The Inflated Vessel Struck on a Reef
and Sunk in Three Minutes.
Two Hundred and Forty-Four Lives wcro
Lost-Thc UniuCky ship Must Have
Struck SO rs to Have Torn Her Bot
tom From Stem to stern.

LONDON, June 2O-Further develop
ments have reached here of the loss of
the steamship Drummond Castle. bound
from Capetown to London. The vessel
had IA passengers and 1913 officers and
men. Only three men were saved out
of PAT souls on board The steamer
was heading around Finisterre. from
the Bay of Biscay, and making for the
chops of the British channel.
OFF Finisterre is the island of Ushant,
about 20 miles northwest of this port,
one of a group of some 30 islands, the
largest of which are Ushant, Molene,
Leconquet and st. Michel.
The Drummond Castle, To steer a
safe course, should have been away
outside of Ushant, upon which island
is lighthouse and signal station, but
for some reason not satisfactorily ex-
planned the steamship headed inside of
Ushant. Between that point and the
mainland of France is line of islands
including Molenc and Leconquet and
connected by ridges of rock with each
other. At different places there are
riffs through which vessels can pass
with safety, but between Ushant and
Molene, the latter island being about
half way to mainland is n sunlen reef
of rocks with deep water on both sides
of it and covered in parts even at the
lowest tides. 1t was on this ridge that
the Drummond Castle struck while go-
ing at full speed.
The unlucly steamer must have
struck so as to tear her bottom from
stem to stern, thus filling all her wa
ter-tlght compartments, and sending
her to the bottom within three min
utes. Marquardt, one of the survivors.
has made statement in which he says
that Capt. Pierce had just gone TO his
cabin for a brief rest when there
was terrible shock, which
caused the Drummond Castle to culver
as if shaken by dynamite explosion.
This was followed by horrible graf
ing, rasping sound, the noise of inrush-
ing water, the cries OF the passengers.
who sprang from their berths in ter
ror, and the sharp words of command
from the officers on the deck, who
ordered all hands to clear away
the boats for lowering. But the
rents in the stricken steamer
were so wide and deep that but few of
the passengers had time to scramble
up on deck before she gave two OF
three heavy rolls and then an awful
lurch, accompanied by some interior
explosion, and she sank.
Some of the passengers, however,
succeeded in fastening life-preservers
around them, and some of the bodies
washed ashore were so provided.
a tug which has just returned from
Molene island says that the bodies of
20 of the VICTIMS of the wreck of the
Drummond Castle have been washed
ashore at that place.
Much wreckage of the lost steamship
Is washing ashore at Ushant and Mo
