Philippine islands, but on the last . voyage was bound' to Hong Kong from Pamay. The schooner car ried a crew of six. When within about eighty miles of her destination, on the night of August 5, it was blowing a strong gale and the schooner was hove to. . Merchant and a seaman named May were on deck when the lights of a large steamer were seen coming straight for the Pearl. May ran to the cabin : hatch and got a flare, but before he could light it the steamer crashed into the schooner, nearly cutting her in two. May's arm was broken and he was badly hurt in ternally. The rest of the crew were asleep and were no doubt killed in their bunks- Merchant succeeded in cutting the only boat adrift, and - by almost superhuman efforts got it over the rail into the water. The : two men had barely time to get into the boat when the schooner went down bead first. They shouted frantically for aid, but the steamer kept on her way and the two castaways were left to their fate. They had neither food nor water and only a single pair of oars. May died at day light and Merchant soon became delirious and 'insensible. He was rescued by a Chinese junk and taken to Hong Kong, proceeding thence to Victoria by the steamer Empress of 'China. He fell overboard during tiie voyage, bat was quickly rescued. ' Think Field is Insane. Nkw York, Dec. 14. E. M.
