G. Co urn, ot tho Like Superior Line. rColhing defi nite was known until yesterday noon, when Cap tain \Vnrd received a telegram from tho Kewee naw. at Mnr.no City, saying that the Coburn Im J cone to the bottom of Lake Huron, nnd that tho Keweenaw had on board tea persons who had been saved in a small beat. At 6 o’clock last evening, when the Kaw, cnaw came down, there was crowd ol two or three hun dred people on the dock to gather particulars from tho lips of those rescued. Ail who experienced it ngr**c that the gale of Faturdty night wn* the heaviest one of the sea- son, nnd same of tbera never saw it blow so bard. The sea wns iremcndou*. even before it reached its height, which was about daylight Sunday morning. Tho wind wns from the southwest. The t'«burn was bound down from Lake Supe rior. and encountered tho storm at Presqu** Tile. From ah account?, it is pretty certain that th< ro were from twenty to thirty passengers »n board, nnd the propel!<>rc.i tried a crew numbering near ly thirty more. There were eight worn -n on board, four or five being passengers, but Gray j a rescued pnssengc-r slatrs that la- did not hear u certain from nn«* of ibem. even when the craf J settled down to h»*r grave, I About A i.’cloek In the morning, when the Cj bum wns n lit: c below Thunder Bay, she un* shipp d her rudder, swuoff round into the (mueh of the rasing and then n short, sharp cry <>f de.pnir arose from tho tailors. It wns not repeated. Wit i n spirit that ruse above the danger, the Ciiptim ordered thu men to their work, m.il they labored on in silence. Tho Cap tain saw that eho must ba ligatened. ns her e*nro I had begun to shift, and so he ordered h»dca to be I cut in h**r bulwarks, through which her deck lo.nl of Jlmr c-nld bo roll <1 overboatd.

Still the llr.-t mate, William Simmunr, kept shoving the 11 >ur over board. and was hard ni work when mo l.isi dock-hand went above, lie undoubtedly went doxxn with the pn.uvll -r, working to the last for hs r salvation. Between 7 and 8 o'fl .f k liny left tho cabta for the hurricane dock- As ho took a last look around tho room, men mid women wero stilt clinging to their sup ‘poris, hut each one was outwardly calm «ul cool. Not a fob or tear, not n word of fright, doing up on tho hurricane dock, he stood lor a moment close by the unfortunate Captain, who was gating seaward. Dawn had long since come, but it might us well havo been imdmvbl j ior nil h'«po ut relief which could b; gleaned on j that wide waste of dashing, breaking billow*, sweepi. over and over ibc struggling ship us si angeted that tdio had luiigut so long and well. All ol tho cre;r and mo-t «J Hie passengers had by this time taken iciupoontbo hurricane deck, as tho water was rapidly rising in tho c ilnns. Itwnsividcnt that the end was near, and preparation! were made for getting out the boats, of which there were bin two life boats 1 and a yawl. Eutiitllo liocu was had that they I would Jtvoinsuch aeon at was thou running. 1 but no other resource was left. Some <>f tho J negr» deck hinds and firemen got possession of j the yawl and was launching her, when (hey I worn seen, and sumo ot me passengers jumped! in. i!y this time tho hurricane deck, on the j starboard side, was even with the water. t Iho other boats noro shoved off: there was a] rush for them, and they were soon filled with the passengers and crew. In a moment they acre swept n hundred yards away. Looking j back,the steamer was no longer scan nfl .at, bat j as she went down the hurricane deck separated und carried off some tho remaining unt >rtu- i nau-s. Those in the boats made every effort to! keep by each other and by the hurricane deck, j but were gradually worked away by the lurce ol tiM* wind and wares. I Tho Doat which contained Gray also contained I nine others, although bo says that hesaw no one else enter it. and supposed f>r ix time that hi was tho solo occupant. There wero four oars at first, tut one was soon 1 -si, and men three m-m pulled, and L.iugd'in, a practical seaman, took tho tiller and kept her before the wind. The boats rapidly drifted away from tbo wreck nnd from each other, and no effort was made to take off any of those clinging to the tossing deck. In one of the boats seven poisons were counted, hut it is not known how many were crowded into the other. except that she seemed to have a full load. Wo havo only to do with this one boat, as the others have not yet boeD beard from. In fifteen minutes atl *r lowering the boat iis occupants hod lost sight of tho two others amt ot the wreck. Tbo last seen of the fragment holding up so many lives, it wns pitching and tossing in the trough ot the son, and there is not the faint est hope tbnt it rode tbo waves for half an hour. Tbo boat was kept before (be win 1, but the waves threatened every moment to swamp hr. ily baling out nnd by tho greatest exertion? ut the oars, the littic emit was kept afiont i»r sev eral hours, and (ben the wind began to die out and tnc sea» t g 1 down. Toiling by turns ut the oars, and encouraged by Langdon. the hah-a-seoro had hope come tn them after n time, and their incessant scanning of the uroary waste was finally rewarded by the sight of n sail, and übnut the middle of the at* teruoon the bark IL-bcrt Gaskin bore down upon them and took them on hoard, transferr- j inr them to the Keweenaw Monday morning. Tho other boat contained pass-ng-rs and crew. j but no names ran be had. It is fluid by some that they wero nut to well supplied with oars as I the rescued b * ono can n«w t«|l who Is lost, or give tho I full list of the saved, owing to the uncertainty j about the musing Pouts A fireman suite? that j I Kobinsun, the engineer, was ut his l>o- vc-.-el went dow and thrrs claim tb it they j suxv him on the burrtcaue deck, itie »«ujo un* certainly is fell in regard 10 tho tubers, a? none 1 o! this party can remember Seeing 10cm during 1 the lust sad moment. All accounts agree ttmi u score or more were left on the burr cane deck. 1 The must authentic occunnt of the uumb.ir of I passengers pluccs it ut twenty-tw.i. Among I these was Major Smith.
