LONDON, Sept. Is.
The Forrest struck the Avalanche
amidships, rebounded and struck her
twice further ait, causing her TO oun
der in about three minutes from the
first striking. There was no time TO
launch beats. The night was so dark
it was almost Impossible To discern the
mass of human beings struggling III
the water below, but the survivors say
they will never forget the scene. The
sea must have been literally alive with
human beings to whose cries for help
there could not be any response.
There was a steady drizzle with oc-
casional driving gusts OF rain. The
wind was strong and the sea very
high. Cries we're heard by the crew
of the Forrest, but they were unable to
pive any assistance. The Forres. was
verv leaky, the water gaining so fast
the crew had to abandon her. Three
boats were launched and in these the
whole crew of the Forrest, as Captain
Lockhart supposed, with three men be-
longing to the Avalanche, took places.
1t appears, however, that in the hurry
and excitement of the moment some
of the crew were LETT, for the captain in
his boat observed signal lights burn
ing. At that time, however, rescue
vas hopeless, and the poor feilo"sh
to be left to their fate, h wind and sea
being so rough that the men Thought
their boat would be swain ped every
minute. Unfortunately in the case OF
w of the three boats there Is 90
much reason for the belief that these
fears were realized.
