are Drowned.
Plymouth, Eng, Feb. 2.-The mail
steamer Channel Queen was totally
wrecked yesterday off the island of
Guernsey. The Channel Queen, which
ran between Plymouth and the island
of Jersey, struck on the rocks during
fog and sank.
The Channel Queens engines were
reversed when the rocks were seen, but
it was too late. The first boat load
reached land and sought help of the
fishermen, who made gallant rescues,
although the heavy sea prevented their
boat from approaching the wreck. The
survivors had to be dragged by ropes
through the sea to the rescuing boats
The captain was the last to leave the
wreck. The latest report is that 10
were drowned-the chief engineer,
three stokers and l5 passengers-in-
Guiding IA onion sellers, who were
drowned in their cabins when the sea
swamped the vessel. The rescued pas
sengers, who numbered As, lost every
thing, even their clothing.
