was, unfortU nately, under steam, and running at
the rate Of about nine knots an hour. The Sew-
mole was reeline on about ten knots, and
II was not long before they met. The cotton
loaded steamer had the advantage as she was
coming bow on. She struck the Mont
gomery just sbsft the piot-houee, crush
ing In the bulwarks and cutting into
her side away below her water line.
The bow also struck on the side of the second

down utterng pteous cries for assistance. 30
far did the Sem mole enter the side OF the Mont
gomery that those on deck saw At glance there
was no help for her and they sprang at
once for the deck Of the Seminole. The
Captain and mate were OF the number, while
two or three who attempted TO escape In this
way fell short Of their mark and leaped into
| the sea, to meet death almost instantly. The

| Montgomery sank. The stokers, with two ex-
ceptions, had not time to gain the deck, and

steamer.
Nothing Is known regarding the death OF the
