lifeboats from the low-lying port side,
and with these went much of the hope
from the hearts of the passengers and
crew.
"At o'clock on the morning of the
9Th the order was given to call all
hands on deck TO prepare TO take to the
small boats. The water had fooled the
engine room and four pumps could not
keep it down. 1t was then up TO the

The Weehawken was the first to be OF
service, as she sent two boats in which
the twenty-five women and children
were placed. These were landed Safely
on the Weehawken. but after that the
storm increased in violence. One of our
boats was smashed, and it became al
most impossible to lower another on
account of the vessel being so far down
on the port side and correspondingly
high on the starboard, where the re-
naming boats were made fast. An
other attempt was made and one was
successfully got into the sea. l and
the three men who were saved with me
jumped into her to take the oars. when
by some unfortunate accident we were
cut loose. The men on the vessel were
seen after that to try repeatedly to
lower another boat, but without sue
cess
The second officer said that the con-
duct of the crew and passengers was
excellent. The women were especially
brave He thinks there is little lfkeli-
hood that the Bulgaria weathered the
storm that night, as she was sinking
when he left her.
The Koordistan, the third vessel that
saw the distress of the Bulgaria with
cut being able to be of assistance be-
cause of the tempestuous seas, arrived
in Bremen on the 18th inst. and reported
that the Bulgaria had foundered. Sec
ond Officer Scharges is reasonably posi-
tive that none were rescued from the
Inflated vessel after he left her, and 1t
is feared that 101 persons went down
with her.
The Bulgaria had no accommodations
for first-class passengers and all the
passengers on board were in the steer
age. They were mostly Germans from
different parts of the United States:
She was not a regular liner and had
been in the service of the Hamburg
American line about a year.

In the morning the Bulgaria was not
to be seen and the Vittoria proceeded
on her journey.
The story of the experience of the
Bulgaria, as told by Second Officer
Scharges, is a thrilling one.
"On February l, at about p. m. ="
said he, "a hurricane of so severe a
nature was encountered that It was
found impossible to make any Roadway,
and at a. m. the following day we
were forced TO heave to. The flying
bridges, both fore and. aft, were carried
away and seamen and passengers were
afraid to venture on deck for fear Of
being swept into the sea. At about I
a. m the spring in the rudder, which is
used to break the strain OF heavy seas,
collapsed, and soon afterward the en-
tire steering gear was washed away.
The steamship then fell IN the trough
and was left at the mercy of the wind
and waves.
Sea after sea swept over u.s." con-
tinued Scharges, smashing in the
doors of the cabin and Lighthouses,
flooding the main deck, washing in the
awning deck and creating havoc all
over the ship. To make matters worse,
100 horses that were stabbed on the up
per forward deck stampeded, and in
their fright made a wild dash, tramp
ling each other to death. This state OF
affairs lasted until all but twenty had
0R6n
the waves Then the butcher of the
vessel, with a number of seamen, went
into the pen and tried to quiet the
beasts that remained. This falling, as
did also the attempt to force the fren-
zied animals overheard, their threats
were cut. Before the maddened animals
were dispatched, however, the butcher
had both his legs broken and one of
the seamen was badly injured.
Any idea that our troubles were over
was soon dispelled when it was found
that the vessel was leaking. All the
hatch coverings had been blown off and
before they could be replaced, four of
the seven holds filed and all had con-
siderable water in them. The cargo next
shifted, listing the steamer heavily to
port. In addition the carcasses of the
dead horses washed aport added to the
heavy list.
For seventy-two hours" added Mr.
Scharges, passengers and crew
worked like slaves, throwing the cargo
overheard to tighten the ship. but 1t
was of little avail. Inch by inch. foot
by foot, the ship settled. and as she
sunk deeper the waves washed with
greater force and freedom over her.
