LONDON. Nov. 27.-The passengers of the
wrecked steamer Pommerania who haye
arrived here give graphic accounts of the
collision and of their rescue. They all
unite in praising the conduct of Captain
Schwensen, who unhappily went down
with his ship, but whose courage, GOODNESS
and command over the crew, contributed
largely to the rescue of the survivors. The
Pommerania having touched at Plymouth,
proceeded to Cherbourg, and then steamed
slowly up the Channel. The weather was
very thick, but good lookout was kept
and no uneasiness was felt by the passen-
gers. 1t appears however, that some mis-
calculation had been made as to the exact
course OF the ship, for when the collision
occurred she was only three miles off
Dungeness Point, while her right course
would have placed her at least ten miles
fiom shore.
The shock of the collision was severe.
The other vessel was the sailing vessel Noel
Eilian, a Welsh ship coming from Rotter-
dam and bound for Cardiff, in bal

some passengers in the saloon, but most of
them were in their berths and asleep The
shock awoke them but they were scarcely
aware of their danger before they were ap-
prised of il by the exclamations of the pas
sengers and employees of the vessel The
Captain behaved most splendidly and there
was compare lively little confusion. The
boats on The port side of the ship were
manned and lowered away in ioo,' order.
There was of course pushing N. crowding,
but The excellent EXAMPLE of the Captain
aided grea ly in maintaining order and dis
cpline. He sent for the rockets that are
always kept ready for signal purposes, and
in few moments the dense fog was pierced
by these signals.
The steamer Glengarry, which was for
tunately near at hand, saw the signals and
came to the rescue of The sinking ship.
The sea was calm, and this aided the efforts
to save life. In lowering one of the boats
the bow was permitted to strike the water
TOO soon, and she filled and sunk The
boats on the starboard side had either been
crushed by the collision or had become so
iammed that they could not be lowered
away. ri
Nothing could be seen of the Welsh bark
until some time after the collision. She
did not run away, as was reported, but she
was severely injured, and being under sail
could not be handled very expeditiously.
The wind was from the northeast.
The crew behaved well, and there. was a
general disposition among the passengers,
with some few exceptions, to save the
women and children first. The Captain alb
solutely refused to leave the ship until
every one else had got off, and as this could
not be done, he went down with her.
When last seen he was standing on the
bridge, giving orders in calm, determined
voice. The ship sunk slowly, going down
by the head and settling gradually. The
survivors all speak in the highest terms of
the officers and crew of Prommerania and
of the kindness they have received at
Dover and here. 1t is now believed that
only fifty-eight of the passengers and crew
were lost.
