THE mIrFATED ELBF.

the officer on deck that the lights OF
steamer was close aboard over the port
bow. Before the course Of the Elbe
could be changed so as to sheer off from
the approaching steamer, the latter
struck her just about the engine room,
going through her plates as though they
were pasteboard and sticking her nose
almost completely through the hull Of
the Elbe. For a time the CTathie held
the EIbe on her nose, but then her en-
gines were reversed and she backed out
of the aperture she had made. AS she
did so the water rushed into the Elbe in
a torrent and she began Immediately to
sink.
Survivors We're Nearly Frozen.
Barely 20 minutes elapsed between
the collision and the sinking Of the
steamer. A heavy sea was running and
the wind was bitterly cold The small
boat containing the survivors tossed
about until Il o'clock in the morning.
Several vessels were sighted in the
meantime, but they made no replies to
signals that were set for them. The sur
vivors were nearly frozen, having hardly
any clothing and their sufferings were
intense. Eventually the fishing smack
Wildhower saw the signals and bore
down on the boat. In short time the
survivors were taken aboard her where
every thing possible was done for their
comfort

mitted to approaoh too near the open
