weather. There Was terrible shock as
the steamer struck and panic followed
especially among the women, causing all
the other passengers 10 lose their heads.
They tried ITO seize boats, lfe-preservers
and other objects capable of supporting
persons in the water. In order to pre-
vent the passenge rs sinking the boats in
lowering them, the captain was obliged
to threaten them, with revolver i'm hand.
Many persons kept afioat after the steam
er foundered by clinging TO the wreckage
until rescued by fishermen from shore.
1t is estimated that 100 persons, most of
whom were passengers, lost their lives.
