Threo hundred and five survivors of the ill-fated Atlantic arrived hero this morning from Boston by the steamer Newport. It being generally known that they were coming, as early as four o'clock anxious crowds gathered around the pier and the wildest wild-est excitement prevailed as tho Newport New-port nearcd the dock. The pier was closed; none but employes and members of the press being admitted inside the gates. Meanwhile the commissioners of emigration had a tug chartered and to avoid tho crowds outsido the pier ran her up close to the Newport, took the unfortunate passengers on board and steamed down to Castle GaideD where the scene baffles description. Thousands of men women and children of every nation were gathered there, anditwaswitb the greatest difficulty that they could be kept from forcing their way through the gates. The steeraze passengers looked miserable. They were poorly clad aod seemed to bo much disheartened. On their arrival ar-rival at Castle Garden they were registered regis-tered as UiUal, after which friends who were awaiting information sent in the names of those whom they Bought.and as a wife, a child, a sister, or a brother recognised one of the unfortunate men whom they had deemed lost, the scene wao indeed most affectinc. Tho men gave way entirely and the women either ftWouDcJ or screamed from joy. Even outside the gates the men and women who wro gathered in groups sobbed at:d cried bitterly. After a short time breakfast was laid. About one hundred of tho passengers leave to-night on the Erie road for their destinations, des-tinations, the remainder following in a few days. The majority of the men sneak di?p-ra vj'Or'y cf the captain and crew, atid comp!ain that alter bciDg two or threo days at 6ea their food was ' cut short. |
