CWALLOWED BY THE SEA | The Scenes at the Wreck of the Circassian. THE LAST OF THE SHINNECOCKS. How the Life Saving Serviee is Managed on the Atlantic Coast. THE BAROMETER’S WARNING [DY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.1 Sac Hannon, Dee, 31, 1876, Nothing has yet beon seen of the bodies of whe vic- tims of the Circassian disaster, The theory advanced nm the Hexaup of yesterday, that they went to the bot- tom lashed to the rigging, 1s now generally accepted, lvisited the wreck this afternoon, ‘The ship is @ litle higher on the beach than she wus last night, and is gradually breaking into bits. A more bleak and desolate spot than the coast at the site of the wreck cannot be tmagined. A}! day to-day parties came trom far and near to view the wreck, and not a few were from the Shivnecock Reservation. END OF TH SHINNECOCK Rac ‘The flower of the manhood of the small remnant of the Shinnecock tribe were lost off the Circassian, and with their death the tribe dies out, All that now re- main of the Shinnecock people are old men and women and the forlora widows of the unfortunate fellows who were swallowed up by the sea on Saturday morning. ‘Theso Indiaus were, physically, magniticent men, tour of them being over six feet in height. ‘They were no- torious 1 all the eastern end of Long Island for their thritt, frugality and honesty; and, us sailors, they had no rivals. During the early part of lust week u letier was received at the Rest ervation, about twelve miles west of Bridgehamp- ton, from New Bedford, Muss., asking for a crew for a whaling vessel. The more domvstic minded of the men refused to leave their families, and only two men answered the call, Poor fellows! their hopes of homely comforts fell short of their anticipation, ‘Their recent homes on the Reservation were to-day a sceno ot mourning, Desolation had settled on the place, and every housohold regretted the loss of some relative of Diood or affinity. All visitors were eagerly questioned a3 to any news of the bodies of the lost men, but no news came, = ™ i THY DREAR FUTURE, Many of the famiiics bave lost tueir only bread win- ner, and tho prospects oi the tuture are indeed dreary, The Walker family have lost two members, The two brothers Cuifeo are gone, and a first cousin with them, The .old folks baye still one son left, and are consequently not as badly off as the Walkers, The whole male line of the Bunns is extin- guished, and only twelve young men are left of the tribe. The white residents about hore express great regret at the loss ef these Indiuns, who were respected and trusted by all who knew them, WHO WAS TO BLAME? T have made a thorough investigation into the recent disaster with a view to ascertaining who, if anybody, ‘was to blume for the loss of life. That some one was at fault was quite evident, but it was impossible last night to locate the orror, The error in this case was one of judgment and the poor fellows who committed it have paid the dear penalty of their lives. The men on board the Circassian wero warned on Friday morsing that a gale was approaching, and it was suggested to them it would be wise to leave the ship. They refused to heed the warning of those whose opinions should have bad ‘weight and remained on board the ship. [am ine formed on good authority that atnoon on Friday tne | barometer {ell five-tenths man hour anda half, This of itself, without any other warning, should have been Builicient, but the men were fooihardy and remained, About this time Luther Burnett, a tisherman from Soutbampton, who, on account of bis experienc in Managing surf boats, was engaged by the Coast Wrecking Company as a ferryman between tho wreck @nd the beach, went tothe wreck and toid the men that a gale was coming up and they had better iet him ferry them to the beach. REFUSING TO LEAVE THE SiP. Thoy said they were quite safe, and that if it did blow they would be all safe. Burnett tried to reason with them, but it was useless; they would not leave whe ship. He told them that the men ou shore could not be of the slightest serviee to the ship in case a gale did iow, but still they refused to go. When he was leaving the ship he told them they had better give him a line and he would bring it ashore, so that in case anything did happen they would have communication with the shore. They refused to give him the line and he leit them, THE LIFE SAVING STATION BLAMELESS Muck has been suid about the life-saving crew and what might buve been done for the men on board the Cireassian if other wen had been in charge of the boats on shore. No better crew than tho one at Station No, 10 could be obtained, 1 have discovered that by other men the critics mean democrats. A certain geutleman connected with the coast wrecking interests bas voen very diligent lately in cireuluting eb) lk about the worthlessness of the crew at tte life. 5 station, and {tis understood that he is anxious to be appointed to tuke care of them. 1 have spoken to haudreds of peo- ple on the subject, aad a rmajority of Ub better crew than the one at Bridgehampton could not be organized. opinion were hot democrats that the only requirement necessary to be appointed was to hold republican doctrines, It happens that one of the men at Bridgehampton is a democrat, and, if Lam rightly informed, two of the crew at the next Blution to the westward are of the same policies. POLITICAL MACIINERY, The appoin: of these two meu made quite a noise in the r can Kitchen of Suifolk county, but party wrath failed to induce the superint consider his appoimiments, he preierrmg a worthy and experienced democrat to an ignorant and luexperteneed republican. That a majority of the men in the Life Saving Service sre republicans is true, aud it is also true that a targe majority of the people aro republicans. ‘Tho storics that have been circulated about the misconduct of the crew of Station No. 10 on the morning of the disaster to the Circassian ure all traceable to th source, The evidence 18 abundant and conclusive that all that Lumen power vould do was done, and that it was utterly impossibio to launch @ boat only those who did: not sce the sea will deny, THE NEWS THE Distressed relatives of the crews of the G, L, Merritt, Rdwin Post and Only Seu, the wreck of the Circassian, turouged the oflices of the Coast Wrecking Compauy in this city yesterday, the Tumor having spread that those vessels had gove down with ull on board.

AN INCIDENT O¥ THE WAR The Circassian was fitted out as a blockade runner, but wos captured on her first inward bound trip by the United States stea.aer Somerset, a naval vessel cxtem- ported from a ferrybout such as the Brooklyn and Must River boats, She was a very valuable prize, and her English owners fought desperately in the courts to prove that she on aiegal errand when taken, but she was finally coudemned, much to the joy of the Somorset’s crew. She was then a bark rigged, screw sicamer, with geared engines, and was utilized at ouce by the United States government, which armed her and fitted her out as a naval trans- port imu which service sbe continued —unul tue close of the war, bei ommanded successively by aptains Eaton and Cuurchil, Every sailor curing tbe war will remember the Circassian, which, with tue Nowbern and Unioa, performed the duties of supplying the squadrous from Charleston to the Mexican coast with dais and fresh provisions, including the welcome boon in summer of Uilicers on their wuy to jom their vessels Were sent by her, abd those on leave of ausonce, as well as seamen whose term of enlistwent had expired, came North by the same uicans of trans: port, Sie Was a stanch seabout, as ber conduct in vy storms, particularly in one burricane off Hat- us, evinced and she came olf scathless from several te encounters with coral reefs ana vurs duriug, her naval career, Sbe carried @ fur arinament, cousisting of four nine-inch Dahigrens, one 100 pound und one thirty pound Parrott rifle wud some howil- rs, usin ner trips she frequently had on board tar; amounts of greenbacks, On oue occasion several mill- ious of dollars destined to pay olf the army of General Banks.

THE CBEW OF AN AMERICAN SCHOONER WRECKED ON THE COAST OF CUBA PASS A NIGHT OF HORROR—WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM DEATH. ‘The schooner Ann E, Carll, of Northport, bas been reported as having been wrecked on Layo Key, south coust of Cuba, Captain Tylor, her commander, has now reached home, and makes report of the disaster as tollows:—They were making a very quick passage when a hurricane struck the vessel.
