Story of Columbian's Survivors.

The United States revenue outter Seneca arrived this morn ing at Halifax, having on board four of the survivors of the burned steamer Columbian, who were picked up from a small boat, 40 miles south of Bablo Island, at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning.

The condition of the mon is "pitiful, but it is believed that they will live. The four men Havad are the first officer, Robert Tioro; Oscar Kendal and Pelor Belanger, semen; and Michael Ludwigson, fireman..

According in the -tory of Mr. Tiero, the boat left the Columbing at 2 o'clock on the morning of Monday, May 4, in a great hurry following a heavy explosion, in the burning liner.

"We lind no compass in the boat, as it had been taken out for cleaning. We had matches and a lantern; but there was a strong wiad, and the spray prevented us from striking

a light. The smoke and fire from the Lurning ship enabled us to keep her in aight until day-light. After that rain began to fall and we lost sight of the vessel. We did not attempt to row or sail, but pat over the ses anchor and drifted.

That day a four-faunelled steamer passed us about a mile and a half away, but we were unable to make any signal before she passed us by. Next morning a steamer with a funnel painted in black and red bande passed about four miles away, but we could not attract ber, attention. On the afternoon of the fifth day "a

After we had abandoned the ship he was constantly complaining that we should not be able to last out 14 days and should never see Antwerp again, "On the morning of the 14th day Triel died,
