were brought on deck and provided
with life belts and warm clothing.
The Trenton and the Olga came
into collision, and when the Olga
slipped her cable and ran clear the
crews of both ships gave a ringing
cheer. The Olga was then run on
the beach near Nsisigano River.
Captain Douglas thus describes the
movements and managements Of the
Trenton. He says, for large ship
like the Trenton, with her rudder
gone and her fires exlinguished, and

the howsprit and both masts. The
schooner then swung clear and sank
in a few minutes. There were on

down with the vessel as was
described in our last issue, and
came out from under the Olga near
the main chains. He had just time
to breathe when he was struck by
the main channels. When he again
rose to the surface, the Olga relied
gently over, and he got lold of the
main chain plates, and climbed into
, the channels. He saw Mr.. Ownshy
coming alongside and heard him cry

him, although he was within an
arms length of him. The crew of

too weak to hold on, and he sank.
