMSR ARCTIC, AND BEMONSTRANCE OF ONE OF THE GRAND JURORS. Jax, 20.—It has been generally known for some weeks past that the United States Grand Jury have had uader investigation the circumstsuces connected with the disaster which befel the steamer Arctic in September last, and great anxiety has been manifested tor the result of their deliberations. This morning they came into Court and made the following presentment, which was read by the Clerk:— PRESENTMENT. To the Hon. Samuel R. Betts, Judge of the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of the State of New Fork. The Grand Jury of the above court have had no »wbject before them, during their recent session, of reater importance than that connected with the cir- cumstances attending the loss of the ocean steamer Arctic, @ casualty inching the ae ae of ie and to an almost unparalleled degree, an: one ph the sympathies of our people were ex- ended from far and near toward the frieads and rela- tives of those who were the sufferers in that event. The attention of those having {n charge the public in- terest seemed imperatively called to a critical examina- tion of the circumstances connected with this occur- rence, with a view to provide remodies against similar accidents in future. Tne Grand Inquest have, there fore, caused to be brought before them such witnesses as could give evidence pertinent to the casualty itself, and others who, irom their nautical experience, were supposed to be compelent to suggest preventives against their recurrence. 3 It appeared from the evidence, that the steamship Arctic, of the Coliins line, Captain J. C, Luce, lett Liverpool on the 20th of September, 1854; that on the 26th a fog was encountered, which continued increas- ing in density at ‘ntervals, until the 27th; that the ship continued under her usual rate of speed, and pur- suing the usual practice under like circumstances, made no use of signals by the bell, whistle or gun, to signify her position. Not long previous to the acci- dont, a passenger asked Captain Luce if they could see through the tog ay far as they could run in three miautes. kes oy Luce replied, “Yea, just about.” the ship was going, it would be about At about 12, or five minutes past 12 0’clock at noon, on the 27th September, the ship was in latitude 52 deg. 45 min., and longitude 52 deg., steering west by compass in 100 fathoms water, by chart, and about fifty miles from land, the fog still contioufng, and the vessel going at the rate of grout twelve miles per hour. At the time mentioned, the man on the look out at his station, dis- covered a’vessel approaching, aud called out “Hard a atarboard,’’ which was repeated by the officer of the deck, (Mr, Baalam,) ani answered by the man at the wheel, Almost instantly thereafter the Arctic was struck about forty feet from her cutwater on her star- board side, by the bow of a steamer, which afterward proved to be the French iron steam propeller Vesta— the result of the collision being, as afterward ascer- tained. to make in the side of the Arctic three holes, two above and one about two feet below the water mark. Capt. Luce, being at the time ia his room, and hearing the word, cameimmediately on deck, ther with seve- ral of the passengers and crew. The Ve ‘was observed, as she passed, to have her bow carried aw: da large number of people was discovered on her d ‘The sig- nal was given to stop the Arctic, and the captain ordered the boats to be lowered. The chiet mate, Mr. Gourlay, with five or six of the crew, put off to the assistance of the Vesta. The Arctic then weat abead and yailed around the Vesta two or three times. Some fifteen or twenty minutes elapsed, when some of the passengers and crew of the Arctic observed that she careened, and at that moment the chief enginear reported to the captain that she was making water very fast, and that she must go ahead ia order to work the bilge-pumps. The order to lower the rema:niog boats was then countermanded by the captain, they being at the time but partially lowered, aad difficult to clear. Mr. Gourlay, in the boat under This cemmand, was een making for the ship, when ths captain called to him, saying, “We cannot wait, the ship must go abead.”” No more was seen of that’ boat and crew, and as the Vesta was at the time lost in the iog, the couclusion was that she had gone down. ‘The order was then given to steer northwest for the land, it being supposed that the leak could be snilicient- ly stopped to enable the vessel to reach shore. Tue fhe nd-pumpa were worked, and all moveable things ware pleced cn the opposite sida of the vessel. The carpenter being let down by a rope to ascertain the nature of the ipjury, reported the hole to be about six or eight feet in one direction, by two in another. By direction of the captain, the carpenter went below to endeavor to cut away and get at the leak on the inside, but failed to find it. Sails were let down with a view to cover the leak, and it was by some proposed to stop the ship's headway, which was by others opposed, and the latter opinion seem: ing toprevail,the shipwenton. Notwithstanding that large iron bars were attached to the sails over the ship’s side, with a view tokeep them in their place, it was found that from the sharp build of the bows and the natural rush of the water along her sides, the deaign was totally ineffectuai. Mr. Gram, a second cabin pas- wenger, with the assistance of Captain Luee and others, erectod a stage over the side of the vessel, and with pillows, blankets and mattresses, attempted to stop the Teak, hut @nsaccessfully. At this juncture the fires in the lover hold were reported to’ be cut; and @ scene of some confusion commenced amoag the coal passers and firemea, who rushed on deck ; being repeatedly ordered by ' the tant engineer to retura te their duty, they complied, but momenta- rily, aad after passing coal into the upper fire, agsin returaed on deck. The second boat was now prepared for the passengers, and a number of ladies and gentlemen were placed in it, with afew of the hands of the ship; but by some misaiavagement in lowering the boat the rope at one end waa let go too # all in the boat but two were lost in the ses. his accident occasioned great consternation among the passengers, and a diversity of opinion was held among them aa to their greater chances of life. Mr. Edward Sanford, one of our most distinguished citizens, expressed his preference for remaining by the shlo, rather than linger out a little lenger existoace in the boat. The ship was at this time going at the rate of about five miles an hour. Soon after, Mr. Beslam, the second mate, was ordered by the captain to man tne third boat and drop astera. He attempted to obey the order; but a number of hands let themselves down by the falls, and from undér the w placed themarlves in the boat. Observing this, and th the boat was fast being filled to her capacity, the captain ordered her to be cut loose. At’ the same time several passengers and hands were, with the captain's knowledge, filling a boat oa the opposite side of the ship; the ship's butcher, who eas one of the num rope unknown to the captain; the boat lett nd has not since been heard from. Mr. Baal- am’s boat picked up several passengers who had jumped from the sbip into the sea—they hai been watching this boat for the opportanity when she left. Meanwhile the x slowly ; those in the boat could near the bell, but the fog ‘prevented a aight of the vessel. Rowing in the direction of the souad, they came in sight of the ship, and met a smaller boat con- taining twenty-six persons; from these seven were taken into Baalam’s boat, making a total of twenty-six in the latter. After come consideration upon the chances of being of service to those on ths ship, and upon the pros pects of their own safety, it was judged best to make for the lar teoring the course that the ship was directed to take betore they left. This was Wednesday, the 27th September, at 2 o'clock, ?. M. The two boats reached land (at Cape Race) on Friday morning the 29th. The fires in the steamer having gone out, the ship could go no further, and at this time tue chief engiaver, with under the excuse of going to the leak, manned the fifth boat. They stopped a moment at the leak and then left the ship—mot having since been heard of, they are supposed to be lost. It was now suggested, for the first time, to construct a raft, and as many spars as could be found were throws overboard. Nothing could be obtained to fasten the spare r but a few spikes avd some rope yarn. carpenter having left, they couli not find implements to work with. The only remaining boat was on the quarter deck, filled with ladies and children, waiting for the snip to go down, thinking that to be their uly chance for safety. Mr, Dorian, requiring this boat to facilitate in constracting the raft, was obliged to re- quest them to leave it. ile this boat was launched many were preparing «mall rafts of doors, settees, &c., Others aasisted in constructing the large raft, The Cap tain detained the oars from the boat, and ordered that it should lay between the ship and’ the raft. Mr. Do- two men in the boat, with axes in their haada, to protect the boat while the raft was being eon structed. The ship st thistime was discovered to be on the point of sinking; arash was made and the boat was shoved outside the raft, and when the ship went down the boat, with thirty-one persons on board, was pushed from the raft an: away by means of pieces of beards, &. m from the raft was taken into the boat, le, the raft, including ladies.
