Crowded Ship Lost.

About 100 lives were lost by the wreck
of the passenger steamer Stella, plying
between Southampton and the Channel
Islands, which crashed upon the dreaded
Casquet rocks. near the Island of Alder
ny. Thursday afternoon.
The ship struck the rocks IN dense fog
and foundered within ten minutes, her
boilers exploding with tremendous re
port as she went down.
The scene at the moment of the sinking
of the vessel was heartrending Women
were screaming and praying and were
clinging to spars and other wreckage in
all directions. Those who had succeeded
in getting into the lifeboats- had narrow
escapes from being engulfed on account
of the suction caused by the sinking ship.
The voice of Captain Rocks, from the
bridge, was frequently heard urging the
rowers to pull for their lives. and the last
seen of the brave captain, who persisted
with his vessel. he was still at his post.
From time immemorial the Casquets
have been the scene of disasters. The
most notable, perhaps, was one that oc-

liam, son of King HenryI, with retiuue
of more than 40 members of the princi-
pal noble families of England and Nor
mandy, persisted by sihpwreck there.
According to familiar story, King
Henry never smiled again after he
heard of his sons death.
