All the reat went to the bottom with their heavy cargoes, which con. t aUted of tosL On nearly every bargo there were ' women and children, and, although as jet It is not known that any were lost, It la little short of mlrao- lous that anybody on board the loat boats eicaped alive. Tho captain In charge ot iho tow Is rcportod to havo placed tho number at twenty-one and the lost at nineteen. , Late baturday afternoon a tow of about thirty barges laden with hard and soft coal arrived at Uergen Point. They were brought thorb by the tags Willie and Winnie, of tho Delaware and Ran tan Towing Company, which Is controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. At BergenPolnt the tow was divided, half of the barges remaining at the l'olnt, whilo tholotbcr fifteen were made Into a tow or three tiers, with Oto barges to a tier. It was blowing nard at mldntgnt when this tow, which It was decided should go through to New York, was made up, and. In view of a rough pis sage, the barges wero tightly lashed together with unusual care. In tho lront tier wcro the Time HoghcB, tho Ocean Queen, Iho Florence Moore, and two others. Theso wcro tho largest barges of tho fleet, and wcro Intended to break the forco of the seas from the lighter ones. Somo of them wcro quite new, and worth from U, ooo to 13, 000 cacli. In tho Ave which made tho second tier was tho A. C. llanncgan, commanded and owned by Copt. Albert II. Vcddcr, of South Amboy. Tho tow was pulled by tho powerful tugllordcntonn, alio ol tho Delaware and Itarltan Towing Com pany, ami commanded by Capt. Fagln. Nejrlr nil tne captains of the brrges are married men aud live with their families on board their boats, .Many ot these cabin homes are mted up, with something like luxury, having line carpets, food furntturo aud now ana then a piano or an organ. In a good many Instances tho uaptalns own (liiebirges on which they lire, and tho boat, tho furniture and tho llttlo family around him repre- sents about all Ms earthly tit. Altogether there must have been in tho neighborhood of Ufty souls m thu noet when It vts towed from Herges l'olnt j-aturduy night. Capt. Vedder, of tho A. O. Uan- HiciMn, told the reporter a thrilling story of the dls- s cr which befell them. m B "We had not been nut twenty minutes," ho (Hild, " before I w'shed we had not come, Sev- ral of tho ujpuius ot barges uid not want to go, at Capt. l'agtn, of the lug liordentown, Instated.

TUMI, L vie commenced swinging lights and snouting at 7 ue tops of our voices to the lloruentown to turn Hi about and run back to Bergen Point. After a long i time she rteuonded and things oecamo easier. If ; she htd continued her course and gone back to Uergen Point not a boat would have been lost. But just as we wero beginning to think we were all rlgbt again, the liordentown suddenly swnng her head back to the old courso and made straight for New York. " in less than no time the Tillle Hughes in front of mo had ton ultor ton of water dumped on her from the heavy seas. Finally, she plunged her nose right down luto tho waves ana dove straight to the bottom. I knew then that It was a scramble lor life. I rushed down into my cabin. Jly wile was sound asleep and so was my nlue-year-oia boy. I had them out In a Jiffy and hustled them ou deck. All my wife was aldo to put on over her night clothes was an old wrapper. Tho boy had nothing but his night cloli.ei: Tho llrst toing I taw when I cot on deck with them was the lights of a tug which was heading straight for us. It was very dark and the wind ripped and toro abont as so wo had to cling with our very cyclahea to keep Ironi being swept away, livery ininuto or so wo got a dousing from tno seas which wcro washing over us. Tne tug wis soon alongside. 1 ' Uow 1 got my wife and child on board her I hardly know. Hoc was pitching and Jumping eight or ten feet out of the water and the barge wasn't much steadier. I stayed behind to try to save the oarge. I was afraid ot the boats ahead ot me diving under and pulling me down with them, , sj I got uu axe an I vvus scrambling forward to cut .' the lathings to thu Floronce Moore. At that mo- ( mcDt her stcrd shot up In tho air and then dlsnp- t l eared bonoath the waves. As she weat down the l.sblngs to my barge snapped or she would ccr s talnly nave dragged me down wltn her. Tho cup. tain and icoplo on tho Hughes, which was tho Unit ' to go down, had tscaped to tno iloore, and when the Moon was swamped they and tne Moore's eople got to the Ocean Queen. " While this was going ou the tug which had rescued in j i wife and child had been going from targe to barge taking the people off. The women uid children all over the fleet were now awake and on deck, and their shrieks and cries seemed all mound you as though hundreds of people were struggling In the water In every dirtullon. Iho ' lug was soon crowded with, half-drebsed women :. and children and with a good many of the barge captains. This tug proved to be the Wllllo which huil helped to tow the fleet from Booth Am boy to Uergen l'olnt. Her people hud become nneasy at the violence of the gale alter we left the Point, and put out alter us. About tho time the flrat barge went down tho Doroentown whittled for assistance aud ner signals were heard on board the Willie. Had it not been for her the loss ot life would have been frlghtfnl. " Wen, I saw barge after Darge go down all atouna me, some dragging their neighbors down with them. But as one barge went down the people would scramble to another. I soon had three camalna on my barge and ti was plain our tnrn was close at hand. Just then the lloarden town came tow ards us. Iprusheddown intqthe cabin to see what I could grab hold ol to save and one ot the captain's came with me." ' Here, " no said, take hold of this. " "I grabbed hold lot It, hardly noticing what It wss and wa chocked It on the liordentown. It turned oat to be a sewing machine. This and tne clothes I stand lu is everything 1 have left. The eargi, which was my home, and all my household goods In u are ut tho bottom of tho bay. ' My wife and I feel the sorest at heart over losing sn old trunk with a few dollars' worth of clothes nd trinkets lu It. Well, the clothes and tho trln sets sod the playthlugs were those of my little boy &d girl who died a short time ago, ami we thought jje world of them. My wife shouted to mr, whsa joe U title drew off with her on board, to save that trunk, oner, a little later, when l thought my rgc was going saro, I rue Into the cabin, got the trunk, and threw It onto tho next barge.

They were about a mile apart and wero drifting towards tho Narrows. They soon after went to pieces. Nobody was seen on the bsrges.

Tho seas were so heavy that the barges fllltd with water and began sinking. As last as they began going uown the men aboard them would climb to the next boats and cut them loose with hatchets. Capt.

The rest went down In the ohannel between lcobbln'alteet Light and the lower end of Statcn Ialand. " lloatman Cassldy added that the tog Parker, be longing to the same line as the uordsntown, also lost a barge losded with coal in coming out ot the Kills Saturday night.

Tbcro need be no anxiety regarding the prcieneo of yellow fever on board the new crntier lloston, which arrived from Port au Prince, Uaytt, Satur day morning. There have been no new oases since the 10th Inst. Ot tho four men who died It Is more than probable that two of thorn would havo lived had It not been for the continuous rolling and pitching of tho ship in a four-days' galo of wind. Tho two seamen, Thomas and Mitchell, who are now recovering, will be tranitcrrcd to the quaran tine hospital Immediately. Surgeon W. L blmon, tho only remaining Invalid, Is too weak to be moved at present. He nas had no fever for three days, and would recover were it not tor extreme weak ncsi and danger from failure of tho heart. Ills die hai been a peculiarly trying one. .nc has been sick ten days, and the motion of the ship t really tsxed his strength and prevented his retaining nourish ment. As soon as tho ship ran Into smooth water his condition improved, and It Is hoped that ho may yet recover. 1 hero Iibb been no panic among the officers or crew ot tho lloston, and there wcro numerous vol unteers to nurse the sick, some of whom had Had previous experience with the disease. Tucso vol unteers rendered lalthfnl service. It Is Impossible to account for tho slcknrsi on bosrd the boston. In none of the ports visited wero tao meaallowed to leave the ship, and pre vious to the visit to Pott au Frinco there had becu no sickness ol any kind on board the ship. At l'ortau l'rluce, whloh has a reputation for yellow fever, tho precautions wero doubled. Tho only explanation that can bo given Is that those at tacked were peculiarly susceptible to the climatic influences that produce tho fever. Tuo lloston will be carefully fumigated aud frozen out, and In view ot all that naa been done, and from the fact also that no new cases have ap peared lot six days, It may be positively stated that the trouble Is over. Whenrthe lloston left Port en Prince there was no anro Indication as to the probable result of the -fasitlrtittv 7rHsvJaattanHavtlan;ttepobuo The three northern provinces still refuse to support the present UovernraeuySl Port au Prince, whloh was established by the revolution a few weeks ago. if the North had arms it is certain tnst there would be open war between the sections. Dot they are deficient In arms and munitions of war, and the navy,1 controlled by the existing Government, blockades their ports and diminishes the chances ot their obtaining war material from abroad. Whether tho South will attempt to subjugate the North, or win seek to win them over by offering concessions, 1b a matter of conjecture. It would seem, however, that the latter coarse may be fol lowed In preference to the former for poiitlo rea sons. In fact, a small beginning haa already been made by gaming the support of a few disaffected Northerners, who were captured with the Amer ican steamer Uaytlan liepubllo Oct.

Health Officer smith, or the quarantine station, made a trip to the lloston early yesterday morning. On account ot tho terrible w esther a second trip iwas not made, although Dr. Smith was to havo ? oao over in tho afternoon.
