AWFUL DISASTER.

Steamer Elbe OF North German Lloyd Line
Wrecked on the Needles-Bound from
Bremen to New York-More than Three
Hundred Passengers Found watery
Grave.
THE North German Lloyd steamship
"Elbe," bound from Bremen to New York,
was sunk in collision with small steamer
fifty miles off Lowestoft, coast OF Suffolk,
England, early last Wednesday morning
She carried 344 souls, as folio VS.: First
cabin, 10; second cabin. 33; steerage, 1877 ;
officers and crew, 149. OF this number only
twenty were saved. The "Elbe" left
Bremen on Tuesday afternoon. The few
hours OF the voyage before the disaster
were uneventful. At four o'clock Wednes-
day morning the wind was blowing very
hard and tremendous sea was running.
The morning was unusually dark. Numer-
GUS lights were seen In all dire ,tions, show
ing that many vessels we're near by. The
captain ordered, therefore, that rockets
should be sent up AT regular intervals to
warn the craft to keep out OF the "Elbe's"
course. 1t was near to six O'Clock and the
"Elbe" was about fifty miles fl Lowestoft,
)ast OF Suffolk, when the lookout man
sighted a steamer OF about 1900 tons ap-
preaching. He gave the word, and as q
precaution the number OF rockets was
doubled and they were sent up at short in
tervals. Before the "Elbe" could chan 90
her course, there was terrific collision.
When the smaller steamer wrenched away
an enormous h ,le was left in the "Elbe's"
side. The water poured through a I'D down
into the engine room in cataract. The
room filed almost instantly. The engines
were still and the big hulk began to settle.
The passengers were in bed. The bitter
cold and rough sea had prevented any early
rising and only the officers and crew on
duty were on deck when the ship was
struck. The shock and crash reused
every body. The steerage was in panic in
a moment and men and women half dressed
or in their night clothes came crowding up
the companiopways. They had heard the
sound Of rushing wa or as the other steamer
backed off, and felt the "Elbe" lurch and
settle. They had grssped the fact that it
was then life or death with them, and al
most to man had succumbed to their ter.
ror. They chung together in groups, facing
the cold and storm. and cri I'D aloud for
help or prayed on their knees for deliver
ance. One Of the life boats succeeded in
getting away from the doomed vessel. The
steamer "Cra -hie," which caused the disas.
ter, kept on her course. The survivors
were picked up by fishing smack and
taken to London.
