The Crary and the Palmer were In col-f Uslon Wednesday evening fifteen or eighteen miles southeast of Thatchera Island, and both went to the bottom | Inside of ten minutes. Six men of the crows were carried down by the crafts, and five more died before rescue came to them. Two of thermen committed sulcide, according to the stories the survivors Smith, the mate of the Crary, e he refused to try and save himself, and another, little more than a boy, because the sufferings which he endured from cold, hunger and thirst after he waa in the long boat of the Palmer rendered him insane, and he did not know what-he was doing when he leaped overboard and sank be- neath the waters of the bay. ‘The rescued are SCHOYEN, HEGELMAN, twenty years old, of No. 145 Cherry street, New York, frozen feet.

Malone and his crew ex- perlenced sufferings which even they, With the agony of it all fresh before them, cannot aescribe. If the succor tad been delayed eight hours longer they belleve all of them would have died, All told there were twenty-one men ‘on the two schooners when the collision took place, and six of them went down ‘with the craft, The remaining fifteen managed to get into the longboat of the Palmer, but without having been able to save a single drop of fresh water, a mouthful of food or an extra garment to protect them against the freezing winds and the flying spray which broke over their frail craft. bes W., twenty no Four Succumbed to Exposure, They had no sail and only four oars with which to manage the boat, and the oars were of little or no use except as they enabled them to keep the nose of the Jong boat pojnted into the seas which the winds kicked un, Four of the men @uccumbed to the exposure they were forced to undergo, and another one, crazed by his sufferings, leaped into the sea, and his campanions, themselves be- numbed by the bitter cold and almost ready to follow his example, sat pathet!- caily by and saw him go to his death, Whe bodies of the four who died were committed to the deep on Friday un- @hrouded and unshotted, but with re- ligious services as they were cast to the waves, Captain Prayed at Sen.
