CALAMITY AT SEA. l EXCURSION STEAMER FOUNDERS. IUR PASSENGERS DROWNED foe Guernsey passenger steamer Courier, Wtth a crew of nine and about twenty passen- gers, foundered off Sark on Monday soon after leaving that island on the return to Guernsey after a day's excursion. The vessel sank immediately. The majority of the passengers and crew succeeded in clambering on the rocks, whence they were rescued by steamers which put out from Guernsey. An engineer, two firemen, and one male passenger, whose name has not been ascertained, were drowned. The weather was quite clear, and no explanation of the disaster is available. The rocks on which the Courier struck axe well known to local navigators, and are visible from Guernsey. The engineer's body has been recovered. English People Missing. A later message from Guernsey states that a, man named Thorburn, of Edinburgh, was drowned, and the following are missing:- Engineer Holland, a native of Southampton; two firemen, belonging to Guernsey; Miss Frances Waller and Miss Smith, both of Lon- don; Misig Long; a boy named Marshall Eushton Ozanne, of Guernsey; and a boy named Edwards, also of Guernsey. Lloyd's Guernsey agent states that three paspengrers and three of the crew were drowned. The Yllies in ten .fathoms. The boiler exploded whilst foundering. Struck a Submerged Rock. Telegraphing la-le on Monday night, a Guernsey correspondent states that the Courier struck a submerged rock, and imme- diately began to settle. The passengers and crew numbered about 30, and twelve of the former were immediately placed in one of the ship's boats. Directly after the vessel foundered. All those remaining on board, with the exception of the engineer and two firemen, who were unable to reach the deck in time, were thrown into the sea. The disaster was witnessed from Guernsey, and the steamer Alert immediately went out, followed by a number of small launches, and picked up the survivors, after they had been in the water for half an hour.
