A TERRIBLE NIGHT.

; — » The steamship Newcastle, belonging to Newcastle, arrived off Dover recently and landed Captain Hangan, with his chief and second mates, and a boy, being the survivors of the orew of ten of the barque Ceylon, of Drammen, bound to Liverpool with floor-boards. Their ship struck the Haisborough sandbank, and throughout the night the crew had a terrible experience. They lashed themselves to the mizzenmast, but during the early part of the night it was deemed advisable to cut away the masts to keep the ship from capsizing. The crew then crawled along the deck as best they could to the forecastle, and lashed themselves to the foremast. Throughout the night the crew burnt at frequent intervals large fires made of oakum and petroleum. Guns were also fired as signals of distress, but no help oame. Towards midday on the day following the ship parted right down the centre from stem to stern. After a hurried discussion the crew divided, the captain and the rest of the survivors getting along by rail to the after part, where they lashed themselves on the deck-house. The other six remained lashed on the forecastle. Soon afterwards the ship broke right across the centre, and the two portions were cast adrift. The stern portion floated away to sea, and was picked up by the steamer Newcastle. When the survivors last saw their comrades the portion of the vessel on which they were was just breaking up, and the captain feared that they are lost. The crew were all Norwegians.

The expedience of Geo. A. Apgar, of German Valley, N. J., is well worth remembering.
