OCEANS VICTIMS,
Two Scandinavian Steamers Collide
and III Passengers Perish.

Two Scandinavian Steamers Collide
and III Passengers Perish.
In thick fog at early .dawn, off Sable
Island, near Cape Race, the steamship
Thingvalla, Of the Thingvalla line, crashed
into the steamship Geiser of the same line,
and, five minutes later, the waters of the
Atlantic were gurgling through great hole
in the hull of the Geiser as she sunk to q
grave beneath the angry waters.
The Geiser had just left New York with
163 souls on board, ninety-three passengers
ard seventy of her crew, bound for Stettin,
Copenhagen, Denmark and Christiana, Swe-
den.
Everybody in the Inflated Geiser, except the
portion of the crew who were Oh duty, were
also asleep at the time. The first mate Of
the Geiser, who stood on the bridge
keeping a sharp lookout, , did not
see the approaching Thingvalla
mission of destruction until her bow was too
near tho Geiser for the terrible calamity to
be averted. Almost before he had time to
think the Thingvalla was on him.
There was shock, crash, and the terrible
work of destruction was done. The terrible
crash awakened every sleeping passenger Of
the doomed ship. As they sprang terror.
stricken from their berths the omnous sound
of the waters rushing and gurgling into and
through their vessel told them in an instant
the terrible ordeal that fate had in store for
them.
The Thingvalla struck the Geiser amid
ships on the starboard side and cut her half
in twain.
The Ge;ser's deck was aslant and wet after
she was struck, and the ship lurched con-
siderably toward her wounded side, and pas,
sengers unable to find foothold, plunged
and rolled overheard almost as rapidly as
they reached the deck.
In seven minutes the dying Geiser gave
her last lurch. A wave swept across the
deck, and when it subsided only the bow
with the bridge above it and the chief officer,
Henry Brown, standing on the bridge,
gripping the railing and looking away
over. the bow of the ship into the
fog and mist, were to be seen. An
other instant and ship and man were gone.
Three boats of the Thingvalla were lowered
and manned. The first away rowed straight
to an upturned boat, on which woman was
supported by Third Officer Petersen, to-
gether with an engineer who had his
arm broken and seaman with
broken leg. These were taken on board the
boat, and very Soou afterward the other
boats had picked up the few others who sur.
vived, thirty one all told, of passengers and
crew. One hundred and seventeen souls had
been drowned.
Over six hours afterward as the Thing
vala, with her grief stricken human cargo,
lay tossing upon the waves, with distress
signals flying mt hor masthead, she was ".
sighted by tho steamer Wicland, Of the
Hamburg American line, which went
Immediately to her relief. The Wielands
officers. on hearing the terrible tale of diSas-
ter, took all the passengers Of the Thingyaila
and the rescuad passengers and crew OF the
Geiser on board and brought thNm TO the
port of New York. arriving at her dock in
Hoboken the following evening.

bronchitis it usually passes off as cold in the
chest, and still the patient does not feel entire
ly well. He feels tired and languid. and is in.
capable of taking his usual amount of exercise,
and experiences shortness of breath, with
more or less warmth in the palms of his hands.
Soon after this congh appears. accompanied
by an eXpectoration of thick mucus, followed
by hectic flush, loss of flesh and strength, and
night sweats continue, when the patient rs
sumes all the appearance of having genuine
case of consumption. But this is simply catarrh
of the lungs or chronic bronchitis.
In the latter stages of the disease the mucous
membrane of the larger bronchial tube softens,
while in the smaller tubes and air cells of the
lungs the mucous membrane becomes con-
gested and inflamed There are no cavities or
tubercles in the lungs, but merely wasting

takes place from obstruction of the bronchial

case that the patient dies in one of these attacks
