What, caused the delay was not atated, but the fleet appear to have remained. within fifteen miles of their moorings at Kingstown for _thirteen hours. Four vessels were • ahead, steaming slowly southward after the batiks on the coast had been cleared, and the Vanguard :511411ton Duke, both ironclads, of four- teen guns, were bringing up the rear. Shortly after midnight the Vanguard suctileuly, ewer a large g vessel immediately before her.

The water rushed. in, aud her foundering. would have leen a matter of minutes only. but for the 'fact that the Van- guard waa built in .water tight com- partments. first au effort was made to keep the water from the compart- ments that had not been injured, lint its.fatility was soon appareut, and at tention was then exclusively directed to the saving of life. The effort of the watertight amnpartments was to keep the doomed vessel afloat exactly au hour after she was struck. In. tnat brief period the noble 'it qualities of the British sailor were called, into play.. Capt. Dawkins promised safety as' 'the condition ancl consequence of obedience. to ordprs. The men responded per- fectly, and standing in line moved only 05 they were bidden. They resisted the temptation to ,save some of their posseseions left below. Meanwhile the - Iron Duke, which had backed after the collision, got out her boats, and Van- guard loWered hers, and every man was safelydransforred to the ormer, Capt Dawkins being the last to leave the ship. Nothing was saved except what the men stoucldn, and no life:was lost but that of a favorite ..dog belong- ing te commander Tandy. Nor did any injury occur excePt to one nian, whose fingers was crushed as one. of tee boats was lifted by the swell against the Vangusrd. When all ,the nien were safe the Vauguaed. turned round a.nd sank hate deep water enough to hide orher but the top -gallant masts.
