 | the man on the fingers and over the head, causing him to relinquish his hold and disappear. He belonged in Phlla- l delphia, where he left wife ond three or four children. He was tailor by trade and had been fifteen years in America. He hailed from County Ty- rome. McKowan forgot the poor fel- lows name. The Philadelphian tried to get on this raft because he saw and recognized McKowen.
 A ANOrwegian Talks.
 Matted Surich, Norwegian, said 1t did not appear to be anybody's duty to look after the launching of the boats. Those on the port side were not touch- ed by the crew. Surich thinks that had the boats been launched sev- eral hundred more might have been saved. Only one of the port boats, a. small one, was launched. That was the boat the second purser escaped in. It was a small boat, and was got atioat with great difficulty. The lashings on the boat looked as if they had not been disturbed for long time. The fast enings on the life rafts were stout ropes, which the air drafts would not break when the ship went under. Zurich saw one boat leave the Bourgogne with l only few people in it.
 Lost His Sweetheart.
 Fred Nyf1ier, a Swede, lost his sweet heart through the boats not being cut | away The girl had a life belt on, but the suction of the sinking ship was too powerful. He and the young woman got into a boat with many others wait ing for the sailors to detach it. The boat was finally capsized and the girl was lost. Nyffler climbed upon a life raft which upset and five were drown ed, for there were many of the crew upon it. The others again climbed up- on the raft and were saved.
 Armenians Saved.
 Among the survivors are a small party of Armenians. There were sev- enty-five Assyrians in the party when | it left New York All but eight per- ished One of the eight lost his wife l and two brothers and ten other rela- tives, Another lost two daughters. | Only one Of the thirteen Armenians | survive. The Assyrians were bound to 1 their homes near Damascus and every one had from $100 to $200 saved. They | lost it all barely escaping in their pants l and shirts.
 l On the Cromarfyshire. | On board the steamer Grecian, which 1 lowed the Cromartyshire with the sur vivors to Halifax, the Assyrians wept like children and could not be cpm- | forted. The one surviving Armenian l +a1I &.Jo 1e I | of an Armenian priest and his family, | who had got into a boat with some thirty other people. When the end was certain and the boat was abandoned the priest stood up with uplifted hands praying aloud. Several French priests stood on the deck during the sinking | of the steamer without making ah ef | fort to save themselves, and gave ab- | solution to a large number of passen- | gers. There are no survivors who l saved more than enough clothing to cover their nakedness. Nearly all lost several years savings and they were mostly working people bound home to European lands. Consul Francklyn has | information that one smokestack of the steamer fell across a boat and smash
 ed it as it was being launched. There
 were about forty persons in the boat, Three boats were seen bottom up and
 in one it was stated were several dead | bodies of women. As one boat was l launched men pushed the wofnen and 1 children aside and the captain threat I ened to fire on them if they did not de- sist. When the steamer was about to { take her final plunge the captain blew | the steam whistle in good bye to the
 boats, and he was shortly engulfed.
