Italians drowned seem to have lost their
wits from terror and jumped overheard
without waiting to see what could be done
for safety. Persons lost include Conner,
quartermaster, and Cochrane steward.
Neither passengers nor crew were able
to save anything, and many persons were
obliged to leave the ship with but little
fog had cleared a little sooner all would
have been saved. The theory concerning
the drowning of the seamen, is when the
vessel lurched they were struck by the
rigging, and rendered insensible. One man
was found dead in the rigging. The
passengers of the City of Brussels have
drawn up the following memorial: We,
who have been rescued from a watery
