Thre: boats, in charge of the first and second offi- cers and boatswain, succeeded in getting away from the ship, only one of which, that in charge of the boatswain, has thus far been heard from. The latter was picked up on the oth instant bs the steamer State of Georgia, at New York yesterday. The rescued party consisted of ihe boaiswain, four seamen, three lady passengers and the stewardess, "They suffered severely, having been adrift in the ice for four days, and were completely exhausted when taken on board the State of Georgia. As the wreck oceurred near the track of the ocean steamers. there is a probability that the other two boats may have been picked up.
