made several descents, but failed to open
the cabin doors. At last he succeeded.
A. the cabin door was opened, the first
thing he saw was two women fully
dressed suspended in the water. The
rush Of water carried them toward him,
and they appeared to be alive. He
stepped back in horror, and it was some
time before he gained sufficient courage
to enter the cabin. There he found the
women who were passengers on that ill.
fated ship kneeling and holding each
other by the hands, as if they had been
engaged in prayer when the steamer
went down. He then went into tho
smoking room. The cabin was in tho
widest disorder. Chairs and tables
were turned upside down, bottles were
scattered about, and tho mon lay on the
floor as if they had persisted during .
drunken revel. Most of them had pis-
tolls in their hands. Scenes like this
are common in sunken vessels which
