IN considering the loss by fire. insur- ance men look at the subject from two points. The property loss is the total loss; the insurance loss the loss that falls upon the insurance companies. Iu the United States there were 3s, ,O03 fires in 1895, which destroyed 5S, 96l pieces of property; the total loss amounted to s14a, l1O, 23S, and the in. surance loss to Ss4,69S,O30.

THREE SAVED.
Further Particulars of the Loss
of the Drummond Castle.
The Ill-Fated Vessel Struck on Reef
and Sunk in Three Minutes.
Two Hundred and Forty Four Lives Were
Lost-The Unlucky Ship Must Have
Struck So as to Have Torn Her Bot
tom From Stem to Stern.

LONDON, June 10.-Further develop
ments have reached here of the loss OF
the steamship Drummond Castle, bound
from Capctown to London. The vessel
had 144 passengers and 1903 officers and
men. Only three men were saved out
of PAT souls on board. The steamer
was heading around Finistcrrc, from
the Bay of Biscay, and making for the
chops of the British channel.
Off Finisterrc is the island of Ushant,
about 20 miles northwest of this port,
one of group of some so islands, the
largest of which are ushant, Molcne,
Leconquet and st. Michel
The Drummond Castle, to steer
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 Lcconquct and
connected by ridges of rock with each
other. At different places there are
riffs through which vessels can pass
Molenc, the latter island being about
half way to mainland, is Sunken 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 unlucky steamer must have
struck so as to tear her bottom from
stem to stern, thus filing all her wa
ter-tight 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 quivcr
as if shaken by dynamite explosion.
This was followed by a horrible graf
ing, rasping sound, the noise of inrush-
ing water, the cries of the passengers,
who sprang from their hcrths 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 or
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
i e
