Appalling Disaster.

_About thirty lives lost and the boat a total wreck._ The Canadian Pacific railway Co's. steamer, Algoma, which left Owen Sound on Thursday the 5th inst., went ashore in a blinding snowstorm and gale of wind in Isle Royal, Lake Superior, at 4 a.m. on Saturday. About 8 of the passengers and 25 of the the crew are supposed to be lost. Among the names of the lost thus far are Captain John Moore, First Mate Jeseph Hastings, Second Mate Richard Simpson; And the passengers saved are W. J. Hull and W. B. McArthur; also Wheelsman Henry Lewis, Watchman John McNabb, Fireman H. McCallagar, deck hands R. Stephens, James Bolton, Dave Langton; waiters John McLean, George McColl, and John McKenzie. Full particulars are not yet received. Mr. Beatty, the manager of the lake traffic, has sent out tugs from Port Arthur with instructions to search the island for any that may have got ashore, and pick up and take care of any bodies that may be found. The tugs are now at the wreck. _The Athabasca discovers the wreck._ Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 9.--The first known of the disaster was when the steamer Athabasca of the same line arrived at Port Arthur late this evening with the rescued, consisting of thirteen sailors and two passengers. The Athabasca, which left Owen Sound two days after the Algoma, came upon the wreck at Isle Royal, and found those saved in a perishing condition. The wreck had been dashed by the waves against the rocks, and had finally beaten against the shore of the island. The boat containing the rescued was washed over several times, but righted again while men clung to her sides. They succeeded in reaching land almost dead from exposure and exhaustion. The storm continued to rage furiously all night long. They remained on the beach watching the wreck beating the rock bound island and seeing the dead bodies dashed in the surf against the shores. The Athabasca, set sail for Port Arthur, where she arrived about 7 this evening. The Algoma was a splendid Clyde steamer lighted by electricity, Gross tonnage 1,780, length 270 feet, breadth 38 feet. The furnishings were luxurious, equal to the finest ocean steamers. The vessel cost $450,000 and is understood to have been insured for $800,000. It was one of the three steamers, Alberta, Athabasca, and Algoma purchased two years ago by the Canadian Pacific railway for the lake traffic, since which time it has been plying steadily between Owen Sound and Port Arthur. _Later._ The following are supposed to be lost:--Henry Gill, Markdale. Edwin Frost, wife and one child of Owen Sound. Mrs. Dudgeon of Owen Sound with two children. Thomas Snelling, waiter. John Scutt, L. Butes and Ballantyne, deck hands. Mrs. Shannon, ladies maid. Two brothers named Buchanan. Charles Taylor, steward. McIntyre. Capt. Moore, badly hurt.
