1 Y THE SINKING OF THE EMIGRANT
STEAMER UTOPIA.
Gibraltar, March 18, 5 p. in.—
Not until now has ittbeen possible to
give a full and authentic account of
the sinking of the Utopia, the fail-
ing light making it difficult last
night to see frow the shore what
was going uu at the Keane uf the
disaster, and the terrible gale wake'
ing it almost impossible to communi-
cate with the vessels until a late
hour today. Early last evening
the Utopia was seen steaming into
the bay iu the direction of the
anchorage. When abreast of the
ironclad Anson the Utopia stagger-
ed as though uuable to make head-
way against the terrible current.
Suddenly the strong gale,coiubined
with the current, swept the ill-fated
vessel across the bows of the Anson,
and in a moment her hull was
pierced and cut by the ram of the
ironclad. The Utopia, after put-
ting clear of the irouclad, drifted
about before wind and sue. The
rapid inrush of water through the
dent in her side,caused her to settle
down in five minutes from the time
of her tit•at impact. The Austin's
boats were lowered' immediately, as
wore also boats from the other
vessles of the British channel squad-
ron, the Swedish man-uf-war Freya
and the cable ship Amboy. The
ironelads turned turned their power-
ful electric search lights on the
scene of the disaster to assist the
rescuers. Uu the shore the news
sprea•I quickly. An enurinous
cron'd soon g.lthered ou the parade,
and groat excitement prevailed.
Little could be seen, however, save
the looming hulls of the mon of -
war and the white rays of the search
lights falling upon the foam -fleeted
crests of the waves and illuminating
the driving spindrift. The shrinks
of the Utopia's passengers and
crew could bo plainly heard above
the roaring of the gale. The sea
was so heavy that the boats of the
rescuoas cold not with safety ap-
prolch the wreck, so they worn com-
pelled to lie to leeward where they
picked up the people as they were
swept swept from the dock. As
the Utopia's bows settled
A 'TERRIBLE SCENE WAS WITNESSCD
from the boats. Those still on
board the sicking steamer made a
sudden rush en masse to the fore -
rigging, struggling for their lives
and vainly seeking places of refuge.
Twenty minutes later the forecastle
was submerged, and a large number
of persons gathered there who had
not dared to leap overboard with
the hope of being rescued by the
boats, and who had failed in their
efforts to ascend the rigging, were
carried away by the waves. The
reAcuors, blinded by the wind and
r in, saw nothing but a confused
struggling mass of human beings
entangled with wreckage. A steam
pittance rescued' all those who had
taken refuge iu the main rigging,
but the last ones were not taken off
until 11 o'clock at night. They
were so exhausted that they could
do nothing for themselves. The
blue jackets clambered into the
shrouds and passed the helpless
people to the rescuers in the boats.
Both the British and Swedish
sailors did plucky and vigorous
work. While a steam pinnace be
longing to the British ironclad
Iulrnortalite was engaged in the
work of rescue her screw fouled,
and she became helpless and drifted
on the rocks. In trying to save
themselves two of the sailors aboard
the pinnace wore drowned. The
remainder were rescued. The
total
NUMBER OF LiVES LOST IS NOW
PLACED AT 576.
Divers are at work recovering
bodies from the wreck. Peterson, a
Swedish quartermaster, who had
been steering the Utopia shortly be-
fore the collision, says that just be-
fore the vessels came together he
went below. While there he felt
the shock of the collision and rush-
ed from below, but before ho roach•
the main deck the Utopia had gone
broadside upon the spur of the An -
son's ram. The commander of the
Utopia, Captain McKeaguo, was on
the steamship's bridge until the last
moment. Petersen adds that as the
I'topia was crushed' by the Anson's
ram he clambered up tho davits of
one of the steamship's boats and cut
the ropes holding IIe had no
time, however, to lower the boat
away, as the bows of the Utopia
had passed beneath the warship,and
was rapidly sinking. Soon after,
it was evident the passenger steamer
the boats of the Anson having been
promptly lowered, one of the man-
of-war's cutters ran alongside the
Utopia after the collision,and Peter-
son jumped into her. He says that
while on hoard the Utopia aftor the
terrible collision he was surrounded
by a terrible mass of human beings
fighting their way desperately and
savagely, regardless of sex, towards
the boat+. Men, women and chil-
dren tumbled and slimed over each
other in that horrible fight for a
chance to escape from drowning.
ono poor woman who was rescued
by the Anson's blue jackets, went
raving wad when aha was convinced
her children wore drowned. There
were similarly distressing instances
by the score.

garding the disaster to the steamer

TALK FOR BOYS.
By Cul. T. W. Knox,
CURISTSIAS AT THE ANTIPODES.
Recently I had a letter from a
friend iu Australia, in which he
deecribed a Christmas festivity that
he had just attended. It was a pic-
nic at a favorite resort a few miles
out of Melbourne, au outdoor picnic,
and he said he should have enjoyed
it a little more if the weather had
nut been as sultry as it was. lu
this part of the world we do not
associate picnics and sultry weather
with Christmas, neither do we
associate the First of July with
the season of midwinter, as the
Canadians wlio live in the southern
hemisphere are obliged to du. An
Australian newspaper gives au ac
count of the "spring meeting" of
the raeiug club, which occurred. in
September ; the fall meeting takes
place iu May, and by the end of
that mouth or the month beginning
of June Ufa winter is fairly begun.
Australia is the antipodes of America
in more way's than in its position ou
the surface of the globe. Its swans
are black, and some of its coal is
white ; the north wind is hot and
the south wind cold ; the trees shed
their bark and rotaiu their leaves,
and while the leaves of our trees are
Horizontal and protect from rain
and sun the traveler who seet;s their
shelter, the leaves of the Australian
trues are generally vortical and give
little or no protection. -Very often
the mountain tops aro warmer than
the valleys, and the compass points
to the south pole instead of the
north. One might be justified in
supposing that hair grows on the
Australian sheep and wool on the
cattle, but such is not the case,
though it might have been if sheep
and cattle had been native to the
laud. Sheep, cattle, horses, swine,
and domestic fowls were unknown
when Australia was discovered ;
they have beets imported from
o h r (o ti.tries, and hence retain
all the characteristics of their pro-
genitors.
THIE PEUT'S LICENSE—"A BED OP
ROSES."
I have just happened ou a dia
tribe of somebody who dopa not be-
lieve in poetic fancies, but would
regulate everything to the domain
of prosaic fact. "Poets," ho says,
"have been accustomed to speak of
a bed of roses as though it were the
most charming of couches, and they
have used it so often in poetry that
it has become common to speak of a
bed of roses as the perfection of
human happiness. Does any one of
ue stop to think what an uncomfort-
able time we would have if we
should spread half a dozen bushels
of freshly -gathered roses on the
floor and then try to take a nap on
them 'I Think of the thorns, and
the atoms, and the dampness, and
the general unloveliness of the
situation, and then say if a good
hair mattress would not be ever so
much better !" Probably my friend
has argument on hie side, but he is
not the first to make the discovery
which ho sets forth. Years ago I
remember how somebody took the
lines
"\Viii you come to the bower I have
shaded for you ?
Zour red shall be roses bespangled
with dew,"
and added the following, which re-
moved all the sentiment that was to
be found in the composition :
"N., ; 'twould give me pneumonia, and
rheumatiz, too !"
By the way, this poetical fancy
has beau used many times. Kit
Marlowe, who died in 1693, has in
one of his poems the following
couplet :
"And I will make thee hens of roses,
And a theueand fragrant posies."
Guatemozin, the son-in-law and
successor of Montezuma, Emperor of
Mexico, and the last prince of Aztec
dynasty, is said to have asked: "Am
1 on a bed of roses4" when he was
being tortured to death by the
Spaniards, who placed him upon
a layer of burning coals and then
piled other coals upon him. Tho
correctness of this incident has
been called in question on the
theory that the rose was unknown
in America at the time of Guate-
mozin's death. The flower may
nbt have been known by that name,
but there are several varieties of
the rose indigenous to this country,
and, besides, does not Shakespeare
tell us that "a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet 1" The
tortured Aztec may hays named
some other flower, and the historian
called it a rose because it would be
best understood.

from tip to tip, and weighing
eleven pounds. Ater saw the eagle
perched in a large treo and shot at
it. One shot penetrating the neck
the bird fell, and Ater went up to
get hie game, when the infuriated
eagle sprang at his hoed, scratching
his face, arms and breast, beating
him with its wings and nearly
