The Steamer. NamchOW Sinks
With All on Board.
a Terrible Panic and Fight
Among Chinese Coolies.

A cablegram from London, England, says:
A despatch from Hong Kong, China, says
the steamship Meifoo has brought the newsof
the wreck Of the steamer Namchow. From
the few details it is learned that the propeller
shaft Of the Namchow snapped in two while
that vessel was ~plunging in a heavy sea. tho
regulators not having power enough to
control the shaft while the propeller was
whlrling out OF water during a head
plunge. When the shaft carried away
the sea rushed into the shaft alley,
which, with that part of the stern OF
the vessel from which the shaft protuded,
was badly damaged by the accident. The
water quickly made its way into the hold;
the steam pumps were put to work, but the
fires OF the engine room being extinguished
by the rising water, they were soon useless.
and the Namchow began to settle down.
When the first signs Of danger became
known there was a terrible panic among the
SUD OF 400 Chinese passengers on board. The
officers did everything possible to allay the
fears OF the passengers, out the Chinese acted
more like q lot Of raving maniacs let loose
than ike human beings in their senses.
They crowded into The boats, and so ham,

lower them that it was soon seen that escape

TO order even by the pistols OF ths officers
n the steamship went down with the
Chinese and few Europeans battling des-
perately for possession OF the boats, for the
lifeboats, for spare spars, or other means OF
safety.
Several Of the boats, partly lowered, wers
overturned, as the vessel was sinking, by the
crowd OF Chinese who had force3 their way
into them. Several Chinese and Europeans
are reported to have been killed by Knife
thrusrs and pistol shots during this horrible
struggle tor lite. For a short time after the
Namchow sank the water around the spot
where she descended was fairly alive with
human beings, vainly attempting to keep
their heads ABOVE aater. aere and there
upon pieces of wreckage Chinese and Euro
peans were to be seen for a time, clinging
Tor Life, but the angry seas soon swept them
under, never to rise again.
The steamer Meifoo was supposed to have
rescued the few survivors who furnished
this account of the wreck Of the Namchow.
The latter vessel Is described as an Anglo
Chinese trading steamship engaged in the
coasting trade in Chinese waters. Over 400
souls are said to have been lost by the dis
aSter.
