Ii Was the Crathie.
ROTTERDAM, Jan. 31.-Intefview which
we're had here this afternoon with Captain
Gordon, of the steamer Crathie, and
with the second officer OF that vessel,
now leave no room for doubt that
she was the steamship which ran into and
sunk the Elbe. Gordon said that the
Crathie at $3.50 a. IN. yesterday was about
30 miles from Waterway. IL was very
dark and the sea and wind were strong
Continuing he said: 81 stood at the bot
tom of the cabin staircase and was going
on deck when there was heavy shock, q
crack and the water began to pour into
the cabin.
"I ran on deck and saw large, strange
ship across the bows of the Crathie.
After the collision we returned to
the spot where it occurred, or as
near as we could make out, but we
were unable to see any signs OF the steam
er which we thought had proceeded on
her voyage. We followed after ber for
some time, but lost all sight Of her. We
waited for two hours and then proceeded
TO Maassaluis. We reached there yesrer-
day and came here today for repairs
which will take five weeks.o
Mr.. Carl Hoffman, one of the rescued
cabin passengers OF the Elbe, belongs to
Grand Island, Nebraska, u. 3. A. He
stated that had the vessel which coll
lided with the Elbe stood by the latter
steamer the majority of passengers and
vivors were informed that the
Crathie was supposed to be the
vessel which sank the Elbe.
They strongly denounced her crew
for their apparent inhumanity in not
making an effort to assist. Mr. offman,
drowned suffered less than we who are
saved. There was no confusion among the
passengers. They behaved well, and the
only confusion was with the crew, who
tried TO save themselves.
''It seems strange, sir, but to say that
those here are so few, out of the small
number saved there are 10 members of the
crew. But many more might have been
saved. Oh, God, my wife, my boy. Both
are dead and can't go TO their graves"
Here the unfortunate man burst into
tears. After q few minutes he continued.
eyes. Many of the passengers had life
belts but they were useless. The
noise of the collision sounded no louder
in my stateroom than the single beat of
big drum. But when 1 rushed on deck
j found the passengers crowding the
boats and the crew running here and
there and cutting the ropes about the
tackles with which they were lowered"
Passengers for New York.
LowEsToFT, Eng, Jan. 31-The survi-
vors of the passengers of the Elbe will go

ing boat of the Elbe, but up to late this
afternoon there has been no news OF her.
