A survivor states that no aud
twenty-five others put OF from the
Stella IN a small boat. Tho sea wa'
calm, but there was n big swirl around
tho rocks. When this boat was a short
distance away from the wreck, the
boilers OF the Stella burst with a ter
rife explosion. and the vessel dlsap
peared stern foremost In the sea.
The last thing the survivor saw was
/ the captain OF the Stella standing
