There is ne doubt, hew- ‘tver, according to.the statements.of the oMeers ‘and passengers, that the Atlantic was.not properly eoaled for the voyage at this season. Her passage ‘was not tempestuous. She made 900 amiles.in*the Grst three days. Gales were encountered on the 25th - and 26th which lowered her speed to 196-and.118, but on the 27th she made 244 miles; 28th, 189 miles; ‘B0th, 235 miles; Sist, 264 miles, and-on Monday, a Calm day, but 160.miles, The ship had then passed Halifax, nut, having on board only 130tons.of coal, ‘was put back.

These glared so intensely that their fixed look of despair was a force unequalled by any save that of @female body, and then, indeed, was the agony of death met angrily, fiercely, furiously, depicted with startling vividness on rigid lineaments and firm- aet features. POSITION OF THE WRECK. Leaving this grievous sight and taking boat once more, the visitor was landed on the nerrow neck of Mar’s Island, and traversing rapidly came fallin sight of the wreck itself, nearly covered by the breaking seas that washed constantly over it. On Golden Rule Rock itself a portion of the bews of the ilfated. steamer still showed above the surf, and directly in front of the spectator the masts projected from that portion of. the hull which bas apparently slid back from the reck. THE DEBRIS ON THE ROCK. At Golden Ral@Reck, on which the ship struck, boats innumerable were cruising around the fallen Monster, not daring, however, to approach too closely, for fear of the rush of the waters. The shore was thickly strewn with débris—planks, Masts, beams, yards, staves, boxes, coops, broken boats, Oars, ropes, skylight frames and all the strange objects cast up from the Man of the Qcean. The rock was crowded by men anmious to secure @ ahare of the huge quantity of lumber that was being continually washed up. United with Swedish and Danish letters were young fruit sap- lings, defaced, photographs, iron bolts and frag- ments of books in diferent languages. But the sea fan too high to permit tne employ- ment of divers or the approach to the sunken hull, and the various crafts bosied them- selves sccuring the heaying main in search of bodies and floating cargo.

One Of the men broke through a window and got/out, and the boy did the same, one kind hearted indl- vidual pushing him through before he nad made the egress himself, Once outside he HELD ON BY THE ROPES Until himself and his companions were rescued by the life boat. What became of his parents and brother he did not know, but is certain: that they ‘were drowned, The family were on their way to New York at the invitation of two married daugh- ‘ters settled there. THE CREW A BAD LOT, i The.crew'was one ofthe hardest that was tver @athered in apy vessel, They were picked up about the Liverpoo) wharves and docks, and it was With the greatest diMculty that they were kept under control during the voyage. ‘The storekeeper says that one of them made an attempt to snatch his watch and chain one night, but was fotled. On another occasion, durinr yyy storm of the 26th March, he states that 601", gy the crew attempted to break into the spit’; rants ana it was fora while feared: that force Weta nave to be used to prevent them. “When the boats came from the shore to rescue the 8 rvivors. the sailors repeatedly pushed, the passe‘ygers aside or knocked them down and Jampes, ‘Into the boats themselves. e Two Hundred ‘Persons Crushed to Death— "“errible Incidents. Some Of the incidents of the disaster,» as related‘by the survivors, are harrowing. At one time Quring the woary watch before dawn the 0%e.boom broke lgose from its fastenings, and “swinging around, instantly crashed to death about two hundred persons who were gathered on the house on deck: Several passengers are reported to have Deen drowned by life boats which, not being Property managed, overturned and drowned the unfortunates before assistance could be rendered. Some of them who had life-buoys ana endeavored tejreach the rock by means of the line from the ‘Wessel, not having them properly adjusted, but on to stay ‘here until I could yet the boats clear to put her and the boy into. The ship suddenly listed “dyer and they dst their hold Om ‘the; rai) and were swept overboard and, sunk ‘to rise uO more. I think they havé some friends or relations at Yonkers, Westchester county, N. ¥,, as J received an address; te the above esfedt the night before. William. Purdy, quartermaster, ‘was the first who attempted to swim ashore, but when going he said, ‘Goodby, Thomas; will ‘you ‘come with me? Treplied that I wanted/ tesave the boy and his mother. ‘Then I saw the boy..and mother were. swept: / wit Bwam. om shore,’ @nd wher landed on tne ‘rock ® passenger calted ‘out, “Rave. me,” whichIdid, J traversed from rock tofrock, faling sometimes ‘from exhaustion, with tls aman with me, uftil I found THE SIGNAL PORT, aplace-wnich the fishermen hava/te Yookout and signalize boats, I then called oat for help, Two old men and a boy came to our assistance, and I ‘went'te the house with them ana procured a line, and tien retraced my steps vo the beach, where Isaw 8 level passengers and crew upen thr rock. Speak- ‘man; the quartermaster; swam towards me with a line from the rock, and I hove my une and caught hisn and pulled him ashore. As.soon as I had done sowe hauled in the line which he had fromthe Tock and made fast the end of wy line to it, so. as to make it stronger. As soon as I got the line amade fast I told those who were on the rock to “come on ashore one by one, as‘l would save them. THE FIRST MAN .SAVED in this way I do not know, but:the second one was Mr. Brady, the thira oMcer; J saved in thisman- mer sbout seventy, as near as I can remember. In some instances, as the ne was some distance overhead and the persons too exhausted, I had to reach down and pull them up; some I had ‘to go into the water, which was out of my depth, for, with @ line around my waist. In these cases the two old men would drag me and the man I rescued ashore. I remained there from four o’clock till nine, when] fell down through ex- haustion. One of the stewards and somebody else canie and relieved me, and I was carried away toa house where I was kindly cared for. As soon asl recovered sufficient strength, I was conveyedina ‘boat to the mainland, and went to Mr. Ryan’s, the } magistrate, where I was kindly treated and attended to, as I had the cramp. The Chief Steward and another man, who threw his arms around the steward’s neck when coming ashore on the rope, were drowned at my feet. The reason that I could not render assistance in this case was that the two old men went away witlfa man that Ihad rescued, as they feared he would perish; therefore there was no one present to haul me ashore if I had jumped off the rocks after them. Quartermaster Rayiance’s Statement. Quartermaster Charles Raylance says:—About twenty minutes past three o’clock I hove the log, and the ship at that time was going at the rate of twelve knots per hour. I went into the aft wheel- house and was looking through one of the win- dows, when I fancied I saw breakers on the starboard side. I then ran forward to the lookout Man on the bridge, and I asked him if he did not .think there were breakers on the starboard side. Be reported to the second Officer, who telegraphed to the engine room to Trexerse. the engines full speed astern. We both ther jumped of the bridge together on to the deck. Then he gave me orders to call all hands on deck. I rap ferward and burst the quartermasters’ room open with my foot, and all of them, three im number, got out.through the panel of the door. Then I amd one of them went aft and got out the rockets and firéd about eight, when the rocket box rolled away from us, The Captain gave orders to get the boats clear and save the passengers. I and the Captain went to No. 3 boat and were getting her clear when he asked me if the plugs were in her; I told him they were net, As the passengers were huddled togeth- er in the bottom of the boat, crying, I COULD NOT GET THE PLUGS IN, ‘The Captain then passed the order around for every one to look after himself. I, with the Cap: tain and a passenger, got into the main riggingand atopped there. The ship had previously keeled over and I heard the Captain ask if any quartermasters were in the rigging. Il answeréd yes, here is one, I then went up aloft by the matntopmast rigging, as the Captain gave me orders to unreave the sig- nal halyarda to heave ashore. When I got up aloft the maintopsail brace was carried away, and I had tocome down again. At that time the lines were ashore, and I agsisted the Captain in getting to the Jorward rigging. The Captain and I cut the fore- brace and passed it to Mr, Brown, fourth omicer, ‘who sent it on and passed it ashore by one of the other lines. By this time passengers were GOING ASHORE BY THE ROPEa, and the Captain gave orders for the passengers to jump.and do the best they could for themselves.

Daring this time two large boats were being launched, Which went to the rock, aud were taking passen- lower part of their bodies, were Noating with their heads dewn, and in this way many were ‘drowned before reaching tne rock, One young man, with no clothing save a shirt and vest, and two life-buoys fastened around his body, leaped imto the water and attempted to reach the rock, The passengers who give the statement say they endeavored to dissuade him fom the attempt, but he persisted, and when finally they were rescued and landed on shore, the body of the young man who perisned in his at- tempt was the first they saw, aud the life-buoys were still on the body, A BAD CASE. Among the passengers was a native of the old ‘sountry who had been in the United States fer some time, and had lately returned to England to ‘bring his wiie and family of five children to the hothe he had provided for them in the new world, They were on board the ill-fated Atiantic, and father, motner and children all perished. Several of the passengers whe were landed from the steamer Velta yesterday were considerably bruised about the body and lower limbs. One man had both legs broken and others were se sore from being knocked against the rocks that they were scarcely able to stand; Three or four had to be sent to the hospital last night. THE JAM IN THE GANGWAY. The survivors say it was @ featful sight to wit- ness the manner in which many of the unfortunate persons met their death. Unable to reach the deck, in consequence of the jam in the gangway, several rushed through the porthole, only to be seized in the icy grasp of the merciless waves and dashed to:death against the sides of the ship.
