THIRTY BRAVE SEAMEN 60 DOWN TO DEATH.
The steamship Fuda which arrived AT New
FORK July Il, from Bremen, ran down an un-
known fishing schooner on the Banks of New
foundand the preceding Saturday morning
A dense fog prevailed at the time, and the
schooner disappeared astern almost Immediate
lv after the collision.
At the time of the collision he schooner's en-
tire crew, apparently numbering about thirty
men, were on deck clinging to the rigging, ut
tering cries for help. Their vessel seemed to
those on the steamer to be rapidly sinking.
The air was filled with frantic shouts, which
caused all the passengers of the Fulda to leave
the breakfast table and rush eXcitedly to the
deck.
The scene that followed beggars description.
The hardy fishermen who wore red shirts and
red caps, loudly shouted the "Ava Maria,"
while some of them endeavored to climb up the
steamers side, but slipped back into the water
before assistance could be given them. While
the steamer swept through the schooner, 90 or
30 of the fishermen could be seen rushing from
the cabin to the deck CT the sinking schooner.
They sprang into the rigging. vainy Gndeav-
orng to escape an almost inevitable doom.

sengers, amid the plaintive cadences of the
poor tishermen's Ave Maria," the little
schooner, now cut in two with its heroic crew
clingng to the rigging, suddenly Disappeared
fishermen persisted. Capt Ring Immediately
turned around and for over an hour searched
for the wreck and its victims. The fog, still
dense and thick. refused to disclose them, and
reluctantly the officers of the Fultla resumed
their voyage.
The officers said the wrecked fishing smack
was Il large two masted schooner Of the reglla-
ton style of the bank schooner. As far as
could he observed, she carried 1G dories, which

Her sails were furlcd and only the lookout and

The fate of the men is unknown. 1t NAV DC
that they were rescued by some other fishing
schooner, for Capt. Ring says, judging from
the peals of fog-horns which he heard when
searching for the men, he concluded that he
was in the midst of an immense fleet of fishing
smacks. The disaster occasioned universal
sorrow aboard the steamer, but the officers say
that they are not responsible, as every precau-
ton was observed.
