Survivors Of the Wrecked Steamer Remus
Reach Dover.
London, Feb. "A grim story of the
sea was brought to Dover by fourteen
survivors of the crew Of the steamer
Remus, which now lies a broken
backed wreck on the rocks Of the Dan
ish coast. The vessel was bound from
Philadelphia for Aarhaus with a cargo
of wheat. 1t encountered a heavy
gale on Saturday morning, was driven
ashore, and soon parted amidship.
Three Of the crew, while trying to
get ashore with rope, were drowned.
This was the first loss. Then six 9TH
ers attempted to land in a boat, but
before they got clear of the wreck the
boat capsized, and five out of the six
went down. AS the hull of the ship
sank the survivors took refuge in the
rigging. There was cutting wind,
and two presently made for land.
These also were drowned.
To add to the horrors of the succeed
ing night the skipper, Captain VIII
liams, became delirious and shot him
self, and two men fell exhausted from
the rigging into the sea. The surviv-
ors, fourteen out of a crew Of twenty
seven. were rescued after twenty four
