erected by the functionaries OF the ship
yard.
The East Endcrs, many OF whom were
women and children, swarmed upon a
temporary structure at rather low level,
which was not intended for sightseeing.
So many were they, and so enthusiastic,
that the small force Of police present were
unable to control tkem, although many
warnings were uttered OF the insecurity
OF their situation. Fully two hundred OF
them crowded upon the staging, and there
was not room for one more.
There was an immense din when the
steel monster o. 1880 tons toboganned
down the ways with increasing velocityun-
til she reached the water with q rush and
was almost buried in q monster pillow OF
foam.
Shouts of despair were not heari ct first,
and it was many seconds before the rejoic-
ing guests turned their eyes from the ma
iestic battleship. all a-1utter with brave
bunting, to scene OF wreck and devasta-
tion where before had swayed multitude
of humble Londoners in holiday dress.
The staging invaded by the East Enders
had been swept away by huge back-wash
from the war ship, and 200 women and
children apd men were swirling in the
water or clinging to pieces OF fwrecSage and
half-detached beams.
Shouts of rejoicing changed to clamor
OF horror, Of sympathy. The swarm OF
rowboats and launches that had begun to
cluster around the Albion darted inshore
to the rescue, and brave men plunged into
tle water from piers and the decks OF ves-
sells.

been injured by the wreck Of the

Others rushed about searching for those
near and dear to them, or stood dripping
upon the piers watching the work OF res

Cornell was ahead, followed by Yale, and
