NEW YORK, August 25.-The Thing
valla line steamer Norne, which arrived
here to-day reports that she sunk the
French fishing schooner Lacoquette OF
Bayoune, France, on Saturday last, on
the Grand Ranks. The captain and
eight seamen were saved. Sixteen went
down with the unfortunate vessel. The
Norge sailed from Stettin, August 3.
The weather was generally fine to the
banks Of New Foundland when It be-
came foggy with patches OF clear wea-
Their. On Saturday, August 20, between
3 and 4 O'Clock in the afternoon the wea-
Their was fogEF- but not so thick that
the vessels speed was reduced. Captain
Knudsen said he could see about three
cables lengths ahead. The wind was
fairly brisk from the west-southwest,
when "A vessel suddenly doomed up from
the north with sails full set directly
across the bow of the steamer. Bells
were runE TO stop and back at full
speed, but too late to check the steam
er's Roadway.
The stranger, fishing schooner, fell
across the bow and with crash was
forced over and sunk. Three men
sprung aboard Of the Norge. The pas
sen9ers OF the Norge, most OF whom
were about the decks, rushed about in
alarm at the shock, but we're soon quiet
ed when they learned that the steamer
was uuinjured. a boat was lowered and
six men and n dog were picked up. The
vessel sank ALMOST Immediately and In
sinking carried with her sixteen OF her
crew. Captain KHudsen, OF the Norge.
said that as a steam vessel, he was
obliged to keep out OF the way Of all
sailing craft, but that this was q time
when the sailing vessel could do more
to help herself than the steamer. The
latter was going ahead at full speed, for
the fog was not, in the Judgment Of the
captain. sufficient 10 reduce headway.
The fisherman was an active vessel, had
n good breeze and was under good
Storage way, hut made no attempt to
avoid the collision, keeping on With
sails full HntA squarelV under the bow.
The large hull Of the Norge, Captain
Knudsen snid. should have been visible
fer long distance.
