Particulars.

Particulars of the wreck of the
Norge follow:
Early on the morning of last Tues
day, the Norge, which was out OF her
course in heavy weather, ran on the
Rockall reef, which at a distance looks
like a ship under full sail. The Norge
was quickly backed off, but the heavy
seas poured in through rent in her
bows.
The emigrants, who were then await
ing breakfast below, ran on deck. The
hatchways were scarcely built for
these hundreds of souls and became
clogged
The Norge quickly began to go down
by the rock. Eight boats were loaded
and the women and children were hur-
riedly put into them. Six of these
boats smashed against the side Of the
Norge and their helpless inmates were
caught by the heavy seas.
Three boat loads got safely away
from the side of the sinking ship and
many of the emigrants who were left
on board, Selling life belts, threw
themselves into the sea and were
drowned.
Captain Gundell, so say the surviv
ors, stood on the bridge of the doomed
vessel until it could be seen no more.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 600 terrified emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats
but these were already too full anc
their occupants beat off the drowning
wretches with oars.
The boats kept together for som'
hours. Practically all of their occu
pants were passengers and were no
used to handling such craft. The boa
occupied by the survivors and whicl
landed at Grimsby was a life boat.
The fate of the other two boats /
unknown.
