Mrs. John Corrigan was the only passenger aboard who was saved. C. II. Holmes, the captain; Samnel Big- gam, the mate; (our sailors, two cooks aud the ship’s carpenter were also saved. The yacht left Port Huron yes­ terday with the family of Mr Corrigan aboard and started to Clexeluud. Mr. Corrigan was ill, and left by the train. At 2 o’clock the storm came np. and inside of five minutes the yacht ssuk.

The men im­ plored them to come to the deck, but they refused. Mrs. John Corrigan clung to a cork sofa when the gale came, aud was saved. When rescued, lliggain said: “ It was about 2:05 when the squall struck us. The yacht laid down on hqr beam ends, and the water rushed through the deadlights ami companion- ways, Hnd in tlwee minutes she sank. Mrs. James Cbrrigan, Miss Ida Corri­ gan, Miss Jaue Corrigan, Mrs. Charles Reilly aud the infant daughter of Mrs. Reilly were all in the saloon below when the storm came on us. Captaiu Holmes gave me orders to take in sail, and l transmitted the order to the men. They obeyed quickly. The captain, myself and the crew made efforts to save the women, bnt without success. We told them the yacht was sinking,' but they could not or would not come on deck. 1 waded into the saloon when the water was np to my neck, but Mrs. James Corrigan wonld not come out.

" F o r God’s sake, Mrs. Corrigan, you and your daughter keep a tight, hold on the riggiug,” we called to them. “ Flven as we yelled the sea swept them and us overlioard. Fortunately, Mrs. Corrigan had succeeded in taking hold of a cork lounge. Bhe olung to it and was saved.” Aocording to the testimony of several sailors, the topsail, mainsail and jih were all set when the storm oame up.
