For a week past the civilized world has been anxiously looking for particu- lars of a disasterâ€"one of the most frightful on record â€"that happened in the Mediterranean sea, a few miles from Tripoli, on the coast of Africa, at 5 pm. on Thursday, the 22nd inst. While the British squadron of ironclads was manoeuvrcing outside the harbor, two of the mighty warships collided. the twelve-foot ram of the Camperdown striking the hull of the Victoria just in front of the armored bulkhead and plunged into the thin plates of her armoured sides. The wounded monster staggered along for a quarter of an hour, and then, turning over, sank bottom upwards in 480 feet of water, a depth so great that it it stated no attempt will be made to recover the bodies. The heart-reading scene that occurred as thh ship went down is thus described by one of the horror-stricken witnesses: “The untangling and the getting under full headway had taken some little time. About ten minutes after the blow, the Victoria having got some thing like two miles nearer shore from the scene of the collisiOu, all at once leaned away over to starboard and with a great roll and plunge buried her how beneath the calm surface of the sea. It was almost instantaneous. There was only a chance for a few wild cries and the Victoria was almost half sub- merged, bow foremost, while the rapidly revolving screws were high in the. air. Those on deck were plunged immediate- ly into the water. The men forward and below had no time to rush to the deck, but found themselves groping for doors or rooms filled with water and compressed air. There was a little more time for those in oflieer’s quarters. They heard the shouts and warning cries and rushed to the almost perpen- dicular deck. “ The huge hull was drawing in the water as it went down, and several hun- dred men, hurled suddenly into the water, l'ully dressed, had to battle against the increasing suction. A .mo- ment more and a new peril, more hor- rible, descended upon them. The great engine, deep in the heart of the hull‘and enclosed in watertight oom- partments, was still throbbing at full speed, and the great steel phlangcs of the twin screws were whirling around up in the air. As the vessel sank these screws came nearer and nearer to the water and descended into the midst: of the struggling human beings. The vessel sank slowly, and when the screws were low enough to whirl in the water the suction had increased till there was a deepening vortex like a maelstrom. At the bottom of this maelstom the screws were revolving like circular knives. The poor creatures battled in vain against the suction. They were drawn down and thrown against the swift blades. , “Then came a scene which made the officers on the decks of the other warships of" the fleet turn away, sick, with horror. Screams and shrieks arose, and in the white foam appeared reddcued arms and legs and wrenched and torn bodies. Headless trunks were tossed 1,. out of the vortex to linger a moment on the surface and sink out of sight. All within reach of that vortex lost their presence of mind. Men who knewhow to swim ceased swimming and fought with the waters. 'Men clutched each other in frenzy and sfruck each other off. The deep cone of whirling water with the swift ’knivcs chopping human bodies at the bottom of it was a horror to daunt the. bravest. One man who escaped says that he saw in that great vortex at least 50 of his fellows lighting.- with each other and with inevitable death. In a moment or two the knives disappeared and the vortcxbcgan to close up, The ship was beneath the surface just as the whirl was shallowed almost to the surface. Then there was a muffled sound of thunder, the waters were tossed up and steam burst from them. Again the shrinks and screams bur‘st from the swimmers. The boilers had exploded, the sea had rushed into the furnaces and the swimmers were beating waves of scalding water. Thus in less than ten minutes death in three awful forms attacked the officers and crew of the Victoriaâ€"death by drown- ing, death by the knife-like screws and. death by scalding water." The Victoria bad on board at the time of the disaster between .700 and lost their lives. She was of'lllfiOO tons burden, her engines of 11,500 horse power and she carried two lid-ton guns besides a number of others. and the frightful sacrifice oflife involved will probably strengthen the existing doubt of the advisability of building ,such large and costly men-of-war. miral Sir George Tryon, commander-in- chicf of the Mediterranean station, was on the Victoria and was taken out of the water alive. but died soon after- wards. it is said that the commander of the Campcrd'own is to be court- inartialcd as the disaster was attributed to his delay in obeying orders.

Two TW’ELF’I‘H‘SLâ€"The 12th of July will this year be celebrated at Bob- eaygeon by the ()rangcmcu and True Blues of this district; but the 12th of Augustâ€"the “little twelfth,” as some- body uamed itâ€"-â€"will be celebrated at Fenelon Falls, and we hope there. will - be a good turnout on each occasion. DOMINION DAY.â€"â€"To-morrow, July lst, will be Dominion day and a public holiday. "As there will be nothinli to do here except fish, a good many of our villagers will probably go to Lindsay, where there is to be a monster celebra- tion if the advertisement in last week’s fwd Jewen’ Sam McKend-l-y, Mable ,, and this week‘s Gazette tells the truth. HOME AGAINâ€"The Feuelon Falls: volunteers, who left on Tuesday, the 13th inst, for their annual drill at Kingston, drove home from Lindsay on Saturday night. They were all in good. health and spirits, _ a rd those we have interviewed were so well pleased with life in camp that they would have liked; a couple of weeks more of it. CONFIRMA'I‘lON.-â€"â€"On Sunday last confirmation was held in the Catholic church ,. Fenelon Falls, by Bishop O’Cou nor. who was appointed to the Peter- borough diocese about five years ago. He held confirmation at Bobcaygcon and Galway before coming here, and left for home on Monday morning. It was, we are informed, his first visit to this part of the district under-his charge. CHTTING- Wrensâ€"Mr. John Magec is taking his annual tour around the villageâ€"as far, at least, as the sidewalks extendâ€"cutting down thisllcs and other weeds. He can't strike quite as hard a blow as he could before his encounter- with Mr. Lamb’s team; but, by keeping," his hoe well sharpened, is still a match for the toughest burdock that rears its. prickly head above the surrounding herbage. DOMINION DAY AT LINDSAYâ€"0n» Saturday, July lst, the citizens of Lindsay will hold a monster demons- stration. The programme includes a regatta, fircmcu's competition, athletic sports, horse races, promenade concerts, and will conclude with a magnificent display of fireworks by Prof. Hand of Hamilton.
