children, others duplicating aid from

to enter the boats, elbowing, fighting
their way to the places from which
the boats were being lowered.
Three boats, 1t is known, successful
ly reached the sea. The passengers
frantically pulled away from the
doomed ship, passing by poor
wretches who were still afloat and
who vainly begged to be taken on
board, while from the snip came long,
despairing cries. The men who were
itting facing the Norge say they saw
the captain still on the bridge and
the passengers on deck, in attitudes of
resignation While they looked the
Norge plunged forward, her stern shot
up in the air. and she disappeared.
A fine Scotch mist. which was fall.

vivors from the view of those who
were brought to Grimsby. The latter,
as soon as their boat was clear of the
scene of the wreck, devoted them
selves to thoughts of their own safety
A jacket was tied to an oar, which
was in turn fastened in the bow Of the
boat, and sailor, Dane, took charge
of the boat Men and women were
put to work keeping the boat afloat.

Story of the Disaster.

Story of the Disaster.
London, July 5. = OF TIA souls on
board the Danish steamer Norge, 1913,
including Captain Gundel, are known
to have been saved up to this hour.
One of the children died in a lifeboat
which brought others to safety. For
the missing GAG persons small hopes
are entertained. The enormous death
roll which was feared at the first
news of the wreck has been decreased
by 1O2, that number of survivors, after
many privations, having been landed
at Stornoway The horrors of the
wreck itself grow with each survivors,
account. Captain Gundel's statement
reads like an affidavit from the dead,
for he went down with the ship, main
tanning that the Norge struck on
sunken rock Is miles south of Rockall.
No tragedy of the sea has had more
appalling consequences, and none has
occurred in shorter time. The pas
sengers were suddenly aroused from
their sleep, terrified by the contact of
the bows of the ship with the solid
granite, followed by grinding, rasp-
ing sounu. as If the hull was being
shored over huge rocks. Then silence,
as the changing bells brought the en-
gines to stop. Immediately there
was rush for the narrow companion
ways, and men. women and children
pushed and struggled and made every
other effort to reach the deck, where
the boats swung from the davis.
Many persons, retaining their pres
ence of mind, seized life preservers.

strings were rctten and they could not
be quickly put around their bodies
Thee who reached the deck saw the
nose of the Norge pinned directly
against the rock. 1t remained there
only few minutes, for Captain Gun
dell gave the order to the engine room
to reverse the engines.
Slowly the ship backed Oft; and as
she gained way it was found that wa
ter was pouring into her hold. This
announcement, called out in Scandin-
avian and presaging death, added to
the supreme fright and agony The
passengers who we're piled in boats
were the fortunate ones who were to
escape, while the unfortunates, who
saw death near. clustered in the yicin-

Japanese Denial,

Washington, July 5.-The Japanese
minister has received a cablegram
from the Tokyo government announc.
ing that the chief of staff of the Sec
ond army on the Lao Tung peninsula
reports that there were no encounter
between the Japanese and Russian
armies on June IL at any place along
all the lines. not even skirmish oc.

This report is in reply to the specific
accusation that three Russians left
wounded on the field on that day were
treated savagely and inhumanely by
Japanese cavalry.
