TIE DEUTSCHLAND DISASTER.
THE CAPTAINS STATEMENT.

We left Bremerhaven Sunday morning. A
strong northeast wind prevailed. We threw
the lead every half hour. The last lead
thrown showed II fathoms. Felt moderate
shock at $50 on Monday. The engine was
backed immediately, but in few moments q
screw was lost ana the machinery stopped.
The ship commenced to strike heavily. We sig
nailed several vessels which passed, including
o steamer.
Ordered all the boats to be got ready, and
all were swung out, but it was impossible to
lower them, the sea was too high; one boat,
lowered against orders, swamped with six per-
sons; another, with the boatswain, was low
cred, but at the same time the tremendous
sea swept many overheard. The ship filed
slowly; the passengers behaved coolly; all
were provided with life preservers. The
desths were caused by the high sea and cold,
many falling benumbed from the rigging.
The passengers were ordered to the rigging,
the decks being two feet under water.
One of the passengers committed suicide
by opening the veins of his arm. Many of
the rescued were frost bitten beyond re-
covery. Forty of the passengers and fifty Of
the crew are unaccounted for.
