The panic aboard the Thingvalla when
the shock occurred was almost as great
as that on the Geiser. but as it was soon
apparent that there was no danger of the
vessel sinking Immediately. the officers
succeeded In quieting the excited people.
Captain Laub's crew were under
excellent discipline. A few moments later,
however, when it was learned that water
was pouring in at the forward bulkhead,
the passengers again became excited and
crowded around the boats. The cries OF
the struggling people from the Geiser
added to the excitement The officers re-
tanned their composure. and forced the
people back from the vessels side. Cap.
tain Laub ordered the cargo removed
from the forehold. This caused the for.
ward part to rise SO that the hole In the
bow was out of water. The vessel was
then safe for the time being, and the fears
of the passengers were Gained.
The work of ressuing the Geiser's poo
pie had already been begun and was
pressed with vigor. Every man of he
crew that could be spared was engaged in
working with the small boats, and the
search was kept up until there was no pos
sibility that any one remained ahoat and
unaided. They cruised around until day.
light.
The Thingvalla, after taking aboard
the thirty five rescued persons, had over
five hundred passengers, beside a crew
OF sixty men. She was badly disabled,
and when. a fter five hours slow and
careful sailing, the Wieland was sighted,
arrangements were quickly mode by
which every one, except officers and
crew, were transferred to the latter
steamship.
Captain Laub and his crew refused 90
abandon the Thingvalla, though she could
only make two knots an hour. She was
one hundred and fifty miles from Halifex
when the Wieland left her. Should
storm arise before she reaches a port, the
men will have to take to the life-boats.
At her rate of travelling she can not reach
New York before Friday. and with rough
weather will be detained till Monday or
Tuesday. Her agents, Messrs Punch s..
Edge, express confidence that she will
reach here safely.
The Wieland had an uneventful voyage
after leaving the Thingvalla, and safely
landed her large load of passengers at
her dock In Hoboken last night The
rescued people were mostly taken to the
Hotel Denmark, No. 81 Greenwich street
