lowing additional statements made DY
him will be read with interest. T be)’

Some of the most interesting facts tliaf’
ouf Reporter obtained from his iuterviciv
with Capt. Luce‘, were the positions oc-_
cupied by the different parties who were‘
supposed to liave been lost“\vlien he lost
when be last saw them.‘ _ '
When he saivtliat they must inevita-
bly be 10st, and every person oniboard
as keenly app'i'ec'iating'this fact "as him-
self, (Mr. Doi'ian’s:’boat having cut loose
from the raft)-all on board gathered togeth-
er on the upper deck. The passengers,
each in turn, came*‘to Capt. Luceggave
him a "farewell ‘ shake of the hand, and
many of the facts connected therewith
Capt.‘ L. distinctly remembers.
Mrs. Cliilds and daughter, of Spring-
field, Mass.; came’ to him and bade him
an’ affectionate‘ farewell as the ship was
‘going down. ' I ' A
During the time
coveiy that the vessel must inevitably
be lost, a young man, named Srswsnr
Honnsisiii, an engineer learning under in-
structions, had been constantly firing a
camioii. About ten to fifteen’ minutes
prior to the vessel's sinking, he discove-
red that further efforts in that direction
were useless, and as be fired the gun for
the last time, young Dr. _Wamig ap-
proached, Capt. Luce, and shook him
warmly by the hand‘, and‘ said to niiii :-
“Captain, should you ever, live to
reach the land, let the world know that
here’s one man who has done his duty
bravely.” '
“I know it," said Captain Luce, "for
I have seen him tliroughout.”
“And a more brave, courageous and
self sacrificing being I never saw," said
Capt. Luce to our reporter. '
Mr. Babcock and his lady of this city,
were on deck, also, up to the last mo-
ment. Mrs. Babcock had‘ been lying
sick during most of the passage. "I
think said Capt. Luce, “tliat I shook
hands with them both."
“I think,” added the Captain, “that
Mr. McCracken and his sister, Mrs.
Scott, were on the upper deck also.”
Mr Allen thought, at the time, that he
saw Mr. Catherwood there; but upon
being questioned by Capt. Luce last eve-
ning, could not call to mind whether he
was so or not. . ‘ '
"I think,” said Captaia Luce, “that
Mr. Comstock went over when the tackle
of the small‘ boat broke. "
"I do not recollect whether Charley
St. John xvna among the crowd uii I tire
upper deck when the vessel went down,"
or not. . '
"I saw Capt. Pratt and his lady there,
rest.
“Mr. Newbold was one of the most
efficient among the passengers, and but a
short time before the ship "went down,
was working with all his power tofget a
span overboard. He was on the ship to
the last. ' “ ' ‘ ‘
"I saw Mr. Springer‘ of Cincinnati, on
the upper deck, ivhilo, we were going
down. '
“About. aminute before went down, I
saw Mrs. Collins, with her daughter and
son, standing on the deck. The two for-
mer, I think, bad on lifepresei-vers. _‘ Mas-
fer Collins had taken off his boots;”‘
Day and his wife and 'dai1ghter,'\v_eif’e ai-
so on the deck_ and were’ standiiig to-
gether when the vessel went down,'_
"Mr. Grant and his wife, not two min-
utcs before the vessel sank. '
"Mr. Grant and his wife and son were
stnaiiding together on ' the upperdeck
and were swept off with the rest. A
,"I spoke to ‘Mr. Guinet and hiszwife,
the others.
the other passengers. She ,\VI5IlelI that
I would allow her tolgo with me, as she
"supposed thatl was going to take the
boat. I told liertiiat I should stand by
the vessel to the last. ’ '
"I saw the Due, de Granimont make a
spring into the bows of‘ Mr. Dorimi’s
(last boat; but those near to him drorje
hzm out again- That was the last. that
I recollect of seeing him. i _
A large number of persons got on wa-
ter casks; some lashed two togetheig,
thinking they were thus secured." ,But'
in many instances the lashings becanie
Ioose, and of course the casks became
useless. I, saw six different persons clim-‘
bing up and ‘endeavoriilgto sustain them-
selvesby two casks. They kept. above
water for atiine, but finally sank.
After the vessel went down, a‘ great
majority of those that were on board, as
they rose, got on the raft 'wliic_li:‘3liad
been built. A large number got on
small pieces of the wreck, doors and oth-
er fragments floating by. Tbese‘ gradu-
ally separated, and each one soon lost‘
sight of the other.‘ ‘ ‘
When the last boat wasupon the deck
Capt. L. succeeded in getting Mrs. Col-
lins and a number of otlierladies into it,
Butthey were forced to leave‘ as we‘ re-'
quired the boat for service in making’ the
raft. They did so without any apparent"
reluctance. Capt. L. says that in this-
coniiection that the ladies, after the first
fright was over, were as calm as can well
be imagined under such’cir‘cuuistaiices,
and seemed perfectly resigned to what-
ever might be“ their fate.
The Last of tliefassengers in the lVa-

as I and my companions were, After

ing, I think there was no possible chance
for any who were on the pieces of wreck
to be saved. T/te_'I/ must have perished
Those who were in the boats, however,
would ride out the ,,,,‘,e in safety, and

Sin/ding of the Arctic——Dmth of Capt.
' L2cce’s Son.
The Arctic settled stern foremost.-—
Slie went. over gradually, until the upper
deck got. level with the water, wlieu the
swe t over us.
s°I:A,,,1PI went down,” said Capt. Luce,
«after the sinking of the vessel, I \va_s
carried down a great distance, with my
son Willie in my arms. ,I opened my
‘eyes, to see. if I could discover light tbro’
the water. It was sometime before I
could do so, and then it seemed a very
long time before I reached the surface.
When I did so, I could only have held
out a few moments. I saw Willioncar
me, with a life prcserver on him, and
was just. struggling to reach him when a
piece of the paddle-box came up with
great force. and fell upon him, striking
him upon the head.
iiig around, I saw that the box was sli-
ding upon the water. A short distance
back, poor \Vill_ie was lying dead. Du-
ring my struggle, I had cut my head bad-
ly, which caused it to bleed profusely,
and I was compelled for sometime after-
wards to \vasli it frequently, to keep the
blood from blinding my eyes. Mr. Allen
and I got. upon the paddle-dox at about
the same time. By some it is supposed,
from the newspaper accounts, that the
piece we were or. was the entire padble-
box. This is not so; it was only a part
of it, about twelve feet square, and \ve
stood in the concave.
Some eight, or ten otliers got on the
same fragment with us. During the
time we were there, all the food we had
was a small boiled chick'eii which Mr.
Allen had taken from the table before
leaving the ship. This was divided
among those who were on board. I did
not. suffer at all from hunger or i.llll'5l.—"
After the ship hove in sight I felt some
thirst and considerable exhaustion, but so
far as the want of food was conceined,1_
think'I could have got along for a time.
W; had a small trunk on the wreck,
from the contents of which we supposed
it belonged to some female uursc. As
late as the early part of the last night
there were six of us remaining, of wiiom
three fell down from exhaustion and
were washed off by the sea. Young
Keyn, the German boy who was with us
suffered intensely. He happened to have
some biscuit with mm which had become
soaked with the salt water, and eating
these only increased his thirst, and to
make matters still worse, he drank some
of the sea water. His sufferiiigs were
beyond all description. Twice lie juin-
ped overboard, saying lie wouldd _rather
die than suffer as lie was oing ;—
and each time we pulled him back on the
wreck. At one time he cut open a vein
in his arm and sucked his blood. The
last time lie jumped over _was about fif-
teen minutes before we discovered the
Ca-mbria. .
At daybreak we discovered to the
northward of us a sail steering directly
towards us. At length slie changed her
course and steered away. About fifteen
minutes after Keyii was rescued from
‘self-destruction a second time, Mr. Allen
discovered a sail standing foréis. She
was about seven miles off, he was
seen tiirougli an arch which seemed to
form in the fog, and gave us a clear view
ISllt:'0llgll it dir(pctlyi3_tlielii1e ofglie slibip_

after a while changed her course. Up-
on this our spirits again dropped. It
was durincr the time that she was thus
no t
mancnvering that she picked up the
Frencliinan, who had belonged to the
“Vns'rA. and he iinmediitely informed the
officers of the CAMBRIA--Wlllcll proved
to be her name, that. tlierc were probably
other survivors in the vicinity, upon
which Capt. Russell went aloft with his
spy-glass, and discovered us. He stood
towards us, took us first on board, then
Mr. Smith, then a piece of wreck cou-
‘ taining three firemen, and anotlier with
two others.
Jlfr. ,Dorian’s Conduct.
After I found that Mr. Dorian was the
only officer, and indeed the only man be-
-‘ longintr to the sailing department in the
ship, and when everything had been done
that could bcdone to keep the ship from
sinking, he went vigorously to work to
assist me in making a raft and getting
spars over for that purpose. He was
constantly cheering on those around him
telling them to keep cool and help him,
and he would give them araft that would
hold them, all. He did his utmost to ac-
complish it. He be/caved most manful-
ly throughout.
Alter I had got on the paddle-box I
liailcd to Dorian, who was in the boat
and within sight, to come to us, though
I did not know whether he heard me or
not. Had all within the boat felt. dispo-
. scd they could by paddling with their
hands have reached us,-but without the
aid of all \VIl.ll-lllfll Mr. Dorian could
IIIVBCIIBCIGCI nothing. -
Mr. Baal/tam’ the Second Ofllcer
I instructed Mr. Baalliam to get a boat
down, to put a compass into her, and
have be: ready to receive pzisseiigers.——
He did so, when again the firemen and
otiiersspraug over the biilwarks, falling
on top of the others into the boat. And
seeing that this was likely to be continu-
ed, I ordered him to drop out of the way
and follow us under the stem of the ship
’I‘o my surprise, however, it was not five
minutes before he was out of sight, and
not more than one half of the persons on
board which his boat was capable of car-
ryinrr.
Mr. Baalham asked ‘me if’ he should
Put my “me boy in the boat. I said—-
“No; I should not allow it until other
people were prgvided for—tliat he must
take his chance with me.”
The Capacity cf the Boats and Pzmtps.
Captain Luce informed our Itopor-re;
that_ the smallest boat, .wliicli left the
ship 'witli‘the , engineer, was’ capable of
carrying safely more persons than the
largest. boat took away; and that the
boat». on board were large enough to have
carried three hundred persons safely/.
Each one of the bilge injections threw
out a column of water as large as a bar-
rel constantly. Each one of the four
I struggled to get away, and on look- ,
steam pumps threw a column of water
six inches in diameter, with tremendous
force; and the four deck pumps worked
by hand ‘ivould discharge a column of
water Of‘/Ille saiuc diameter. In spite of
all this the ship sunk rapidly.

guard.
Luxury vs. Life.
In a notice of a new steamer, publish-
ed by ono of our cotcmporarics since the
loss of the Arctic, we find the usual in-
considerate language of compliment to
her adoriiings. but not one word as to her
provisions for the security of life. The
following passage is a specimen:
“She is one of the finest steamers that
has e r yet plowed the waters of the
Sound-—buiit in the most substaiitialman-
ner, and fitted up in the most costly and
gorgeous style. She‘ is 340 feet on deck
40 feet 6 inches beam, 12 1-2 feet depth
and about 1,800 tuns burden; and will
accommodate 492 passengers with per-
manent berths. The gentlemen’s cabin,
the ladies’ cabin and the upper saloon
are all carpeted with {velvet-tapestry car-
pets, and the chairs, sofas, lounges and
benches are covered witlc rich brocatelle
and satinlainc, of high colors andfine
texture which gives the saloon: a most
brilliant appearance."
Now with the deatli-shriek of the mul-
titude that went down on the Arctic
ringing in our":-ars, and every Journal
dark with that mournful story, does not
this sound like the bittcrest irony‘! Are
our people such children as to be deligh-
ted with toys? Do they with to dance
the “Dance of Death” on velvet carpets?
Would they not just now, when the
w hole City is a house of mourning. clio'osc
rather to be told that this “beautiful stea-
mer" could offer boat room to all her
492 passeeugors if such a resort should
become necessary, from fire or other-dew
mictive calamity P Doubtloss the Lex-
ington, the Eric, the Griffith, tho Henry
Clay, the Teniiesee, were heralded to
the world with like eulogy of, their lux-
urious furniture, aiid yet in each the ra-
ging flames fouiid their host of victims
without a refuge. Hacla tithe of the
expense of those gilded cabins been up‘
propriated to the safeguards of life what
due agonies to the living and the dead
might have been averted. From fifty to
one liundred thousand dollars is often
lavished in this finery, while the vessel
goes on her dangerous service with boat-
room for only one-half of those whose
lives she holds in her keeping.
VVe have a new mode of ocean-iia,v_L
gatioii, with increased and peculiar don.
gets, and these call for a new system of
protection. Ocean steamers are more
liable to fire than sailing packets, they
will sink quicker from the weight of iron
rand 0081. they are much oftencr, and in
fact generally wrecked in quiet waters
and near the land, by rocks, collision, or
by being stranded where small sail boats
of poorer construction would be effectual
and they carry more passengers and lar-
ger crews. There should be boats
enough for all, each boat should have its
officer and crew, and every passenger
ger should know beforehand his own
boat. Then, when disaster comes. 001!-
fusion would be avoided, and the highest
possible efficiency and order would be
attained. \Vo have had enough of luxu-
ry at the expense of safety. Within a
few days lives more precious than all the
tinsel omaiiieiits that ever decked these
palaces of the ocean have been lostfor
want of boat-room to receive tlicm,.and
yet the nexcysteamcr is lauded chiefly for
its gaudy furniture. Surely it is time
that the Press should cease to encourage
this folly by its praise. We.shonld in-
sisl. upon some security beyond the ship's
timbers in case of a fire or. wreck, and
owners sliould be able to give a better
account. than they iiowcan of their lives
committed to their care. . Let them give
us less of tapestry carpets. and brocatelie
covors until they have secured their pas-
sengers against. the possibility of being
driven, like the hapless sufferers of the
Arctic, to the uiiavailing refuge of float
iiig barrels, or an usclusraft of spare. or
a life-boat made or a Stcward’s basket
lashed to a couple of planks. Give as
safety first, and splendor afterwards.

Remains or Sir John l‘mnlLlin;
_Mosrnn,i., Oct. 219:.
From the Montreal Herald.--In our
extra of yesterday evening, we informed
the public that a rumor wascurreiit in
town, that the remains of Sir John Frank-
lin, and of his crew and their ships‘, had
been discovered. We immediatcly‘des-
patched a special messenger to the Hud-
son Bay Co’s-. House, at Lacliinc; and
through the kindness of the Governor,
Sir George Simpson, we are enabled to
to lay befoae our readers, the following
outlines of a despatcli, received by -‘him
from Dr. Rae: — - -
Dr. Rae has been absent on the coast
since the month of June 1853, and re-
turned to York factory, on the 28th of
August last, from whence be forwarded
letters by Express to Sir George-Sfmp-
son, via, Red River settlement.
After briefly noticing the result of his
expedition, and the difficulties *with
which he had to contend, he proceeds to
state that from the Esquimauxs I16’ had
obtained certain information of the fate
of Sir John Franklin's Expedition, who
had been starved to death after the loss of
their ships, which were crushed in the
ice; and while making their way South
to the Great Fish River of Buck near the
outlet of which a party of whites died,
leaving accounts of their awful sufferings
in the mutilated corpses of some, which
had evidently furnished food for their un-
fortunate companions.
This information. although not derived
from the Esquimaux who had communi-
cated with the whites, and who found
their remains, but from another band,
who obtained the details viva coca, may
yet be relied on. No doubt is lefiof the
report, as the natives bad in their pos-
. session various articles of European man-
ufacture, which had been in possession
of the whites. Among these, are sover-
nl silver spoons and forks, &c., on one of
which is engraved "Sir John Franklin,
K. C. B.,” while the others have crests
and initials on them, which identify the
ewners as having belonged to the-ill-f»
ted expedition. Drawings of some of
these have been sent down. The fearful
tragedy must have occurred as long ago
as the spring of -1 850. ‘ .

The Providence Journal publishes an
extract from a private letter from Wil-
liam P. Ratlibonc, who landed in one of
the boats under Mr. Baalbam’s charge.
This letter will tend to coiifirin the be‘
lief that several ladies have escaped. It
seems almost certain that Mrs. Benedict
is safe, and also her husband :
“ The boat in which I escaped was
once filled, principally by women and
children, as she hung at the devils at the
quarter, but in lowering her, the stern-
tackie was run out too fast, and they
were all thrown into the sea and lost, 1
except Mrs. Gale of Worcester, wlio
clung to a thwart, and shrieking, was
taken into the ship. Mr. Gale was lost.
Mr. and Mrs. Benedict left in the first
boat, and may be picked upby some
vessel " A
As Capt. Luce aawover two hundred
men, women and children struggling
amid pieces of the wreck of every kind,
it is hoped that some of them have been
picked up who are now supposed to be,
lost. The New York Times says that
“most of them probably struggled brief-
ly and unavailingly; but some did gain
at least a momentary security upon the
fragments that floated around them,‘ for

another piece of timber. Two _ve_sscls,.
st'all‘evcnts. are known to have ‘ passed
inthe vicinity of the wreck within 30_’
hours after the disester, and it in possible
other survivors may have been taken up
by them." The mind clings to these
bare chances of rescue, and yet sober
judfimeiit. tells us that they are? very
slight.

~ This old saw was never seen through so
clearly, we opiiic, especially by the Near eyed
fraternity, as since the enforcement of the
Naine Law. It is but a short time since that
an agent of some dozen “ thirsty souls,” in an
adjoining town, just returned from a pilgrim-
age to Port Chester, (where he liudflinvcsted
the united capital of them all in it five gallon
dcinijohn of the cn’t¢cr,) while hitching his
horse in full view of his employers, by some lic-
cus pocus operation, or spiritual manifesta-
(ion, the spirits departed and have never been
heard of since. In another instance, an agent
was sent over the line. with instructions not to
let. his jug pass out of his bands, which in-
structions were faithfully adlicred to. until
mounting the topmost stair, in ascending to
those whose husky throats were awaiting his ar-
rival he fell backwards and reached the side-
walk just in time to have his own smashed ca-
put bathed in the smashed rum,willow and glass.
Then again, a nimble footed young man, in.
jumping upon the platform at the depot. was
seen to bug something with a convulsive twitch
of the arm as he struck the planks, but also too
late, for down through the interstices of his
coat linings sped a jolly black bottle and
smash went the glass, while the titter of the
ladies and the roar of masculine bystanders,
intensified the sorrow: of the nice yoimgman.
Again, an older gent was seen patiently pick-
iug out pieces of broken glass and ancient
looking willow sticks, tom his water-proof
russct, in the baggage car of one of the Dan-
bury 8 Norwalk trains. While his saturated
linen kept surging to and fro in unison with
the motion of the car, he was heard to exclaiin
in an agony of crushed ‘hopes, “ d——n the
stud‘, there’: five dollars gone to smash.” Our
Ichabod is sorry to add to this melancholy tale
that he saw the same i-asset trunk the next
day in Rfclgqlcld, hanging out to dry, and-
what grieve: him most of all, is, that it lay so
cqul-distant between the Congregational Leo-
ture Room, and our friend Baileys store, as to
most seriously compromise both of the afore-
.o‘o'id institutions (2) On Saturday night last,
the suns fatal road, a man, seemingly war-
‘cd by the aforesaid disaster, was seen stand-
iglg on the platform of the baggage cur, main-
taining his equilibrium with one hand, and the
other grasping a two gallon vessel, which he
tried to guard from-injury with the toad crest
solioitudc. But class for the most ardent an-
tioipatious. Au unlucky jerk of the old iron
horse, gave our hero 3 lurch and with him
jammed the precious casket, and down poured
the aromatic fluid over the platform ! Surely
