SEVERE STORM WAS THE CAUSE
Tffr,l,lr Tntf r Forty-Scrm 9nllor of
a Newfoundland Sealing
Steamer.
j St. John's, N. F., Mar, 28. The t
1 1 fteamcr Greenland hae reached this 0
l 1 harbor with a grewsome cargo. On J
5 deck were twenty-four corpses and f
4 fifty five men were moaning in ter- 2
1 1 rible tnflVring in the hold in the I 1
1 1 pain of frostbitten limbs and bodies.
1 1 The dead bodies were on the decks '
1 ' ditfigtired and almost unrecognir.a- J ,
! i b!e. The etT.'cts of the terrible snf- . i
feririg which they had endured 2
preterits ones of the most terrible
siclit? which human cyea have
ever witnessed. J
The dead number 25.
The frostbitten number 53. All will
recover.
The Greenland set sail from Sl.John'e
about the first o! March on her fateful
voyace. She was commanded by Cant.
George Barbour, and carried a crew of
nearly 300 sealhit titers. The steamer
proceeded northward with the rest of
tlie sealing fleet, but after a couple of
hears she diverged on a separate tack,
and rtnehed the hunting grounds not
long after. All went well until Tuesday
last. Seals were quickly encountered,
and several very good packs were se
cured. Ou Tuesday morning the hunters left
the ship about 7 o'clock as usual, lieu
the lookout reported ice plentiful around
them. The men were clad in light cloth
ing, for the slaughter!!!,; of seals is ex
hansting work. Scattered over the ice
fields, they wandered far from the pro
tection of the ship, and a gale and enow
storm shut them oh" from view. The
icefloe parted and drifted away from
tbe steamer. Long ere the storm had
subsided many of the unfortunate fel
lows had succumbed to the terrible cold
and exposure. Those who dio not die
were terribly frostbitten nnd suffered
excruciating pain.
The lung irght passed, but morning
brought no help, for the storm etIJI raged
and tbe air was thick with snow driven
by the gale. Snow continued nearly all
day, and evening brought no cessation
to the high wind. Another night was
spent iu untold agony. Some of the
victims had already given up hope, nnd
in despair had laid down and died. Ev
ery hour witnessed at the least two
deaths.
Toward morning the storm subsided
nd clear weather enabled the survivors
to see that the Greenland was not far
awav searching for the missing. The
steamer bore down on the drifting field
of ice, and began the work of picking up
tbe stark bodies cf the deud and the life
tat bodies of the livini?. Twuity-flvo
corpses were taken on board that morn
but twenty-three were still miseiug,
and though the search was continued,
no more were found.
Thursday night the Greenland headed
'ar shore, reacliing jJay dj Verde, pro
wading theneu lo St. John. Most of
the men who perished were married und
have large lamilies, who are thus de
prived of all means of support.
