your correspondent an account of
his experience. He was in the
water about half an hour and at
tempted to get into boat. He was
seized when he managed to get half
in and thrown back into the water.
Again he tried to enter the boat
but the savages who manned it
were determined TO keep him out.
He managed at last to get in and to
stay, in. Clinging to the life line Of
boat not far away he saw his
mother, and as if his trial were not
enough, he was forced to watch a
man shove her into the ocean with
an oar. She never rose. He said
the man was saved and was almost
sure he could recognize him.
Fred Niffler, Swiss was the
most jovial and contented Of all the
unfortunate passengers. He lost all
his money and clothes with the ex-
ception Of a pair of pants and
shirt, but he laughed and now and
again cursed the French sailors
with passionate earnestness.
Niff1er got into life boat with
some others and remained there UNI
til he reached the water, when he
thought 1t was time to leave. None
of the sailors even attempted to
let the boat loose. He swan for a
long time before he was picked up.
He saw an Englishman attempt TO
get into a boat, but the men in the
boat who were sailors of the Bour-

the butt end Of an oar. He fell
back and sank.
Charles Zebra, a Frenchman,
expressed himself as thoroughly
ashamed of his countrymen's con-
duct. This man is one of the most
unfortunate. He had his two
mctLerless boys, five and seven
years old, with him. He put them
In boat, but was prevented from
entering himself. He could not
get in any boat and went down
with the ship, but he came to the
surface and at once looked for the
boat with his boys. They were
nowhere to be seen, and he mourns
them as lost. He fioated along time
before a boat came along He tried
to get in, but was assailed with
oars and boat hooks. Mr.. Zebra
showed your correspondent his
arms and body. His arms are
black and blue and his body is ter
ribly bruised from the blows he re-
ceived. After this boat went off
he was In the water eight hours.
Patrick McKeown is an intelH-
gent young Irishman from Will
mington, Del. He is indignant at
the brutal crew. He was more for
tunate than most of his fellow
passengers and got On a raft when
the Bourgogne was sinking.
One OF the worst sights he said
he ever saw was the murder Of an
American with whom he had be-
steamer This man, whose name
he cannot recall. was from Phila-
delphia, where he has wife and
family. The Philadelphia was
trying to get on raft not far dis
tant from the enc McKeown was
on. A French sailor grabbed half an
oar and beat him over the forehead.
Charles Duttweiler, German,
managed by. an interpreter to tell
his story. 1t is this.
He got in a boat which was tied
fast to the ship and stayed in it
until he saw it was certain death
to remain longer. He jumped. but
was car He'd down in the whirlpool
made by the sinking steamer. He
was in the water half an hour when

the crew assaulted many pas
gers with any implement that q
handy, and If no instrument wa
be had, punched the men and u
men helpless In the water with eir'
fists.
One of the most important wit.
nesses will be John Burgi, who got
into boat with his mother before
the ship sank. The sailors In the
boat held him and threw his poor
old mother into the water. The
sailors threw him out, beat him
with oars and showed him under
the boat. lie was in the water nine/
hours before he was saved by
boat from the Cromartyshire.
Charles Liebra, who lost his ty
children, also said he saw five VI
men who were evidently exhaust

The French sailors cut the
and the women sank.
Gustav CTimaux, French pas
senger, corroborated the other pas
the crew. They did not attempt Il
cut any boats loose except thosi
which they needed themselves. III
saw women showed away fron
boats with oars, and not only bein
showed away. but pushed deep In
the water.
The officers of the Grecian sa
the passengers and sailors presents
ed sorry spectacle when they were
taken on board Of the Cromarty-
shire. They had not eaten for
nearly "a hours. Some are still
dazed md do not know where they
were or what they were doing.
The third officer OF the Cromarty-
shire said that one half-drowned
whom he pulled over the side some
hours after the collision seized his
life belt and asked the steward for
his knifs. He cut 9 piece on the
life belt and started to eat 1t, say
ing 1t was all he wanted.
Strangely enough Mr.. Lacasse is
the only man Of the saloon and cab
in passengers who survives while
his wife is the only woman OF 200
not only of the first saloon cabin,
but OF the whole ship, who escaped.
Mrs Lacasse was reused from her
berth by her nJsband who was on
deck at the time OF the collision.
She threw about her the first arti-
Giles OF clothing she could secure
and rachel the deck OF the listing
steamship to find herself one OF
many frantic and haif-dressed peo-
pie who congregated about the
boats.
She saw the captain Of the steam
err on the bridge and some OF the
officers at other points, end2voring
to dirct the efforts OF the crew to
launch tn boats. There was little
response to the orders Of the oficrs.
The crew seemed paralyzed.
Matters were quiet and there was
no panic at first. Golden moments
were slipping away and the decks
were becoming more and more
crowded with frightened people.
The steamer was listing and set

on the throng and the people lost

Give Their Fourteenth
Annual Ball at the
Armory Hall.
It Was n Glorious success
WA. ns Brilliant ir Not More 50 Than
Its Predecess0rs-Many Out-of
Town People Present

For four teen years the Hermann Soni
nave never missed giving their annua
ball and each year they have worked
hard to make the party Guido the
former in every point. That the one
given last night at the Light Guard
armory was as big success and even
outdid the former efforts OF the lodge is
the unanimous opinion oil those who
have been in the habit OF attending the
parties OF late years. The Older MEM
bers OF the order who attended the part
ies Civ in the earlier days when the So
ciety was 10 its youth say that 1t was en-
tirely different from the old balls, but
nevertheless it was just as Jolly and from
ell indications and@expressions OF opin-
son on all sides it could not have been
more enjoyable.
To be sure there was not az many
quadriies and the comparatively new
two-step has taken the place of some Of
the old style dances, but the old timers
were out in full force and they bad
good time as well as the young people.
The attendance could not have been
more satisfactory and the efforts OF the
committee having the party in charge,
to get out the crowd we're crowned with
success. The large attendance made the
event financial success and as far as
the social end OF it goes it could not |
have been more satisfactory. Several
sleigh loads from Hancock and Hough-
ton and quite delegation from Lake
Linden were on hand and in tor a big
time.
IL didn't take the crowd long to get
warmed up. The first two or three
dances got the crowd fairly started aud
ny the time the orchestra played the
twn-step, "There'll be Hot Time 10 the
Old Town" the dance was going merrily
on and things were commencing TO hum
ia good old style. From then until the
party broke up few short hours before
dawn this morning it was one continual
hot time" and every dance was better
than the previous one.
II IL needless to say that the music was
good. IL was furnished by Karkeet's
Ideal orchestra, and as several OF the
'aYorite dances were appIauded until
they were compelled to play an encore
Il il evident that the crowd was more
than pleased. Mr.. Riney acted as
orompter to the sat sfaction OF all con.
cerned.
