More than 700 Danish and Norwee

from London, are believed to have
been drowned in the North Atlantic
on June 2S. Out Of nearly 800 soul;
on board the Danish steamship Norge
which left Copenhagen June %, only
twenty-seven are known to be alive
and for the rest no hope is held out.
When last seen the Norge was sink
ing where she struck on the isla OF
Rockall, whose isolated peak raises
itself from deadly Atlantic reef 800
miles off the west coast Of Scotland
Early on the morning of last Tues.
day the Norge, which was out Of het
course where she struck on the isla
of Rockall reef, which, in the distance
looks like a ship under full sail The
Norge was quickly backed of, but the
heavy seas poured in through a rent
in her bows.
The emigrants who we're then
awaiting 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 head Eight boats were
lowered and into these the women
and children were hurriedly put. Six
of these boats smashed against the
side of the Norge and their helpless
inmates we're caught up by the heavy
seas.
Three boatloads got safely away
from the side of the sinking ship and
many of the emigrants who were LEFT
on board, threw themselves into tht
sea and were drowned.
Captain Gundel, so say the surviv,
ors, stood on the bridge of the doomed
vessel until 1t could be seen no more
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some GOO 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 we've already too full and
their occupants beat off the drowning
wretches with oars.
The boat- kept together for some
time. Virtually all of their occupants
we're passengers and were not used to
handling such craft. The boat occu

The fate of the other two boats is
unknown. The lifeboat made faster
progress and fell in with the steam

CIoudburst and Electrical storm Cause
Much Damage in Salt Lake Valley.
A cloudburst in Dry canyon on July
1 partially inundated about a dozen
blocks in the northeastern part of Salt
Lake City. The water rushed from
the mouth Of the mountain defile in a
wave said to have been more than six
feet high. In less than half an hour
It had rushed across the east bench,
swept over whole blocks and torn
down the thoroughfares in that por.
ton OF the city, leaving a wake of mud,
sand and debris.
Just before the cloudburst an cleo
trical storm passed along the noun
tain range, doing not less than $12 500
damage to property of the Utah Light
& Railway company.
About 6 o'clock, while the electrical
storm was at its height at Bear river,
the station there of the company was
rendered useless by being struck by a
heavy bolt. Before the company had
had time to recover from that shock,
word came that the station at Ogden
had been struck by second bolt, do
ing about $500 damage, the same
amount as at Bear river.
An hour later the sub-station at Muir

been struck by lightning. 1t complete.

that city, which was without lights
the remainder OF the night.
The damage caused by the cloud

to depth varying from one to six
Inches. Flower beds are ruined, shrubs
torn up, fences either partially swept
away or badly damaged, wooden side
walks floated off on the crest of the
flood cellars were filed with water
and the streets cut where the torrent
rushed down them.
