90 not know what became Of my lady
companion. I Jaw many rescued and
many drowning. I do not think all
mad time to come up on deck after the
collision. Soon after boarding the
Glen9ary l saw the Pomme,unia sink.
The Pomnserani6 fired rockets inces-

There Is vast concourse at the Sea-
mems House, at Dover, and great ex.
element prevails. In the rooms are to
be seen many shipwrecked sufferers
who have no clothing on them EXCEPT
loose wrappers. Three little children
would be utterly naked had not the
authorities supplied them with clothing.
CARGO, INSURANCE, ETC.
A New York telegram saws: The POM
'neronid was partly insured by the Home
office company, but the amo unit of in
surance is not known here. She cost a
half million Of dollars.
The cargo of the POmmerania was a
general one and heavy, the principal
consignment being, viz: cotton, 800
bales; lard, 1856 tons; bacon, so boxes:
leather, 142 bales; butter, 1893 pack
ages; seed, 1913 bags; lead, ISL bars;
tobacco, 81 hogsheads; corn, 7S7 BUSH
els; copper motto, 80 barrels; oysters,
14S barrels; sewing machines, 10: 1903
cases cigars; 26 cases of specie. She
had on board Mexican silver to the
amount of $17 500. This was probably
landed at Plymouth.
The Clymer family mentioned are
relatives OF Hon. Hester G. Clymer, of
Pennsylvania.
Another London account says: The
Noel Elian is magnificent
new iron barque Of ITO
tons gross, owned in Liverpool and
built at Sunderland last year. What
was her bow is merely a gaping fissure;
only her water-tight compartments
kept her afoat.
Mrs. Ohrnstein says that she
had retired and was awakened bv
a terrific crash. She sprang from
her berth and gained the deck, where
all was impenetrable darkness. The
Storage passengers were crying loudly
She was pushed toward life boat
which was just then being lowered.
Even alter getting af1oat there seemed
little hope for safety, but they soon saw
the lights of the Gkngdrry, which took
them on board. All speak in the high
est terms of the captain, who was on
the bridge nearly all the previous three
days and nights. The Pomn,erania
landed IA first class passengers. and 26
others at Cherbourg. Chief officer
Franzer, commander of the last boat,
as he put off, was ordered by the
captain, who was on the bridge,
keep as close to the Pommerania as
possible. He laid to about ten yards
from the steamer, but she went down
in few minutes. Officer Franzer says
there was thick fox all day Monday.
About 45 minutes after IL o'clock at
night, without hardly the slightest
warning Of the close proximity of any
vessel, barque appeared over the star
board side, and Immediately crashed
into us Just abaft the funnel.
