TIE propell-rs engine had been revers.
ed ten mnIlos before the collision. The
atlantic continued her course three miles
before the engine was stopped by the water
exiinguishing the fires.
Soon as the propeller repaired damages
she started for the steamer aud found her
sinking fast.
The lake was strewn for miles with float.
ing fragments, and persons clinging to
them for lie. Every exertion to save the
passengers was made. but a great many
were drowned. probably $50 lost. The
books OF the Atlantic were lost, and the
clerk cannot tell exactly the number lost.
He estimates five to six hundred on board,
before the accident, mostly emigrants,
over 200 were picked up by the propeller.
When the collision took place passen-
gers were all in bed. Wheh the steamers
struck the utmost CONSERVATION ensued

were chiefly Norwegian emigrants. Many

the boat was rapidly sinking. and scene

of frantic terror. The cabin passengers

ton we can gather. we are led to believe
that not less than 800 lives we're lost.
The clerk of the Atlantic saved nothing.
He thinks there were from five 10 six hun.

Of whom were emi grants and between

with the exception of two or three walters,
