High Praise.

A great sensation was caused by the tragedy of the Saint Leonards, and the London "Standard" commenting on the saving of all hands, said "Englishmen may all read with a feeling of pride the account of the coolness and presence of mind displayed alike by officers, crew, and passengers. The quickness with which the boats were lowered is in strong contrast to the delay and bungling that have occurred in two or three collisions during the last few months. The saving of the people of the Saint Leonards may be cited as a model of what should take place on such an occasion; calmness and coolness prevailing, the boats being rapidly lowered, first the passengers and then the crew, and lastly the captain taking theirpage 69 places in them, and they row off just as the ship goes down. High credit is due to all concerned."
