THE ST. OLAF LOST
OFF SEVEN ISLANDS
Not a Soul on Board The
Vessel Saved.
TWENTY-SIX DROWNED
The Ship Probably Ran Ashore Dur
ing a Heavy Gale.
SHE LIES ON A ROCK OF BoULE ISLAND
The Residents Of Sewn Islands Are Searching
the Shores For Bodies If the Dead.
One, That Of Woman, Has
Been Found
(By the Associated Press.)

Quebec, Nov. 24.-News reached here
early this afternoon that the steamer
ST. Olaf, which has been coasting be-
tween this port and Point Aux Es-
quimaux in the lower ST. Lawrence,
for the last two years, had become a
total wreck off Seven Islands and that
her crew was entirely lost. Captain
Lemaistre, in command of the steamer,
and several of his officers and crew
belonged to this city. The first dis
patch from Seven Islands brought but
very meagre news and it was only late
in the afternoon that Messrs. A. Frazer
and Company, owners of the steamer
were informed of the extent of the dis
aster. Besides the nineteen men of
the steamers crew, it was learned that
seven passengers had also persisted.
Before coming to this port she ran
between Pictou and Magrlalen Islands
and was chartered by Messrs. Frazer
and Company to replace the steamship
Otter wrecked on her last trip to Que
bee two years ago. The ST. Olaf left
here on Sunday morning last on her
last trip to EsquimauX Point, carrying
government mails, passengers and IL
large cargo. The steamer left lmme-
diately on her return trip to this port.
The last news heard of the st. Olaf up
till this morning was that she had left
Sheldrage on Wednesday afternoon
and shortly after this the signal sta
ton dispatcher reported rough wealth
er with gales of wind and snow, and it
is supposed that during one of these
gales the st. Olaf ran ashore on one
of the rocks at the entrance of the
Seven Islands, as the dispatch states
that she was wrecked on lhpule Island.
Captain Lemaistre was well and fay
orablv known as a careful and skillful
coast navigator and has been q resi-
dent of this city for some years.
Passengers:
LOUIS GREEN, of Pentecost, ON his
way to Quebec to spend the winter
with his brothers.
JOSEPH BACON.
CLARENCE BOND.
JEREMIAH CHFNICK.
GERALD MAHAR, Sheldrabe.
NAPOLEON BOLDIN, st. Johns
River.
MISS MARC PAGE, Thunder River.
The body of a woman has been
found.
As soon as the news of the wreck
reached Seven Islands a searching
party went out to attempt to rescue
any of the shipwreck people if pos
sible, but this was impossible as every
one aboard the vessel seems to have
been lost.
News has been received here tonight
that the ST. Olaf is lying on the rock
and at low tide two feet of her hull
can be seen out of water. The resi-
dents of Seven Islands are searching
the shores for bodies but have not re-
turned up to O'Clock this evening. The
place where the steamer was wrecked
is about seven miles off Seven Islands
and about 300 miles from this port.
