THE HURON SIGNAL, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, l $•2.

IN THE STORM,
The Ilsp.rIeoos of the Manitoba.

The following has been received from
Mr. J. B. Glass, of Mews. C. 8. Hyman
& Co„ ut London, who was a passenger
by the Manitoba during her late dread-
ful enoounter with the waves of Lake
Huron. It will be read with interest :
Bruoe Mines, Sept. lb, 1882.
The magnificent and powerful steam-
er, Manitoba, of the N. W. Transporta-
tion Co., experienced a vary NNITvw

A! ' no less than two hundred souls
to aa:, ry grave. Circumstances are
as follows : ---

day, 14th inst. AU afternoon of W ed-
nesdey the 'lemmata wore • threatening
oast The cloud' wore a livid hue.
Thunder was distinctly heard in the dis-
tance, but was rapidly drawing nearer
and nearer. The dashing of fork light-
ning became very vivid. Such was the
nature of the dement& No storm sig-
nal hasiag been given, no weather bul-
letins received, and with only a slight
*oath stat wind bl owieg, our captain felt
he could pruoeed ua his course. After
leaving port we steered a N. W. course
until about 7 a. m. A terrific gale set
in from the 8. W. direction. Captain
McGregor now thought. it advisable to
change his course and make for Cove
Ialand. Mur • sburt run -a distance
of a few wiles -the gale freshened very
ra , veering to westward. It was
now found utterly tmposslble to keep
the M*autoba on her course, rapidly
drifting leeward. Danger was neer im-
minent, and terror was depicted in every
ooaneenance. The larger number of the
paepeogera were dreadfully sea -Nick, sit
that many did not fully realise the Igwav-
ity of the situation. Strong, stalwart

Sited every nerve and faculty to save the
cabin from utter destructive. while the
deck below, frlrtn the shrieks of the ter-
ror-stricken passengers, the tumbling of
freight and o.rututu.d stamping and
surging to awl foo of hereea and live
stock, grade the scene awful in the ex-
treme, the sound of ail.<:, w is heart -

mingled with alarm, bet ui the whole
were cool and courageous.
Froin 9:30 to 11 the storm raged with
increasing fury, and the skylights of the
cabin were abed into fragmenta at
every roll, doors and windows falling in
every direction, while the roar of the
hurricane and the seething waters out-
side was terrific- At Nines the sun shone
through the storm as if 'to mock our
fears. At the hour of 11 the passengers
were competely exhausted with sickness.
Our strung and stalwart men now began
to succumb to the dreadful syottcons of
sea -sick item Fierier and still fiercer
Knows the sterol. The Captain, still at
his post, finds the beat could not weath-
er the point to which he was steerings,
and utterly impossible for her to battle
the storms in her pesent condition, the
iron rod in the esgiee-room binding the
boat having already broken. The steam
pipe was found leaking. These engineer
Tonkin, with almost superhuman skill
and rapidity, replaced by new attach -
menta. To return to Southampton was
impossible. Two ,courses were open
to him, either to rusk theboat ashore and
save all he cook, else head her round to
Pitch Ckanrrel, a ontvrae through which a
steamer was never known to pass before.
He, however, ventured the 'latter.
Breakers ref's ahead within a distance of
1,000 feet rot her present position. 'Ihe
rudder chain had already showed signs of
weakness, and was exl'ected to snap
asunder at any nutmeat. The most cri• 01 -EO RI EPPARD_

could obey the Sola ? The captain,
still at his post, cont and deliberate, gave
his orders, whose voice seemed to rirg
out far above tkeroar of the hurricane,
Not a moment was to be lost Up went
the jib sail at the command of the cap-
tain, and in a moment it was observed
the immense pressure of the helot was
greatly reduced. The captain nor do-
cided to head her routed. The critical
moment had just arrived; she made a
tremendous lurch, amidst creaking tim-
bers, rolling baggage, with freight and
merchandise flying in every direction.
The awe-stricken female •paeaeneers sent
up a wail of utter despair. G.xd alone
could now save us. Ceaseless prayers
were being offered for the Divine inter-
position. The conviction rd the writer
at this moment was that in answer to
prayer God would not "still the storm,"
but He would sate the people It seem-
ed for a few moments that all was lost,
but He who once said to the elements,
"Peace and to the waves. "Be Still '•'
now took charge of the helm. The
mouth of the channel was entered,
another half hour of suspense, and we
are under shelter of the islands and
steaming into the harbor of refuge at
Tabor Morey. The movements of our
ship were watched from the islands with
glasses in hand by the various captains
of steamers who had taken refuge in this
harbor the day before ; had ordered
steam up to come to our rescue at the
first hoisting of signal of distress, as dan-
der was imminent at this point. At last
moored safely to the main land,
under ordinary ctrcuwtsnoes would not
dare to venture, were taken and suuews-
tutly navigated. Thanks to the skill
and presenos of mind of the captain, and
the wmirable beheriur ut the crew, the
ataam-r wail brought solely through her
perils, and under the shelter of the har-
bor the passengers were able to oungr'atu-
late themselves upont it providential
escape. It was a closer, and all were
loud in their praise of "Rhe coolness
