TELLS THE SAME STORY
OF the Foundering of the Colima as the
Others Who Were Rescued.

New York, July 13.-The first sur
vivors to reach New York of the i'll
fated steamer Colima which foundered
in the Pacific ocean on May q, arrived

ed and began TO take water, NOuwens
got a life preserver.
Suddenly the ship went over on her
beam ends and foundered. Not a boat
was lowered. Some boats were in the
water, but they had been knocked from
the davits. Nouwens jumped into the
sea and was drawn down by the sue
ton. When he arose to the surface he
saw lumber and wreckage all around
him. Soon a man got into a boat with
him. A few minutes later they picked
up two women.
The boat was upset and one of the
women grabbed NOuwens by the neck.
He knocked her away and she sank.
When they got the boat righted they
pulled the other woman in. They de-
cided, however, that they would leave
the boat and make for a piece Of deck.
So they deserted the woman in spite of
her pleadings.
The two men got on a raft where
alredy were six persons. Three times
was the raft upset, and each time a man
was lost After this the sea Gained
down. Just before shutdown another
raft, with five persons on board, was
met. They were then 80 miles from
shore All night the men rowed, and
when daylight came land was in sight.
Mr. Bryan, who came on the Newport,
was on the same raft with NOuwens.
