TOUCHING SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
Other survivors in their statements say it
was very dark when the steamer struck and
the vessel remained upright drifting back
ward, while the passengers were crowded on
deck. After drifting several lengths astern
the vessel iurched and the sea swept every
thing. The Farnsworth boys climbed into
the rigging and were saved through the
energy Of John White, seaman. The sur
vivors saw one boat containing seven women
upset and the sea soon demolished the boat.
They say it was fearful to see the women
swept off. Some rushed on deck with their
husbands and as the full force of the storm
broke upon them, realizing all was lost. they
threw their arms around their husbands
necks and babe them good-by. A few mo-
ments later they were swept overheard A
mother, with her child held tight in her srus,
was borne away by the waves almost before
reaching the deck. Not one woman reached
the rigging and a majority were washed over
board by the waves. A number were prOba-
bly, smothered in their berths. After the
vessel struck a quartermaster came up and
said the steamer was making water. The
Captain then got all the boats ready. The
ship listed and all that could got on the star
board side. Some were washed from the
port side into the sea. La five minutes the
ship righted and sunk. From the time she
struck until she listed it was fifteen minutes.
