THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7846. THE DISASTER 10 TH: JOHN MILTON. FULL PARTICULARS OF THE WRECK. From Twenty to Thirty Lives Lost—Twelve Bodies Found on the Beach— Total Deateuce tion of the Vessel—Description of the Dead—Fhe Coroner's Inquest, dc. — We purlished im the Hrrarp of yesterday some ad- ditional ioformation in regard to the wreck of the ship Joon Milton, off Moniank Point, Long Island. Immedi- mely on receipt of the intelligence we sini 4% reporter to tho acene of the disaster, for the purpose of obtaining all ‘we particulars, and of presentivg an «courte and re- Mable account of the facts »nd circumstances attending the disaster, so (er ag they could be ascertained. The fol- owing is the result of his inquiries among the people keving near that part of the Long Island coast where the @saster occurret. It may be wel! to state, however, that @ note single incividual of the whols crew escapad from the wreck of the iH fated ship, all the particulars of the wreck wif never be revealed:— The sbip John Milton, Captain Ephraim Harding, it appears Jeft New Bedford, to which port she belongs, on the 8th of December, 1856, for San Francisco, where she errived op the 17th of June, 1857. |rom San Francisco sbe proceeded to ‘he Chincha Islinds, and after receiving ber cargo of guano started on her retarn voyage. On the 13tb inst. ebe sighted Cape Henry and came to mmchor at Hampton Roads. Here Captain Sarding went ashore and proceeded to Norfolk, it is presumed to telegraph 10 the consignecs ut New York—Barreda Bro- therr—for inetructions in rrgari to the port at which he should diecharge his cargo. On the 16th orders were re- ceived to proceed to New York, and on the sama day the verse] was got under wiy and went to nea. This ia all that js known of her previous to the discovery of the wreck off Montauk Point, and of the bodies of tweive of the crew, which were found >long the bexch, at a dis- ‘ance of izom three to five wils ‘rom the point where yo strack Montauk Point is at (he ca term extremi y of Long island, and the whole line of co st lsadmg up to it 1s ex ceedingly bleak and desolate at thir season of the year, This particular part of the ishing hes more the ap yeatan Of & darren wilderness than asec el snd civilizedeonsiry, acd is entirely un-belteres from the eiemeats, Daring worm the sea breaks with terrible fury on the beach, rendering it almost impostidle for any «iranded vassal Wo tecape destruction, About tive miles west of the point is a reef of rocks which liew a few feet below the surface of + water, and which we believe are ths only rocks to bo furd along this part of the coast. They lie at 4 distance of abont tures quarters of a mile from the sbore, ani the wavca sometimes break upon them even at low tine Here it was that the stip Jobo Milton struck; but what preciso time is not avd perhaps never will koown, This part of the sad narrative is only a matter @ conjecture, for, as we bave said, not @ single person tecaped to tell the story of the wreck and the sufferings ‘bat terminated the lives of all on board. The first pereon who discovered ihe wreck was Mr. Thomas J. Molford, the Keeper of the Govercment House. From the statement which this officer hes given, It appears that, according to his usual custom, be went down along the ‘beach between Sand 6 o'clock on Saturday afvernoon, woen be perceived the iragmeuts of a wreck strowed akepg the sbore On the reef of rocas already spoken of be discerned what appeared to be @ part of the hull of a ship, avd which seemed (0 de heid there by aa anchor The masts were gone, nearly the whole of the deck had Deen swept off by the sea avd tbe only part that beld to gether was the bow. The portions of the wreck that had been waebed ashore showed how complete the destruc ton had been. Here in one confused pile was a mast and yards, the sails and rigging al) piled together in one inextri cable mass, there were the shatt: red frogments of what hat ence Deen asofa; bere tne remain of rokeachsirs, tables and other articles of cabio furniture. Oo some parts of the wreck there were traces of «uno, but as the great daik of the bull remains on the reef, but « very amail por- ‘Jon of the cargo cam» asbore on the pieces of the wreck, Mr. Muiford aiso found thres of the ship's boats tying on be beach, one of which ba! @ bole stove in its side, \t is aamed from comivg ib Cor some of t eapars The supposition ta regard to these boats is, Uhat the captain and cre # aitempted to oscape, when they fone) thet there was no 000 of saving the woesel. This ‘weppoei-ion is rencered more propadle by the fact that Peery one of the Db dies w#hob were saoseqaeety found ‘were very warmly cla) ap! buttoned ap to tae cha.

He waa lying up some fect from the ‘wator’a eign, and the wwerks in the sand would ferm to indicate that he had wriked a little way.
