A Disastrous COllisiOn---FOrty or More
Persons Drowned.

LONDON, Nov. 26.
THE Hamburg-Ame Line steam
er Pommerania, Capt. Schwensen,
which sailed from New York on the
14th of November for Hamburg, and
arrived at Plymouth at midnight the
oath, came in collision last night about
midnight, during the fog, about eight
miles southwest of Folkestone, with a
vessel reported to be the Welsh bark,
Noel Eilian, of Carnarvon, from Rot
terdam for Cardiff, in ballast. The
Pommerania at the time was on her
way from Plymouth to Hamburg. The
steamship foundered in about ten min
utes. One hundred and seventy-two of
her passengers and crew were saved by
the iron screw steamer Glengarry, of
Middlesborough and landed at Dover.
The vessel with which the Pommerania
was in collision is anchored off Folke-
stone, with her bows stove and her for
ward compartment full of water
Further particulars of the Pommera-
MIA disaster show that at the time of
the collision she was near Dungeness
Point, about three miles from shore.
She was struck on the starboard side
amidships and sunk in less than twenty
minutes. Distress signals were given
and responded to by the steamer Glen
garry, proceeding down the channel,
which made all speed toward the scene
of the disaster.
There were nine boats on the POM
merania, five of which were crushed in
the collision. Five were got off, but
one being overcrowded with passen-
gers was sunk. All the boats pulled
away from the doomed ship, leaving
her Captain, who refused to quit the
ship until the last moment The last
boat to leave was under the chief Of

The last survivor of Napoleon's ex-
pedition to Egypt has just died at the
Invalides in Paris. The veteran, Oar
rey by name, who had almost attained
his hundredth year, was fond of relat-
ing how he was on duty in Egypt on
the day the murderer of Kleber was ex-
ecuted. Kleber was assassinated at
Cairo in June, 1900, by a fanatic named
Soleyman, who, after having been con-
demned to death, had his right hand
burned off, and was then impaled. Tor
tured by thirst, he called for something
to drink, and Darcy, touched with COM
passion, gave him a glass of water.
Darcy had been for more than half a
century at the Invalides, which now
contains very few old soldiers.

Immediately returned to the bridge,

was passing at the time, heard cries for
help, but could see nothing. Never
theless she lowered her life-boats, and
Captain Schwensen was found floating
on piece of wood.
Thomas Blight, certifcated officer of
the English Mercantile Marine, who
embarked on the Pommerania at Ply
mouth, was under examination all yes
terday morning by the Receiver of
Wrecks, and has been detained at
Dover by the Board of Trade because
of the nature of his evidence. He says
the Pommerania was going at from half
to three-quarterS speed. There was a
good lookout and lights were burning,
and it was not foggy, He heard no
whistle or fog-horn. Before the steamer
sunk there was time to save every life
if order had been maintained He was
beside the Captain when the latter put
on his life-belt. He heard no orders
given. 1t was too late for orders. One
of the officers told him the doors of the
water-tight bulkheads were all open.
There was no more sea than in the
Thames. All could have been saved if
the sailors had not rushed to the boats.

ficer who did all in his power to per-
suade the Captain to leave. After pull
ing for half ar hour survivors were
picked up by the Glengarry. The Glen
garry stayed near the scene till day
break, when the Pommerania was seen
with her mast above water; the Glen
garry then proceeded to Dover with
those saved, and landed them at nine
O'Clock, when they were taken to the
Sailors Home, treated with every kind
ness and breakfasted. The greatest
possible order, under the circum-
stances, was maintained by officers
and crew.
The various accounts of survivors
concur in praising Capt. Schwensen, and
his officers, but represent that the crew
only added to the confusion by de-
termination to save themselves. Capt.
Schwensen, to quell the excitement,
told the passengers the vessel was
aground. Roderick Schneider, a pas
senger, states that the Captain, reply
ing to repeated entreaties to get into
one of the boats, asked them to stand
alongside, when the mate shouted:
1--WE have waited long enough" The
Captain told them to pull away a little
and wait. just then the vessel went
down. Capt. Schwensen threw up his
arms and exclaimed: 80, Godr'
While the boat was rowing about we
saw many people in the water with life
preservers wrongly put on, so that the
lower part of the body was floating
while the head was under water. The
conduct of the second boatswain on
board the steamer in endeavoring to
save the ladies was admirable, and the
carpenter stood by with a Ratchet
threatening to kill anybody who at
tempted to rush into the boats.
Capt Pritchard, of the bark Noel
Eilian, is very reticent, and refuses to
show his log. He says he was going
down the Channel at five knots an hour;
he was on deck. The Noel lillian had
been sounding the fog horn all night,
until the steamers lights were visible.
The collision occurred almost before
those on board the Noel Eilian were
aware. The blow was glancing one,
the bark bounded off, and he did not
again see the steamer. Capt. Pritch-
ard thought he was sinking. The Noel
Eilian was too much disabled to render
assistance. Seven feet of her bow was
carried away. Her lights were burning
brightly at the time. She was sailing
free on the starbeard tack. The Pom.
merania ran across her bows and came
on to the port bow, turning her around
completely, and then went away at full
speed. He was not aware that the
Pommerania had sunk until he arrived
at Folkestone.
