of the crew were mostly saved The Captain
and some of the officers remain by the ship,
but as the water covers all portions of the
after part the hope of saving the vessel and
cargo is not great As soon as the Dakota
struck, distress rockets were fired and the
coast guard promptly responded, throwing
line to the vessel Presently a boat was
launched from the ship. Then the shrieks of
woman and childred were heard The pas
sengers were handed down one by one from
the bow of the steamer to the boat. Comm
