At day break on tbe 11th, Shinert and Andersen were aione, no boats nor bodies in sight, nothing but the floating cargo. The two men saved were rescued at five iu the evening by a schooner bound for Jamaica. New York, 30. Friends of the captain end chief engineer of the Emily B. Sout.hr, havo strong hope that tbev and their associates who left tbe sinking ship on a raft have been rescued. Tho engineer, some years ago, constructed a rait Irom which he was saved alter floating upon it ten days, subsequent to the loss of his ship. As tbe Kingston report makes no mention of the use of the metallic lile raft carried on tbe steamer's deck, it is supposed its airtight air-tight cylinders were used as ihe basis ol a larger and more comfortable refuge constructed by the engineer. As such a raft would be more seaworthy sea-worthy than any open beat the cbauces for the safety of its occupants seem grta'.er than were those of the two sailors rescued from the hatch. Tho steamer Lartirijlcn, from Galveston for Reval, with 4,000 bales of colton, went ashore at Bermuda while trying to make c harbor to repair re-pair a leak. Ono thousand bales were saved dry. Tbo steamship Ka(c, from Galveston for Havre, with a cargo of cotton, ashore at Bermuda, has broken up. One hundred and eighty bales of damaged dam-aged cotton were recovered up to Christmas. |
