The Cimbria left Hamburg on Thursday
with $50 passengers and crew numbering
no. She ran aground before leaving the
Elbe, but got off with the flood tide, with the
assistance of the Hansa, without having sus-
tanned damage, and she put to sea at 2.30
| O'Clock in the afternoon. On Friday NOM
ing she came into collision during a thick
| fog off Borkum with the steamer Sultan. The
| Cimbria sank in q short time. When the
boat with the thirty mine passengers arrived
| the company sent out the steamer Hansa and
the four largest available steamers at Cux-
haven to search for other boats. The West
Indian steamer Bavaria also left during the
night with a similar object. The steamer
Sultan, which sustained heavy damage, has
arrived in the Elbe.
