HAMBURG,Jan 21.-The Cimbria sustaine
such severe injuries in the collision it at
once became apparent she mus sink al
most Immediately. The officers, therefore,
did all in their power to save
lives without moments time being lost.
Life belts were distributed among the
passengers, and an order given to lower
the boats. This, however, in consequence
of the vessel sheeting over on her side, was
found to be very difficult on one side, and
absolutely impossible on the other. As the
second officer was still engaged in cutting
the spars loose, so that there should be as
much drift-wood as possible for the people
to cling to, when the inevitable laundering
should occur, the vessel
WENT DOWN UNDER FArEEr.
He seized spar, but, asseverA other
persons clung TO it, was obliged to let go,
and he swan to boat. This boat was
subsequently, picked up by the Theta.
The second officer steered the Theta to
Coxhaven. Seventeen other persons have
been saved by the steamer Diamont from
Meser lighthouse, making ffty-six thus far
known to be rescued. a
