Four boats were launched, only to be crushed against the ship. In momentary lull, the other four boats were launched in the lee of the wreck and all on board crowded into them.
 The boat Captain Berri got contained thirty-seYen persons all told, including a. woman and four children.
 Berri took command and ordered sig nal lights carried for the other boats to follow. The four boats parted company, however, almost at once, and Berri never saw trace of the three boats after leav1 ing the ship. Everybody worked hard to keep the boat s head to the waves, and all suffered most intensely through the first night. Some froze to death, and others jumped overheard. Of the last days of the terrible experience Cap- tain Berri has only a hay recollection.

 Raymon Jiminez, another of the pas sengers, was the head of The firm of R. J. Jiminez & Co.,. contractors and en- gineers, of this city.
