EMIL CHRIsTIANsON,
born at Erfde, in Schlesswig- Holsten in 1860,
and educated for physician at the colleges OF kiel
and Gessen, was passenger on board the Allan
tic lie took passage In the steerage with three
Others who were friends OF his. There were also
on board four young ladies and two little children,
from the neighborhood OF Erfde. With one of these
young ladies Chrstianson had been acquainted
with on the voyage. From the day when he went
on board at Liverpool to the end Of the unlucky
voyage he Chains that the food was never OF good
quality, though plentiful and there was not sGfii
cient supply OF water. DR.. Chrstanson was asleep
dous but did not throw him from his berth. He was
partially dressed, and thrusting his feet into par
OF slippers he hastily ascended TO the upper deck.
At the hatchway ships officer stopped him and
ordered him below, saying
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
Boys, you have no right on deck at night Chris
Hanson said he had q right to see what caused so
great shock to the ship and the officer must let him
pass or he would box his tthe oiicer'sl ears Alter
some alteration the officer allowed him to pass up.
In the meantime his friends had followed, ana one
OF them, inundated by the onlcer's manner, was
about to return when Christensen stopped him,
and thus saved his lie. On gaining the deck the
lu danger was at once apparent. The sea was not
rock upon which the snip had struck was piany
visible to seward under the starboard bow, and
astern the shore OF Prospect Island loomed up in
distinct In the gray OF early dawn.
An hour after the people upon the island could
be plainly seen. Christianson, thinking OF girlsh
playmate, ran below and to the stern Of the vessel
TO save her, and Just as he came near the mizzen-
mast
HEAVY SEA SWEPT OVER THE DECKS
and he, finding he was too late, rushed back and
to the upper deck. At this moment the Captain
tWilliams) shouted for men to clear one OF the le
boats. Christans0n rushed forward and began to
cut away the boat IL was found to be nailed fast
and the nails had to be drawn. When the ropes
haS all been cleared away. with the exception OF
three small ones in the hands Of Christianson
officers suddenly left Tor another part OF the ship,
ana the llleboat, giving great lurch, threw
IN its return lurch fell upon the Doctors right
hand, crushing 1t. With hts left hand however, he
caught man rope and passed himself along
towards the bow as
THE SHIP GRADUALLY WENT DOWN
stern first sh Ine morning was very cold and the
his side became benumbed by the cold, and letting
go, sunk into the sea and were drowned. Some OF
passengers away from the ropes, in order to get
their places and save themselves. About seven
O'Clock q few OF the islanders were seen bring
ing boat across the land from the opposite
shore. 1t was small boat, however and the
had by that time grown SO violent that It was OF
boats were brought over, launched and came TO
the rescue. In the meantime the ropes which had
been carried to the rock on the starboard side had
SAVING HUNDRED OR MORE
OF the passengers, but the rope swinging from the
rock to the shore had been little used. The life
boats in their first half dozen trips took the people
who remained upon the rock, then, believing the
ship would soon break to pieces, came alongside
and began to take the others of. The third time
the boat came along side, and Just as they were
rowing away; Christlanson who could no longer
maintain his hold on the rope, fell into the sea.
The boat put back and he was drawn up from the
water. It was then ten O'Clock: On arriving at
tine beach he was unable to walk, and two men
took him In their arms and carried him to
FISHERMAN's COTTAGE.
IL was crowded and there was room for him.
He was taken to another cottage. and from this he,
with others, was driven by the sailors who came
ashore and took possession OF It, DR.. ChristansOn
says that he saw the sailors from the Atlantic re-
cover the bodies washing ashore, and that, in the
presence OF himself and many other passengers,
they robbed the bodies OF the women OF the rings
upon their fingers and wrenchcd the earrings from
their ears. The Doctor speaks IN the warmest
manner OF those who so kindly aided himself and
fellow passengers HALIFAX. Boston ana New York.
