the vessel. AT 81 o'clock the vessel
struck, and shortly after commenced
humping quite hard. Several vessels
passed us, but paid no attention whatever

lie boats to be got in readiness and soon
had them swung out, but did not deem |
it safe to lower them in such n heavy |
sea. One boat was lowered against my .
positive order, and she was almost mmc. I
diately swamped, and six persons, who .
we're in her, were drowned A tremen.
dous sea swept the decks few minutes
later and washed overheard many of the |
passengers who had all previously been
protected with life-preservers After this |
l ordered the passengers TO take to the |
rigging, and some sought safety On the |
wheel-housc, from which position they !
were rescued by R tug boat about ten
o'clock in the morning
