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 soap, 11 beevwin • t al'wreck and of A! ' no less than two hundred souls to aa:, ry grave. Circumstances are as follows : --- Left klouthamptun at 2 a. m. Thurs- 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 assn, who were able to be rat hand, ex 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 - 1 ending. Every esei.terr_.., t otfcera and pswenvere had eat aoo.6.us look. 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_ tical time had now arrived. %Vas it pus- Huron School Rook depot. Bible with such Leary sea the Mtnitobs 1818. 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 seamanship displayed by Cetaut !' Gregor during the storm. This will w the Mat.itoba's last trip this season.
