The following day foggy weather shut
in, but for all that we managed to feel
our way along until Wednesday morn
ing, we saw a steamer emerging from
h bank of fog and coming directly
towards us.
Il judged" said Capt. Mckay, ..that
whe first sighted. she was going al
he rate of 10 or II miles per hour. AT
that time we could see nearly a quar-
ter of a mile away and we were maxi
ing abou two miles an hour. with light
westerly winds which prevailed. See
ing a collision was inevitable the alarm
was given and in less than three min
utes from the time the steamer was
first seen approaching she crashed into
our starboard quarter. almost cutting
Il vessel in twain. The crew made a
rush for the rigging to save their lives.
Fifteen Of the men succeeded in
reaching the rigging. when the vesse,
began to so down rapidly. Fortunately
the steamer swung alongside the sink
ing craft giving the men in the rigging
an opportunity to jump to a place of
safety on h steamers deck. The
schooner sunk In just one minute and
a half after she was struck"
Captain Mckay and one Of the crew
were obliged to jump into the sea, but
were speedily rescued. The nam0, OF
the rescued men are a follows: Cap-
