THE WRECK OF THE SCHILLER
Narrative of a Survivor.

New YORK, May %.
We are now getting, through English
correspondents, details of the wreck of the
lost steamship Schiller. The narrative OF
Slas Hexter, German, is painfully inter.
esting. He says, "The fog was so thick
we could hardly see our hands just as
the bell rang heard the ship strike and
felt her humping the rocks; then the sea
began to break on deck.
Before she struck at a. m. great
many passengers were on deck looking for
land; afterwards the women and children
below were screaming and running about
half nude; in the cabin the ladies were ex-
claiming, "Oh, we are LOST" and the faces
of husbands and relatives were blanched
with fear.
ran then to the cabin to get life pre-
server, but they were all gone; l returned
again to the deck and jumped into boat,
and the men in her drove me out; got in
again, but jumped out because we could
not get the boat off the deck. The sea re-
commenced to break on the deck, and the
ship was bouncing, while men, women
and children were running about scream
ing.
On my return to the lifeboat one man ex-
claimed, in German, at you don't let so |
will cut your hands off," / then went to
another boat and got into it there were
seven men IN il ; at that time the boat was
swinging one of the officers cut the ropes
and our boat fell into the sea big wave
filed the boat with water Immediately and
drove lis under the ship, but another drove
us out again ; our boat got full OF water
and We commenced baiing it out with our
hands, hats and boots.
We could see nobody on board the
screaming lasted till 4:30 the last cry
heard, which shall never forget, was the
voice of little child the lights in the
cabin all went out. Mixed up with the
hearlrending screaming was the loud crack
ing of the ship as wave after wave broke
upon her the reports sounded like thunder.
We then rowed away and rescued two
drowning men. At six o'clock we discov-
cred house on one of the islands we con-
tinued to pull towards it, and all gave
thanks to God Almighty for our deliver
ance.
