Scenes On the Lost Cimbria.
dANBURG, Jan. 2.-R. G. Lorenoo. of
frankfurt, one of the rescued. gives a
long account of the terrible scenes he
Witnessed. Though all the officers aid
their duty nobly. they we're unable To
maintain order. Men, women and Chill,
dren were mad with fear. Those Who
secured places had a violent STRUGGLE To
Keep their boats from being swamped. !.
The six Indians were driven avav hv
some sailors by axe blows on their
hands. Capt. Hanson stood till the last
moment on the bridge, but had no con.
troll over the 500 terror stricken human
beings beneath him. Men, women and
chlldren-whole fanilies-clunp tooeth-
or IN despair. One young married
couple preferred to meet death ouiokly
oy cutting each others veins. Shin
Doctor Herr Feighoms, the steward
and stewardess of the Bayariau. and
seine officers, distributed life saving
belts TO the last momont, but those thus
provided were not benefited, for most of
them died from severe cold. The sur
vivors who escaped in boats. saw that
when they rowed away the water was
covered with dead bodies kept mn bv
belts. Only few were alive when thew
left, and of these as many w,re taken
into the boats as possible, No com
plant has been made against the CHM
bria's crew, although of the saved
twenty-five belong to this class. Cant
Hansen stood on the bridge till the shin
sank. The first officer, Karlowa. worked
for the benefit of passengers to the last
moment. The second officer. Sprut zen.
with an axe was cutting off woodwork
TO make RATS for passengers while the
ship was going under water, and after
she went down he was picked up by one
OF the boats. Many families of six per
sons sank together. One thing is GER
tain, however, that there never was the
slightest chance of saving one-third of
the people on board by means of the
boats, oven had they all been launched.
and great and presumably Just is the
indignation against the Captain of the
Sultan. There will doubtless be a
searching inquiry instituted as to the
duty OF the steamship company in pro-
viding sufficient facilities for the escape
OF every passenger on board.
According to the statement of anoth-
er survivor. at 2 O'Clock Friday morning
Capt. Hansen received a report that the
Cimbria's lights were all burning prop
erly. The breach made BY the collision
was 90 great that the Cimbria immedi-
ately lay right over with a portion OF
her deck under water.
The 80 persons brought into Cuax
haven had been the occupants of two
boats. The other II persons saved were
brought In by the Theta. No more per-
sons have landed from the Cimbria. A
sailing vessel passing to the westward
may have picked up some of the surviv-
ors. -Four steamers have not vet re-
turned.
