SHIP ON BEAAI ENDS,

MONKBARNS’S EXCITING ORDEAL,

With a list of 4Sdeg and the lower part of the deck and bulwarks submerged, the ship Alonkbarns, bound for Sydney, bad a hard time during a hurricane in the South Atlantic. The Alonkbarns is a fullrigged ship of 1.911 tone. Laden with rock salt, she sailed from Birkenhead on Alarch 8. On May 8 a gale started from the north, increasing to terrific force. It was 8.30 at night, when the gale was at its height, that, without any warning, the ship gave—to uso the skipper’s own expression—a fearful lurch, and went falling as if down into a chasm. Members of the crew state that the sensation was like that of dropping through space into a pit. It was weird and awful beyond description. It was nil over, in a flash ; but the ship was found to he in a bail way. Her cargb had (shifted—hundreds of tons of rock &a!t had been hurled against the side of the ship. Luoluiy, the Monkbarns is an iron ship, and stood tin. strain. There was, bowei r t danger of her capsizing. With the gal-© _ still raging, bauds were sent below to trim the cargo, and while this work was .going on the cry went up, “Man overboard!” One of tlio apprentices, named Sibun, nineteen years ot acre, who had been sent, aloft, fell trorn the yard into the sea. Nothing could be done in the way of rescuing the iaci. mo ship was in a raging gale, her decks were full of water, and fibe was almost on her beam ends. All the boats were out of condition. Three days Later the weather moderated, and the. ship limped into Table Bay with a list of 2ft 3in to starboard. Tho Alonkbarns completed repairs at the Cape, and resumed her voyage for Sydney on Juno 10.
