FIVE lIuitDRED LIVES LOST.
?o?
Augusta, September 18.
TIii steamer Cenrlal America was lost
during the storm on Saturday flast. Five
hundred passengers, with the ttensure, went
down with the stenmer. Ouo hundred pa*^
sen gem wore saved, five of whom hnve reach
d Savannah.
Pnrfher Particulars.?Tlie names of the
five nersons a( ^avnnnnh are : II. 11. Child*,
of New York, (fcorgo \V. Look and It. 11.
Kidgoloy,. Maine, Jnbcz Howes and Adolph
Fredrick, S;ur Franvisco. They state that
fifty passengers were picked up l?y the l?rig
yVR vine, of Boston ; as well as those saved
at Norfolk. All the rest are supposed to be
lost.
Noavnuc. September 18.? Fifty of the
Central America'* passengers have arrived at
this port, in the barque Elois.
Additional of the Central America.
Savannah, August 18.
Ilenry II. Child*, ono ?>f the passengers
above named, make* a Mat emeu t as follows :
Tlio Central America left Havana on
Tuesday, the 8ih, with delightful weather,
which had been the ease from Aspiuwall.?
During tho afternoon a fresh breeze sprang
up, and on the next morning amounted to a
gale, which continued to increase throughout
Wednesday, and for pat t of the time ac
compatiied with heavy rain. On Thursday
tho gale changed to a hurt ip> tie, and the
sea was rolling very high. This continued
and on Fiidav, about 11 A. M.. it was well
known to the passengers that tho vessel had
sustnind a leak, which threatened to fill
rapidly. All hands were put to the pump*,
in relief parties, and for a while gained so
far as to allow re kindling of fire in the ? n
gino room, which had been quenched by
the water
This gain was (toon lost, and t'.e fires
again extinguished. Tho work of hailing
went on over the ship throughout Friday
evening and night, the passengers and crew
keeping good hearts, and hoping that with
daylight they would speak Bome vessel.
About 2 1*. M., ott Saturday, the storm
abated and a cahn ensued, and this cnutiu
ed the hopes of all, and nerved them for the
work of bailing.
At -1 1 *. M .1 c.oll iv n a nnnrtitn/>fl.l n?\/l
the steam ship fired signals ami di-plaved
Colors at half tlitst. This proved to be thebrig
Marine, of Boston, which came up ami
poke so as to receive our report, ami then
'aid off a mile, 'lhe steam Jftlnp had but
Uireo boats left, into which an the women
and children were put, and transferred to
the biig. Later in the evening another sail
was seen fast approaching.
Captain Ilerndon repotted his condition,
and asked him to lay alongside, A favorable
answer was rotated, but instead of ap
proacbing the vessel passed out of sight.
At V I*. M., it was found tho steamer
could not hold out intieh longer, a- a heavy
sea then swop over the Hot lime. Life preservers
were di.-tributed. rockets fired, am!
soon after the vessel went down, leaving at
the mercy of the waves, from 400 to 450
persons. The sea was then calm, and we
nil kept together, and chevied each other as J
well as the stoutest coul-;. We thus kept to j
gether, I think, foi two or three hours, near
ly all being preserved so long, except those
who could not swim at .-ill. Exhaustion
then began to overcome one niter another,
and I saw thcin going down around me.?
At 1, A. M., Sunday morning, I was nearJv
alone?could hear shouts of a few stirvivois.
hut could see none. About 2 o'clock. A.
M., as I reckoned, saw a vessel tvl a di-tan I
of a mile or less ?took fresh courage and |
swain toward* it ? reached it in la*t efforts'
of exhaustion, and was ilrnwn up hv ropes. I
It was a Norwegian barque fioin Bali/.c f?n ]
Falmouth. 1 found on hoaul three of inv
comrades,survivors, nndlxfme 9 o'elo?k we
had 4C of them in all?which aio all I
know to h.:vo boon rescued.
We kept near the place. and in anxious
watching until we believed all living had
been picked up, and then made sail, iLe
barque being short of provisions, and tincrew
living on gruel. We found a little tea
and coffee also.
At noon on Sunday, we spoke the Amer
ican barque?which supplied provision.*. and
took on board the five sinvivois Bought to
this city, whose names are: B. 11. Kidler.
Maine: Joshua Howe. San Fr>inei?co; Sam
W. Looke, Maine, Ailolphus Frediick-. San
Francisco, and II. M. Child*, New V.nk.?
The Norwegian barque set sail for Charles
ton, or tirsl port, with the rest of the survi
vora. The names of these I can now recall
are Copt. Badger, of Baltimore; Fiazier
second officer of the steamer Central Am- rica;
Iv. F. Brown, Sacramento; B'dlv Birch,
of San Francisco Minstrels; A. J. Ea>!nii,
San Francisco ; ?Mcteher, of Angaria, Me.;
ten deck hands and ten gilley hands are also1
included, and some chihhen (?) whose mothers
were in the lir?t boat* despatched.?
Three men ? I'riost, Long Bland ; Thos.
