mails and the passengers baggage also
were saved.
According TO statements made by those
on board the Madiana was threading her
way in the night through the narrow
channel between the coral reefs which
leads to Hamilton harbor when she
struck a reef one and q half miles north
east of North rock. All the passengers

impact awoke them and they rushed on

dress, to find that the vessel was fast on
the rocks.

huddled together on the hurricane deck
and the sea breaking over the steamer
drenched them to the skin. For some
time no communication with the Ma
diana was possible. The tug Fladsfen
stood about a mile off awaiting an oppor-
tunity 10 assist. hut it was not until II
o'clock that it became possible to effect
a rescue.
The crew of the Madiana launched
boat, but it could not live in the sea
then running and was dashed to pieces
against the steamers side. A second and
more successful attempt was made a lit
tie later and some of the passengers were
lowered into it and after much exertion
1t succeeded in reaching the Gladisfen.
The Madiana's other lifeboats were then
launched in succession and the remainder
of the passengers and the captain and
crew gained the salvage tug in safety.
