iieporta of the sad. occurrence in English papers received by the 'Fris co mail contain, the statements ot syaie of the survivors:

Colonel G. W. Dixon, of Sutton, Surrey, who was, witli his wile aim son, amongst the passengers savea Irom the Stella, states that during the passage home from Southampton 10 was remarked by several peopit i hat it was unusual to gjj at such a speed through the fog. -While 1 wa& talking (he adds) to a friend—Mr. Townsend, of Wijmbleton, one of the missing—about it, a friend of his, a native of Guernsey, said he haa crossed the channel a good many times, but had never known a steam er to run like that in ajog. Just at the foot of the bridge 1 met the cap tain, who was standing there smoK ing. I said: "It is an unfortunate thing, this fog," and he replied: 'Yes, it has spoiled a good run.' For tunately, we had four sailors and Reynolds, the second mate, with us iii the boat in which we escaped from the sinking ship. We rowed about until 7 o'clock, and saw several people floating in lifebelts, but evidently dead. Reynolds then said that the safest thing to do would be to an ohor, and the anchor was got out and dropped.. The other boat which ac companied us had no anchor, and was made fast by a rope to our boat. The tide was running very strongly^— about eight knots an hour-—and sud denly we found that the strain of the two boats was too much for Jthe small anchor, and that we were drifting. Within a minute or two we touched the rocks, and in getting clear we lost our rudder. Reynolds told us we must pull for our lives and get away, or we should have the boat smashed. We pulled, out, and eventually got into the Aldernay race. During the whole nigl^ my duty was to stand up in the boat and listen, for the roar of the breakers and look for lights. When 1 heard anything the boat was stopped, and Reynolds listened carefully, so that he might know in which direc tion to pull in order to get away from the danger. I also had to keep nry eyes on the other boat to see we did not lose it.
