Tho crew of the American clipper Willie Rosenfold, whfdh left New York on April 2J for Saa Francisco, had a terrible experience, which culminated in the vessel foundering and tho people suffering greatly. An exchange says Freighted with a general cargo and rigged with curses dark, tho Willio Kasonfcld, a Dith-built clipper of tho Seawall fleet, sailed from New York on April 23, bound for San Francisco. Tho ship and her master,’W. H. Dunphy, and his mate had come into much notoriety, because of charges of Incredible brutality whioh had been made before the shipping commissioner by the old crow, which bad brought the ship from San Francisco to New York. ‘ Tho mate evaded arrest, tho captain give bonds for appearance whan wanted, shipping misters got together another crew, end tho vessel siSJod away, bearing tho maledictions of her older men, some of whom had been left in hospital. And on 0 d obor 7 one boatload of castaways from tho Rr>o:ifo*d returned to New York on board tho steamship Carib Prince, and told how tho ship hal foundered on tho Antarctic’s verge. Two other boats put oft from the wreck. One of those is supposed to have been BaveJ, Ti e other has yet to bo hoard from. Those v fco arrived on tho Carib Priuco are i

Mato Ollleoplo and hlo Wl(o, Steward Batnhara and his wife (who was the stewardess), the carpenter, boatswain and five men. Captain Dunphy was in company with these castaways, but when the boat made a landing on the Brazilian coast he left the others and remained behind. It was a narrative of blood, of misadventure, of blue lights, and shipwreck that the returned castaways had to tell. The voyage was 111-fated from the very start. Two days out from port Charles Simpson, an able seaman, cut his throat. A week later Jacob Gorman, wlio had been sent aloft to furl the foreroyal, lost his footing, and plunged headlong Into the sea. He was never seen again. , The days filed by with the latitudes, and when three months out from port the ship was shouldering her way through the long Antarctic heaving#. There ft gale was met, and a dangerous leak was sprung. The pumps could not keep the craft afloat, and she was headed for the Falkland Islands. Thor® was another gale, which left the ship with 14ft of water in her hold, and then there was an log of the sodden wreck, the crew dividing Itself among the three boats. Second mate Baldwin ana six men manned one, and third mate Smith, with six men, took the other. The compoiition of the brat boat has been given. The wreck sunk soon after it had been abandoned* A S.W. gale swept the boats well to tho northward, and it was decided to head up for Rio de Janeiro. Whilo tho gale was on the lights of a steamship were seen, and blue lights were burned from tho boats, but the signals were unheeded or unseen 4 , In the captain’s boat canvas was stretched over tho after part, making a shelter for the women. The gale grew wilder, and a sea anchor was improvised from a bread bag and tossed oyer the bow attached to a line. Riding to that drag the boat outlived the storm, though for 30 hours she swung to it, every moment In imminent danger of being swamped. The three boats became separated m the tumult. The captain’s boat landed at a point 90 miles south of Imbutula, Brazil, and from there tho party made its way to Rio de Janeiro, where they embarked on tho Carib Prince.
