Shameful Inhumanity of the Officers of the Bombay. fo Attention Paid to the Oneida’s Calls for Assistance. Heroic Conduct of Commander Williams and the Other Officers, But Two Officers and Fifty-four Men Saved from a Crew of Qye Hun- dred and Seventy-six Souls, Prompt Aid Forwarded to the Scene by the Japanese Government. . San Francisco, March 1, 1870. ‘Tne ship Benefactress arrived from Yokohama, Japan, to-day. She brings full particulars of the loss of the United States steamer Oneida, which left Yokohama on tne 234 of January, homeward bound. The steamer left her anchorage im the afternoon and the accident occurred at seven the same even- ing. The United States Minister visited her in the forenoon and received the usual salute, and the guns were reloaded with the expectation of replying toa salute from a Russian gunboat to Mr. Delong, The salute, however, was not given, and the guns remained loaded. As the Oneida steamed out of the harbor the crews of the various vessels and men at work im the port gave cheers and wished her a happy voyage. On passing out of the harbor her fires were banked and steam blown olf. While the officers were at dinner, at about seven o'clock, the lookout man shouted “Steamer lights ahead,” and a midshipman gave the order to port helm. Everything seemed quiet on board the other steamer, This leads to the belief that she had not observed the Oneida, al- though her lignts were burning brigntiy. The steamer, which proved to be the Bombay, ot the Peninsular and Oriental line, came right on and atrack the Onelda on the starboard side, abaft the wangway, about halfway between the main and mizzen rigging. A hole was cut through which the whole interior of the ship was visiple. The binnacle, wheel and rudder were carried away and two men standing at the wheel were instantly killed. The Bombay did not stop after crashing through tne Oneida, though the guns of tke latter, which happened to be loaded, were almost instantly dred to attract her attention and bring her pack. Orders were given to lower the boats, but only only one lifeboat was available, the others baying been crushed, The lifeboat was manned by Dr. Sud- dards, the boatawain and fifteen of the crew. Five guns were fired, but before the sixth could be dis- charged the Oneida sunk—within ten minates alter she was struck. None of those saved saw % man or heara a voice on board the Bombay. They report that when it became evident that there was no hope of saving the ship the oficers gathered around Captain Wil- liams, and he was heard to say if the snip went down he would go with her. The lifeboat was obliged to leave the sinking ship to avoid being swamped. After pulling about for a white, the crew of the Ivfepoat seeing none of the crew floating, not one of all the 169 who went down, unwillingly bent thelr boat's head to landward, about five miles distant. On landing the natives kindly treated them, and they obtained the assistauce of a guide and started to walk to Yokohama, which they reached at daylight the next morning. The Bom- bay was immediately ordered to the scone of the wreck and succeeded im saving thirty-nine men who had got into a cutter which floated when the ship went down. Several otner vessels—one with Mintster Delong on board—pro- ceed to the scene of the disaster during the day, but no more lives were saved. The Japanese gov- ernment sent boats and apparatus to search for the wreck and if necessary to buoy the spot. The passengers on board the Bombay were quite sur- prised when they heard of the calamity which had befallen the vessel they had struck, but declare they neither heard any request from the Oneida to stay by them nor minute guns fired. A naval court mare tial has been demanded by the captain of the Bombay. ‘The officers and men of the Onelda numbered 176, only fifty-six of whom, including Dr. Suddards aud two junior officers, survived the disaster. The following ts a list of the saved:—Isaac J. Yates, master; James Suddards, surgeon; Nicholas Ander- gon, acting boatswain; W. W, Crowatnshield, cap- tain’s clerk; William Anderson, Thomas Bigby, William A. Bennett, Henry Benuett, Michael Boyle, William Britney, Charies Brown, Pat Cunningham, F. J. Connolly, Robert F.

The captain of the Bombay aid not stop to rescue those on board, nor did he on his Srrivai here report the accident or inform the authorities, The first known of the affair was the next morning, when Dr. Suddards, the surgeon, with fifteen of the crew, arrived on foot, But two cutters were available, and the officers, almost to & man, refused to take them while @ man remained aboard. Discipline was complete to the last, The sick were all being put into the poats, the officers re- maining at their posts until the ship went down. ‘The only United States government veasel in Japan being the storeship, Minlsier Delong ay obliged to accept from the English, french and Russian men-of-war steamer, steam launches, cutters, &c., @04 11 company witn Colonel Shepard, Consul at eok ena Mr, Fazrington, Droceeded to the acene of the disaster, where all in human power was and is still being done to rescne the sufferers and recover the bodies of the lost. Minister Delong, on bis own responsibility, has chartered the gunboat Aroostook, lately sold by the United States government to private parties, manned her with a mixed crew of the survivors of the Oneida, volunteer citizens and engt- neers furnished by the Russian corvette, and placed her under the command of naval ofMicers and sent her, witn Colonel Shepard to repre- sent him, to the scene of the disaster, while tne Minister himself is making a thorough investigation by @ naval court of inquiry. Minister Delong ts en- ttled to great praise ior his prompt and earnest action, ‘The position of the Oneida was to-day ascertained by @spar, which at low tide rises four or five feet above the water. No bodies have yet been found, Had the Bombay sent her boats to the assistance of the Oneida, all, or nearly all, would have been saved. The feeling of indignation towards Captain Orye is terrible. None but mis company and a iew of his countrymen attempt to shield him. ‘The following 18 a correct list of the officers lost: — Commander—k. P. Williams, Liewenant Conmanders—W. ¥, Stewart and A. W.

The following adaitional facta, by investigation, show there ts q terrible responsibility somewhere else besides with the Bombay. The Oneida, ina late typhoon, lost all but three of her small boats. One of these was cut in two by the collision, leaving but two boats to save i7? men. The last words of Commander Wiliams, when Lieu- tenant Commander Muldaur reported the vessel sinking, were:—f know tt, but whatcan Ido? Iasked for mora boats, and they were not allowed me.” Thus through the negll- gence of somebody and the inhumanity of the Bombay’s oMcers @ battle scarred and historic ship has been sunk and as brave a crew of officers and men as ever stood between her fag and her enemies have been lost to their friends and to their country.
