The collision occurred almost before those on

thought he was sinking. The Noel Eilian was toe
much disabled to render assistance. Seven feet OF
her bow was carried away. Her lights were burn

the starboard tack. The Pommersnia ran across
her bows and came on. to the port bow turning her
around completely. and then went away at full

sunk until he arrived at Folkstone.

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE.


THE STEAMER STRUCK BY BARK IN THE ENGLISH
CHANNEL AT MIDNIGHT AND SUNK IN LESS THAN
HALF AN HoUR-172 PERSONS RESCUED; ABOUT
65 LOST.
The English Channel was the scene OF o
great disaster on Monday night. Near mid
night the bark Noel Eilan struck the Ham
burg American line steamship PommeranIa,
bound from this port for Hamburg,
and in about twenty minutes the
steamer sank beneath the waves. AS
she began to sink six boats were sue
cessfully launched. They were Immediately
filed with people, and one was so
overloaded that it sank instantly. The
steamer ,Glengarry came to the rescue
and took on board 172 persons, whom 1t
landed at Dover, where they were all kindly
treated. Captain Schwensen behaved with
great coolness. Some of the officers sup
posed that he went down with the steamer,
but late telegram announces his arrival at
a Dutch port. 1t is estimated that 90 per-
sons were lost. Nearly all the crew were
saved.
