rector of the United Steamship COM
pany, which owned the Norge, said:
1.-THE Norge was a good strong ship
and had sailed 200 times to the United
States without meeting with any acct
dent. The catastrophe was due to the
weather and to the strong current
After the disaster I passed Rockall,
but it was impossible to see the islet
The best ship in the world might be the
victim of a similar fate if during such
weather she had to make the course
that way"
Captain Gundel of the Norge, who
escaped almost by miracle, said:
|tAll went well until about a quarter
to 8 o'clock When about eighteen
miles south Of Rockall / felt the steam
er strike heavily forward on a sunken
rock. There was gentle breeze blow
ing from the south, with cloudy sky.
81 was on the bridge with the chief
officer, Carpenter. Soundings were
taken and it was reported that there
were five feet of water in the forward
hold.
Orders were given to commence
pumping and also to the passengers to
put on life belts and be ready to get
into the boats, which were ordered to
be put out.
1.-THE crew worked nobly under the
leadership of the chief officer. Seven
boats got safely away, the life RATS
were cut adrift, and the steamer went
down by. the bow. The chief officer told
me she was sinking, and told him tc
jump overheard, which he did. / did
not see him again.
II went down with the steamer. My
right leg got jammed between two
stanchions and was very much injured.
When rose to the surface l noticed a
number of bodies floating.
''The Norge was af1oat only about
twenty minutes after striking. I swan
for about twenty minutes and came
across Second Engineer Brunn, who is
a good swimmer. We kept company
for about an hour and half, when
we noticed a boat some distance off,
and we both made for it. / was him
dered by my leg, and the engineer
reached the boat first. Both of us were
taken on board quite exhausted. We
found that it Was lifeboat No. /. 1t
was crowded and under the charge of
Able Seaman Peter Olsen.
after the Norge struck / intended
to back her off the reef and beach her,
but she went down so rapidly I was
unable to do So / arranged for one
of the boats to hang off Rockall in the
hope of falling in with some steam
trawlers, one of which was passed by
the Norge an hour before she was
wrecked ~. a

GRAY AND CLEVELAND HAVE FRIENDS

GRAY AND CLEVELAND HAVE FRIENDS

Especial to '.The Jersey city News''1
TRENTON. April 9, 1904: When the
Democratic state convention meets here
next Thursday it will be made perfectly
plain that the party in this state will
support Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York for the presidency on the Democrat
ic ticket if the New York delegation de-
cides to go instructed for him. On the
other hand, the party in convention will
take occasion to record its willingness
and pleasure to support judge Gray of
Delaware should the conditions change
and he become a candidate.
The delegation that will be chosen to
go to the national Democratic convention
in ST. Louis will be a conservative one
and the four delegates at large will most
probably be-
Robert Davis, of Jersey City leader,
who is actively for Judge Parker.
William B. Gourley national commit
teeman, and also chairman of the state
committee. who is for Parker, or former
Congressman Johnston Cornish, of Wash
ington, N. J., who is a Cleveland man
Judge Howard Carrow. Of Camden,
who is for Judge Parker.
Former United States Senator James
Smith, Jr.. of Newark, who is for Cleve-
land
Many friends of Judge Parker favor
the instruction Of the delegation, while
many others, WHO are just as strong in
his support, believe, in view of the al
most unbroken custom Of the State, that
the delegation should be left unEns
structed.
There was conference Of the New
Jersey leaders in the office of former
Senator Smith, at No. 43 Cedar street,
New York, Thursday, and the pro-
gramme for the convention was discuss
ed Among those present We're ex-
Congressman Flanagan of Morristown,
former Congressman ohnston Cornish Of
Washington, and David Crater of Free
hold. Congressman Flanagan was out
spoken for instructions.
.sI am for Judge Parker" he declared
as he left Mr.. Smiths office. Il think
he is now the hope of the party and
| should like to see the New eJrsey
State delegation instructed for him, as
believe it would have powerful
effect on the action Of other States. |
do not think that there is any question
that New Jersey will vote for Parker if
the situation remains as at present"
Former Senator james Smith, Jr.,
who has been regarded as the most pow
erful advocate Of Mr. Cleveland's NOM
nation, said:
..My individual opinion is that the
convention will not instruct. 1t is not
the rule for it to do so and | believe it
will not do so now"
