of Importance this Office is only second

ed to Any one.
New YORK, Aug. l6.-The steamer
Wieland, of tine Hamburg-American
steamship line, has just brought news of
a collision off Sable Island between the
Geiser and Thingvalia, of the Thing
vGiia line, which occurred at 4
o'clock, on the morning of August
14th. The Geiser sank In FIVE minutes af
ter the collision occurred and 105 per
sons were drowned. The ThingvalIa was
so disabled that she had to put into Hal
flax for repairs, after transferring all
her passengers to the Wieland.
PASSENGERS AND CREW.
The Geiser had sc passengers aboard,
~ of whom were drowned or killed in
the collision, and Il wero taken first on
the Thingvallia and then on the Wieland.
The Geiser's crew numbered so, II of
whom were saved and 33 drowned. Cap.
Moller, of the Geiser, was among
those who were saved. The pass
engers of the Thingvliia were transfred
to Wieland, numbered 455. The Geise r
left this port on August II, bound for
Stettin. The Thngvalia was on her
way to this city and was advertised to
leave here on August 25th.
a HEAVY SEA AND DENsR FOO
we're experienced throughout the night and
early in the morning OF August 14th. The
stories differ as TO where the liability
lies if not wholly due 10 the fog and heavy
sea; but the Thingvalia struck the Ceiser
on the starboard side amidships about
four O'Clock in the morning. The boats
| then parted and within five minutes the
Geiser sank. The crew of the Thing.
valia did all they could to save the
Geiser's crew and passengers, but owing
10 the heavy sea only 81 were saved. Nc
other Vessel was near at the time. The
Wielaud on her way to this port was
100 miles away. At IL 80 O'Clock on tbs
morning OF the l4th the Wieland was
j s,g hted. Signs OF distress were made by
tho Thingvalia and the transfer of pas
sengers began. The sea was then very
, heavy, but no misaaps occurred in the
transfer of passengers.

HOW III ALL OCCURRED.
Reports of the Captain Of the Wieland al
the Third Officer

the Third Officer
New York, Aug. 16.--Capt. A. Albers,
of the Wieland, tells the following story 4
At ten O'Clock on the morning OF August
IA we passed some wreckage floating inA
the sea and suspected that an accioent
had happened somewhere lear us.
little later we sailed through sea of oil
and sighted u broken boat of the Geiser.
About IL 80 We sighted + steamer to the
northward about eight miles off
and seeing that she had a flag of
distress up, we ran down to her. II
proved to be the Thingvalia, an / Captain
Lamb of that vessel came to us in n small
boat and begged Us TO take off his pas
sepgers and those he had saved from the
Geiser. He said his own vessel was SO
badly injured he expected her to
sINK AT ANY MOMENT.
The forward compartment had been
com pletely carried away from half way
from the deck to below the water line.
We ssnt out three of our boats and tie
Thingvalia lowered tx0 of hers and in
Ave hours we had transferred the saved
pas. .engers and crew of the Geiser and
also the 455 passengers of the Thingvalia.
The sea was very rough at times aud the
work of transferring passengers was very
d dificult. The immense hole in the
Thingvalia's bow was then patched up as
| we'll as possible, ami she started for Hal
flax. The collision, SO far as known, was
caused by Il fog"
The chief officer of each vessel was on
deck at the time of the collision.
| Third Officer Peterson told much the
same story of the occurrence. He said
h tta
night rain had fallen at intervals. The
first we knew of the Geiser's approach
vas whe II she appeared on the starboard
side
| RIGHT UPON US.
Both vessels attempted to sheer off, be-
| ing head on. The G. User was struck OPP
posite the engine room amidships. The
Geiser being heavily loaded, was very low
in water, so that the Thingvalia carried
away her own compartment. The upper
part of her bow ran over the deck of
the Geiser. The Geiser's deck
houses were carried away and
the state rooms were smashed in and the
occupants killed. He heard bel! ring
in the Geiser's engine room, but could
not tell what the order was. Officer
Peterson was on deck at the time. He
|
time to back, and the steamer
had Just commenced to re-
verse, when the Thingvalia struck,
The Geiser's whistle was blowing g. the
time. Second Officer Fikensen jumped
for the Thingvalia when they struck and
was hauled on the Thingvalia's deck by
some of tbs latter's crew. One of the
Geiser's passengers WAS picked up with
a broken ley.
AS soon rs the Wieland arrived IN the
lower bay, Captain Molier, of the Geiser
left the steamer on revenue cutter.
He went directly TO the Office of the
agents of the comp any whore he was
closeted few moments with the agents.
He only left word that the accident was
due tn tho weather and left without
stating his destination. The rescued
crew of the Geiser were taken to the hotel
Denmark on the arrival of tho Wieland.
