The Seneca’s commander states that th© surWS r.oliaodCfned < the ’-Columbian i u . the middle of the night and kept her in sight by .the glare from the flames until daylight, when rain fell and they lost sight of the vessel. The party remained in the neighbourhood, hoping, to be picked up. They tried to light a lantern but the waterproof matches became wet. They drifted thereafter. They saw a steamer and after the steamer passed by on the horizon a Cunarder came within plain sight and headed towards them, but she then changed her course and disappeared.. 'Afterwards much rain and fog prevented them from seeing other vessels. A sailor’s coat hoisted in the boat caught the attention of the Seneca’s lookout and led to the. rescue.

P/lEN DIED ONE BY ONE. TROUBLED WITH HUNGER BUT NOT WITH THIRST. SURVIVORS SPEECHLESS. (Received 1,30 p.m.) New York, May 18. The Seneca lias arrived at Halifax with the four survivors from the Columbian. Their condition is sprious but it is belieyed that they will live. They left the Columbian so hurriedly that there was no time to stole provisions except those kept in the life boats for emergencies. The single cask of water was soon exhausted but rain fell, enabling the men to avoid thirst. HinigerJ howeker, dominated, their only food being a small supply of hard lack. '' Efforts were made to attract the attention of steamers, but several passed without noticing them. One after another died, some becoming insane through drinking salt water. ' Their comrades cast their bodies into the sea with their little remaining strength. Some collapsed bodily after the first day’s exposure. ' The four rescued were found huddled in the bottom of the boat unable to talk. An extraordinary feature of the search is that five trans-Atlantic liners were searching for several days fruitlessly. j
