The Wreck of the Steamer Varuna. FORTY-EIGHT LIVES LOST. Horrible Fate of the Pas- sengers. Thirty-Six Persons Drowned in Their Staterooms. TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF THE SURVIVORS Sixty Hours in a Storm at Sea in an Open Boat. Thrilling Account of the Disaster. SAVANNAH, Nov. 6, 1870. On the 20th of October, at ten P. M,, the steamship Varuna foundered inthe Guif Stream, thirty miles Irom Jupiter [nlet, on the Fiorida coast, during one of the most terrible hurricanes witnessed in that jatitude, The steamer was thrown on her beam ends and went down, only allowing time for two Ifeboats to pub off. One of these, containing Cap- taln Spencer, the engineers and firemen, ten in all, was carried down with We vessel, while the other one, contalning seven of the crew, was fnaliy beached on Jupiter Inlet, two of the men, Samact Mc@ormack, flreman, and James Flynn, seaman, losing their lives in tho breakers, The remaining five, W. Kirtland, second mate; Wm. Wallace, quartermaster; Thomas Glennon, James Burns an@ George Watson, seamen, arrived here to-day on the Nick King, from Florida, and ieft for New York on the Magnolia, Wallace’s account says>— We left New York on Saturday night at sevep o’clock, and had fine weatuer up to the morning of October 20, when @ wind sprung up from the south, At noon there was a moderate gale. As the sun went down it was blowing a perfect huricane. All went well until eight o'clock, when the wind shifted suddenly to the southwist, when the ship became unmanageable, and, having a list to port, the sea commenced rushing on board on the lee side of the snipf staving in bulwarks and the cabin door. We tried to get her off before the wind and put on all the steam we could, but it was no use. I was af the wheel and we brought her up te tne wind again and tried to fix the cabin door, but the sea wag rushing on board to such @ degree that the men could not work, We then twistea her jib to pay her head off, but it was biown inta ribbons, a& though it had been snugly furled. By this time the sea had stove in the engine house and was rushing down into the fire and engine room at a rate of many tons per minute and, the ehtp hst- ing over more, she was fast filing. I lashed the wheel after I felt the engines stop and went aft to get some water—I was very thirsty—and then mamaged to get on the hurficane deck, when I found the two lee boats were gone from © ship and the men were getting the ether boats ready. I was still so thirsty that I came back to the Captain's room and got a drink there, and opened the weather cabin door to sce how the passengers were behaving, but did not seq a soul, as they were all in their staterooms, unable te come out en account of the suip’s lying on hes beam ends, I then came on the hurricane ceck and got into the after boat, with six others then in. It was lying on the deck, watting for the ship to go down, she then being nearly on er veam ends. The captain, mate and engineers, ten in all, were Im the boat, @miFin less than five minutes the boats were afloat, but in such @ heavy sea as that I wag afraid we would get foul of the ship's rigging. While t he vessel was sinking the other boat hailed and asked uy if we Were all right, and after this tha Seamer fot foul of their boat and took her down with the ship. The boats were Ingereoll’s metallic lifeboats, and I think the captain’s boat got clear and came Up again, a8 a boat bottom up was seen two hours after, but no persun wag init, After the ship's masthead was out of sight w thought ourselves all nigne, 4s tue slip was clear of us; but we counted without a host, for @ he. vy sea capsized the boat, but all managed alter great exer- tions to right her and get in agutu. The ship went down at two P, M., and midnight the weather moders and was still, We balied the boat ous, after remaining in her full of water throughout the night, using for that pur- pose the rudder and shees on board, our hats and everything cise haviag heen lost. We then went With the fea, which was heavy to the northeast. At ten o'clock we got on the Bahama banks, end 80 intended to steer south for Abacoa, About three o'clock wo saw a sip and pulled fer her, but darkness setting in we did not catch her, We began to feel pretty thirsty by this time, put still had hopes tor the morrow; so we let the boat drift and went to sleep. Next morning the wind wus springing up from northeast when we saw a brig at anchor on the banks and puiled for her, but the wind increased so that we could not reach her. We then squared away for the Flerida coast, with an oar for @ mast and two shirts and @ piliow- case for a@ sail. We made Jupiter lighthouse about eight. At hall-past ten on the 20th were near the beach, and took down sail and put our shirts on our hacks and they prepared to beach ner. ‘The first breaker was 4 whtch did no harm. ‘The next breaker which struck us Was @ most dreadful one, aud swept Mc- Cormick and Fiinn off the boat. The poor i¢ilowa could not reach it again, being 40 much exhausted, ‘The remaining five o!amdered into the boat again, and the breakers landed us sale. We slept under the boat that night ape beach and got to the light. heuse next morning, after veing sixty hours without food or water. The hardships encountered by the five men were terrible, and tongue fails to express the suffering endured by them while braving the fury of the ele. ments for sixty hours in an open boat, without food or water except a small onion served to moisten arched, aching lips. After being cast on the beach by the breakers in view of the lighthouse at Jupiter inlet only the second mate and a seamen were strong enough to feebly di themselveg to the building for «assistance, ‘ne rest i; exhausted, unul the keeper sent a boat to take then away. The party remained at the lighthouse until Tuesday, when they were carried up to [ndian river and landed at fiends Font, From Hands’ Point ine party was kindly sent on by mall by the int to prise, and then transperted to Jacksonv lle, eré «their =¢ondition is Weg stp looked afer by the Collector of Customs. After leaving Jacksonville tho party ianded at Savannah yesterday. The passengers, thirty-six in number, without doubt, all perished in theilg state rooms. When the steamer suddenly lurched over on her beam ends the water poured into the cabin, where they were securely fastened to die a hormble death without even battling for existence. It would have been madness, the sur- vivora state, to have attempted to rescue them, as the cabin was @ trap into which was certain death to venture, Horrihie he thought 1s, nothing could be done by the officers and crew but save themselves. A fegii apprehension and uneasiness scems to ha among the passengers, according to the of the survivors; for one or two days ee to the disaster, whtie during the tumult of the hurricane, when {t Was at its flercest, their demeanor was the extreme of fear and terror, and many were paln- ae yee a of their coming fate.
