The log Of the Cromartyshirc signed
by Captain Henderson is as follows:
On July 4th. at A. NJ, dense fog,

island. ship by wind on port tack
heading about w. N. W., through un-
der reduced canvass going about four
or five knots per hour. Our fog horn
was being kept going regularly every
minute. AT that time was heard q
steamers whistle on our weather side
or port beam which seemed to be near
ing very fast.
We blew a horn and We're answered
by the steamers whistle when all of a
sudden she doomed through the fog on
our port bow ana crashed into us 60
ing at terrific speed. Our fore top
mast and main topgallant mast came
down bringing whit yards and every
thing attached. / Immediately order
ed the boats out and went to examine
the damage.

pletely cut off and the plates twisted
into every conceivable shape. The
other ship disappeared through the
fog. However. our ship was floating
on her collision bulkhead, so there
sinking. We set to work Immediately
to clear the wreckage and also to ship
ing over the starboard bow in danger
of punching holes in the bow.
We heard the steamer blowing her
whistle and we answered with our fog
horn. The steamer then threw up 4
rocket and fired a shot. We also threw
up some rockets and fired several shots
but we neither saw or heard anything
more of the steamer.
Shortly after or about $50 A. NJ.
the fog lifted somewhat and we saw
two boats pulling toward us with the
French flag flying. We signalled them
to come alongside and found that the
steamer was the La Bourgogne from
New York for Havre and that she had
gone down.
We laid to all day and received or

amongst the passengers and crew. re-

And named all things that lac bchcid,

She named the flowers, the weeds the trees,
And all the grOwthS OF Iil the seas.
She told him all the rocks 10y name,
The winds and whence they blew;
She told him how the seas were formed,
And how the mountain grew:

And all the rounded skies
Were mapped ana Charjcd for the gaze
