Toronto, Ont., Nov. 25.—Objection is taken by \ the crew of the wrecked barge Iowa to certain statements which are going the rounds of the press*, The following statement by the Captain, and signed by all of them, has been forwarded for publication to the Toronto Mail: "Southampton, Nov. 23.—Tbe Iowa, owned at Buffalo, cleared from Alpena on Thursday, the 35th inst., in tow of the Oregon, with a cargo of lumber shipped by Comstock and consigned to E. B. Holmes, of Buffalo. All went well till 5 p. m. When ten miles above Point, ait:: Barques the line parted. I then tried to work down 'the lake. When the line parted it was blowing and snowing so hard I could see the Oregon only at timss, and if the' Oregon had looked for us the next day I think she would have found us. We had the cabin buttoned up, but the sea was breaking clean' over., and about 7 or 8 p. m. the cabin was washed away, carrying my wife and two children with it. The vessel was now covered with ice, so as to become utterly unmanageable. We remained in that condition till Sunday morning, when we were taken off by the John McKay. He took us to Stokes Bay, where everything possible was done to make us comfortable. Wh en leaving I told McKay to try to save the vessel. Upon arriving at Stokes Bay, it was found that all of us were more or less frost-bitten, the pain of which was jl lessened by the tng Phoenix arriving and taking '¦ us to-day to Southampton, where we are now at Busby's Hotel, where everything care aud medical assistance can do for us is being done." This is signed by J. Taylor, captain; Chas. Taylor, mate; John Burke, John Callaghan, Peter McGlenn. John Halliard, sailors. The witnesses are Captain James Johnson, Edward S. Busby. The Iowa had 362,000 feet of lumber ties, went dowu in eight feet of water, and will prove a total loss. None of the crew will lose limbs. ^ ¦ fcrifiCWflP the1 Wfri-JST.
