THE STBATHMOBE. _ The following l telegram was transmitted by the Press Agency from Sydney on Saturday The survivors of the Strathmore arrived at Galle on the 17th March. The arrival created a sensation. A relief fund was at once started to have the most of the seamen sent to England, and the Ceylon Government was appealed to about sending the passengers to New Zealand. When out 74 days the ship ran on the rocks at night. About 44 persons were drowned. The remainder lived seven months on a barren island, which had fortunately one good spring. They lived on sea birds and eggs. Several vessels passed, but failed to see their signals. When rescued by the American whaler they were in a destitute and emaciated state, with scarcely a rag on. The Sierra Morena, which took half of those saved from the Amaricftn vessel, arrived at Galle to-day (March 17). According to last accounts, twenty-four more were on the whaler. Further particulars say forty-nine people were saved. Two died on the island, lihree from being frost-bitten, the feet and toes rotting off on the half-bare rock. Fuel was obtained from birds’ feathers. Hardly anything was saved from the wreck. The boats were lost the first night, the rocks being perpendicular. The following are the names of the saved on board the Sierra Morena:— Brittenshaw, D. Wilson, John Fieri e, Walter Smith, John Smith, John Wilson, J. Knight, B. Sinnie, P. Benley, Spencer, Joslin, G, Crobie, Wm. Booko, George Ward, George. Skiddore, S'. Stmndring, Eobert and William Wilson. Left aboard American whaler; Mr and Mrs Wordsworth, Messrs Walker, J. Leak. A.
