The records of another ;frightful acci-
dent come up from the sea. On Monday
night last the Hamburg, American steam
er from New y ork for Hamburg, was run
down by a Welsh barque about eight miles
southwest of Fokcstone In about ten
minutes the steamer foundered, and only
ITO persons We're saved out of 220 on
board. The steamer was under the COM
mand Of Capt. Schwensen, Who with his
crew, performed miracles Of daring in
their efforts 10 save the,lives of those de-
pendent upon them.. -Four OUT of enine
boats on the Pomerania were washed In,
launching. Five got away from the ship,
but one sunk and those on board were lost
The steamer Glengarry, which happened
to be in the vicinity, went to the relief OF
those on the steamer and IN the water and
succeeded in rescuing the bulk OF thosesin
danger. Fifty-eight in all were rescued
from the horrible fate of their fellow voy-
ayers.
1t appears that the Pomerania was trav-
cling at q moderate rate OF speed when
struck. The bark kwas a new iron vessel
OF 400 tons gross, and at the time Of the
accident WAS en- route from Rotterdam to
Caitlitf in ballast. A terrible hole was
torn in her bow by the collision. SIi
The captain OF the steamer remained at
his post to the last, and was finally rescued
by one OF the Glengalry's boats.
